Ivan Mládek (visit link) (born 7 February 1942) is a Czech songwriter, composer, and comedian. His father, a lawyer and painter, taught him to paint, but he preferred music and started his now-famous Banjo Band. The Banjo Band first performed in 1966. In 1968 Mládek emigrated to France to pursue his music career in Paris. He soon returned to Czechoslovakia and became famous as a musician in the second half of the 1970s; he has written over 400 songs as of 2007. He became known as a comedian in the 1980s.

A lot of his songs contain references to places in the Czech Republic.
One such place is Hlavním nádraží [EN: The main railway station].

Praha hlavní nádraží (English: Prague main railway station, abbreviated Praha hl.n) is the largest and most important railway station in Prague in the Czech Republic. It was originally opened in 1871 and named Franz Josef Station after Franz Joseph I of Austria. During the First Republic and from 1945 to 1953 the station was called Wilson Station (Czech: 'Wilsonovo nádraží') after former President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. His statue stood in the park in front of the station before being torn down by German authorities when the U.S. entered the war in 1941.[1] A new statue of Wilson was installed in 2012. In 2010, the station served 132,560 trains and 22 million passengers.

Musician: Ivan Mládek Name of Song: Na Hlavním nádraží Relevant Verse: Na Hlavním nádraží děvčátko pláče Voják se odráží, do vlaku skáče Stahuje okénko, děvčátku mává Na cestu dalekou bez ní se dává Voják je smutný Do hory Kutný Bylo to nutný Narukoval Jednou ho raní Od milé psaní: „Stanu se paní” Slabikoval Vypil na kuráž vínečka pintu Do Prahy běží, v ruce má flintu Na milou míří, slovy ji haní Ona mu říká: „Tvou budu paní” Na Hlavním nádraží děvčátko pláče Voják se odráží, do vlaku skáče Stahuje okénko, děvčátku mává Na cestu dalekou znovu se dává Location website: [Web Link]
