Jan Werich (Czech: [ˈjan ˈvɛrɪx]; 6 February 1905 – 31 October 1980) was a Czech actor, playwright and writer.
Between 1916 to 1924, Werich attended "reálné gymnasium" (equivalent to high school) in Křemencová Street in Prague (where his future partner, Jiří Voskovec, also studied). He studied law at the Charles University Law School from 1924 to 1927, from which he made an early departure to begin his artistic career and forge one of the most important partnerships of his life.
His collaboration with Jiří Voskovec and Jaroslav Ježek lasted for more than 10 years. Their partnership was a platform for their numerous left-wing political satires. The trio's work took inspiration from Dada, with its love of the absurd, a reaction against bourgeois values and the horrors of World War I.
In the years leading up to World War II and the closure of Czechoslovak theatres, Werich, Voskovec and Ježek were forced into exile in the United States in 1938, where Voskovec and Ježek remained for the rest of their lives. Werich returned to his homeland five years later, and started a partnership with Miroslav Horníček. He also worked with famous puppeteer Jiří Trnka to write modern fairy tales. With his new partner Miroslav Horníček at his side, he re-staged many of the plays he had created with Voskovec in the 1930s but set them in the political content specific to the time.
Last time I she'd a tear, was when my father died
But now he's good up in the skies
So I'm gonna make this song crack
I see them haters looking at me
Tryna indict my soul
Tryna read me, tryna see what I know, haha but no
Feel the night
I got no pain to share with you, all right
Though we can share it, about to live your life
Living along, just enjoy your life, enjoy your life
Celebrate in the name of love
Celebrate in the name of love
Never felt this good
Don't you worry
I'm feeling like I should, ooh woah
Never felt this good
Don't you worry, oh oh oh
Never felt this good
Don't you worry
I'm feeling like I should, ooh woah
Never felt this good
Don't you worry, oh oh oh
Cante y no llores, el amor es lleno dolores mami
I want you to listen, don't hear me
I want you respect me, don't feel me
This life is crazy, baby,
Now I want you near me, help me
Cuba, miami to paris, life is short, let's cherish
I'mma kill this, make love to you,
With you and your girl on top of the terrace
I'mma feel this, and since my father died
Baby, I'm tearless, I see the future
But I live for the moment
Makes and astoments
Time is money
I don't know about you, but I own it dale
Feel the vibe
Now we can done it here, you soaked tonight
Let's take it higher, fly the satellite
No one can take away my inner life, inner life
Celebrate in the name of love
Celebrate in the name of love
Never felt this good
Don't you worry
I'm feeling like I should, ooh woah
Never felt this good
Don't you worry, oh oh oh
Never felt this good
Don't you worry
I'm feeling like I should, ooh woah
Never felt this good
