Inside this lesson
Smells Like Teen Spirit — Nirvana
Nirvana's defining 1991 grunge anthem captures teenage alienation, boredom, and ironic humor through punchy, repetitive lines. For B1 learners, it offers accessible vocabulary for moods and attitudes, paired with natural conversational dismissals.
Line by line
| English | Česky |
|---|---|
| Load up on guns, bring your friends | Pořádně se ozbrojte, vemte kámoše |
| It's fun to lose and to pretend | Je sranda prohrávat a něco předstírat |
| She's over-bored and self-assured | K smrti se nudí a je plná sebevědomí |
| Oh no, I know a dirty word | Ale ne, znám jedno sprosté slovo |
| Hello, hello, hello, how low | Nazdar, nazdar, nazdar, jak hluboko klesneme |
| Hello, hello, hello, how low | Nazdar, nazdar, nazdar, jak hluboko klesneme |
| Hello, hello, hello, how low | Nazdar, nazdar, nazdar, jak hluboko klesneme |
| Hello, hello, hello | Nazdar, nazdar, nazdar |
| With the lights out, it's less dangerous | Potmě je to míň nebezpečné |
| Here we are now, entertain us | Tak jsme tady, bavte nás |
| I feel stupid, and contagious | Připadám si blbě a jako nákaza |
| Here we are now, entertain us | Tak jsme tady, bavte nás |
