U libar svojih dugova
upiši mene
jer odavno te kupujem
s onim što si htjela čut’

Od straha da ne potone
tvoja ljubav za mene
i kao pčela u žlici čaja, dok drži dah
ja nemam razloga za strah

Dajem ti verse i note
sve moje šarene perle na dar
još te mogu pjesmom kupiti
lukavo i slatkorječivo
još uvjek mogu ti podvaliti ljubav

I sve ću ti obećati
baš sve što hoćeš
moju kožu, moju kost
i lice koje poželiš

Dajem ti verse i note
sve moje šarene perle na dar
još te mogu pjesmom kupiti
lukavo i slatkorječivo
još uvjek mogu ti podvaliti ljubav

Teh ma hi seva hilejda
s’n a heja, s’n deja peji
lej sen da ti veh s’n vejdela
jon di sejla vih s’n da
lej sen da ti veh s’n vej de la heya

English Translation

Paybook

In your book of unpaid dues
Put down my name
For I’ve been selling you too long
Those sweet words, I’m to blame

Afraid to lose your love
Like a bee in a cup of tea
Holding back the breath
Got no reason to be scared

I give you verses and notes
All my motley pearls are yours
I still know how to buy your love-
I have my ways, I utter soft spells
I still know how to set you up with love

I shall promise anything
Anything you want to hear
My flesh and bone
And the face you like to see

I give you verses and notes
All my motley pearls are yours
I still know how to buy your love-
I have my ways, I utter soft spells
I still know how to set you up with love

Teh ma hi seva hilejda
s’n a heja, s’n deja peji
lej sen da ti veh s’n vejdela
jon di sejla vih s’n da
lej sen da ti veh s’n vej de la heya

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay
It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn’t it ironic…dont’cha think

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought…it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
“Well isn’t this nice…”
And isn’t it ironic…dont’cha think

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought…it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you’re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn’t it ironic…dont’cha think
A little too ironic…and I really do think…

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought…it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Prevod pesme

Ironično

Starac je napunio devedeset osmu
Dobio na lotou I sutradan umro
To je kao muva u tvom skupom vinu
To je kao zakasnelo ukidanje smrtne presude
Ironično, zar ne

Kao kiša na dan tvog venčanja
Kao besplatna vožnja koju si već platio
Kao dobar savet koji nisi poslušao
Ko bi pomislio da se to računa

Gospodin Ziher plašio se letenja
Spakovao se I poljubio decu za rastanak
Ceo prokleti život čekao je taj let
I dok je avion padao, pomislio je:
“Kako je lepo…”
Ironično, zar ne

Kao kiša na dan tvog venčanja
Kao besplatna vožnja koju si već platio
Kao dobar savet koji nisi poslušao
Ko bi pomislio da se to računa

Čudno je kako ti se život prišunja
Kad misliš da je sve u redu I da ti dobro ide
Čudno je I to kako ti život pomaže
Kad ti ne ide I kad ti se sve sruči
U lice

Kao gužva na putu kad kasniš
Znak zabrane pušenja na pauzi za cigaretu
Kao milion kašika kad ti treba nož
Kao kad upoznam čoveka mojih snova
A zatim I njegovu predivnu ženu
Ironično, zar ne…zar ne misliš
Malo suviše ironično, stvarno to mislim…

Kao kiša na dan tvog venčanja
Kao besplatna vožnja koju si već platio
Kao dobar savet koji nisi poslušao
Ko bi pomislio da se to računa

Čudno je kako ti se život prišunja
Čudno je, čudno kako ti život pomaže
Kako ti pomaže

Nekako s proljeća
uvijek meni doluta
neka čežnja tamna
tiha mudrost davna

Spuštam ja stare kofere
na perone sudbine
To je miris zrelih godina
Moj kaput baš je težak najdraža

Nekako s proljeća
ja se sjetim starih drugova
Probude se u meni
svi derneci pijani

Tad nosim stare cipele
one znaju moje ulice
To je boja crnoponoćna
Moji koraci baš su teški najdraža

I opet taj osjećaj samoće
kad neće nikog mene krene i hoće
I opet mrakom svoje pjesme bojim
pijan od želje, za usnama tvojim

Sav sam ti od ludila
nekako s proljeća

Nekako s proljeća
sjeti mene nepravda
na pobjede, poraze
i sve lažne obzire

Napravim račun praštanja
popijem pusta maštanja
To je ukus lijepog kajanja
Moji kapci baš su teški najdraža

Nekako s proljeća
noć mi oči otvara
Nemam san da uhvatim
Nema dana da ne izgubim

A hoću, da te vodim ja
tragom sunca, jugom maslina
To je dodir tvojih bedara
Moja duša baš te voli najdraža

Sav sam ti od ludila
bez tebe s proljeća

English Translation

In The Springtime, Somehow

In the springtime, somehow
An ancient wisdom, softly,
With dark longing beside,
Gets me from the inside.

I drop an old suitcase
Down to the platform of fate,
It’s a scent of a mature age,
My coat is a heavy one, oh, the dearest one.

In the springtime, somehow,
I recall the friends of mine.
All the parties we have had
Inside of me raise their heads.

I put on my good old shoes then,
For they know which paths to trace.
They are painted in midnight black,
My pace is a slow one, oh, the dearest one.

The sense of loneliness comes over again,
It gets hold of no one but me.
I paint my songs black over again,
Drunk of desire for the lips of thee.

I am out of my mind,
In the springtime, somehow.

In the springtime, somehow,
Injustice makes me recall
All I won and all I lost,
All of a fake consideration.

I get the account of forgiving done,
I drink up vain fantasies
Tasting like fair regret
My eyes are hard to be opened wide
Oh, the dearest one.

In the springtime, somehow,
Night opens my eyes.
To fall asleep, there is no way,
I lose each and every day.

And I want us to follow
The south full of olives and sunbeams that flow,
Incited by the touch of your thigh
My soul is full of you,
Oh, the dearest one.

The sense of loneliness comes over again,
It gets hold of no one but me.
I paint my songs black over again,
Drunk of desire for the lips of thee.
I am out of my mind,
In the springtime, somehow

I am out of my mind
Without you by my side.

We scaled the face of reason
To find at least one sign
That could reveal the true dimensions
Of life lest we forget

And maybe it’s easier to withdraw from life
With all of it’s misery and wretched lies
Away from harm

We lay by cool still waters
And gazed into the sun
And like the moth’s great imperfection
Succumbed to her fatal charm

Any maybe it’s me who dreams unrequited love
The victim of fools who watch and stand in line
Away from harm

In our vain pursuit of life for one’s own end
Will this crooked path ever cease to end

Prevod pesme

Negde izvan sveta

Vagali smo lice razuma
Da bismo našli bar jedan jedini znak
Koji otkriva istinsku meru života
Da je ne bismo zaboravili

I možda je lakše povući se iz života
Punog jada i bednih laži
Tamo gde nam niko ne može nauditi

Ležimo pored hladne, mirne reke
I gledamo u Sunce
Istom manom kao u leptirice
Privučeni njegovim fatalnim šarmom

Možda sam ja taj što sanja o neuzvraćenoj ljubavi
Jedna od žrtvi – budala što stoje u redu da gledaju Sunce
Tamo gde nam niko ne može nauditi
U zaludnom traganju za životom, do samoga kraja

Da li će ovaj vijugavi put
Ikada prestati da ima kraj

I thought that you knew it all
Well, you’ve seen it ten times before
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the ground
I love slow
Slow but deep
Feigned affections
Wash over me
Dream on my dear
And renounce temporal obligations
Dream on my dear
It’s a sleep from which you may not awaken
You build me up, then you knock me down
You play the fool while I play the clown
We keep time to the beat
Of an old slave drum
You raise my hopes, then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I’m serving time
In disillusionment
I don’t believe you anymore
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you anymore
I don’t believe you
I thought that I knew it all
I’d seen all the signs before
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won
You build me up, then you knock me down
You play the fool while I play the clown
We keep time to the beat
Of an old slave drum
You raise my hopes, then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I’m serving time
In a domestic graveyard
I don’t believe you anymore
I don’t believe you
Never let it be said, I was untrue
I never found a home inside of you
Never let it be said, I was untrue
I gave you all my time
I gave you all my time

Prevod pesme

Sveprisutna dama Ljubav

Mislio sam da je znaš
Videla si je već desetak puta
Mislio sam da si je izgubila
I čvrsto stala na tle
Ja volim polako
Polako, a duboko
Prizemne strasti
Preplavljuju me
Maštam o svojoj dragoj
I skrećem misli sa privremenih zaveta
Maštam o svojoj dragoj
To je san iz koga se možda ne probudim
Ti me uzdižeš, pa bacaš na pod
Glumiš budalu dok ja glumim klovna
Trajemo u ritmu
Drevnih bubnjeva robova
Daješ mi nadu, zatim budiš nemire
Govoriš mi da previše sanjam
Sada služim svoju kaznu
Raspršenih iluzija

Više ti ne verujem
Ne verujem ti
Više ti ne verujem
Ne verujem ti

Mislio sam da je znam
Video sam sve njene znake
Mislio sam ti si ta
Što otrgnu moje srce od tame
Ti me uzdižeš, pa bacaš na pod
Glumiš budalu dok ja glumim klovna
Trajemo u ritmu
Drevnih bubnjeva robova
Daješ mi nadu, zatim budiš nemire
Govoriš mi da previše sanjam
Sada služim svoju kaznu
Na lokalnom groblju

Više ti ne verujem
Ne verujem ti

Nikom ne reci, nisam bio iskren
Nisam u tebi našao dom
Nikom ne reci, nisam bio iskren
A dao sam ti život ceo
Dao sam ti svoj život ceo

Bela noć
Jek i razvejan glas
Zašto ne volim sneg
Zašto ne volim sneg

Noćas smrznut bol
diže snežni hram
jeca sve što znam
svuda leden sjaj
beli šum i kraj

Bela noć
Jek i razvejan glas
Zašto ne volim sneg
Zašto ne volim sneg

Beli se kroz noć
moja snežna laž
kao budan san
diže leden raj
beli hum i kraj

Zašto ne volim sneg
Zašto ne volim sneg

I Do Not Like Snow

A pale night
Echo, the voice torn apart
I do not like snow
I do not like snow

A frozen pain tonight
Builds a temple of snow
Weeping’s all I know
A cold glow around
White noise, the last sound

A pale night
Echo, the voice torn apart
I do not like snow
I do not like snow

A glitter in the night
That’s my winter lie
It builds frozen heaven
As a dream, but awaken
White mound, the last sound

I do not like snow
I do not like snow

I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee

And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue

He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in

“It is always
Nice to see you”
Says the man
Behind the counter

To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella

And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos

I’m pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk

I open
Up the paper
There’s a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of

And I’m turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I’m feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head

There’s a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?

No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

And I’m trying
Not to notice
That she’s hitching
Up her skirt

And while she’s
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Has gotten wet

Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I’m listening

To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice…

And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began…

I finish up my coffee
It’s time to catch the train

Prevod pesme

Kod Toma

Sedim
Jutro je
U restoranu
Na uglu

Čekam
Na kasi
Čoveka
Da mi sipa kafu

Puni šolju
Samo do pola
A pre nego
što se I pobunim
On gleda
Kroz prozor
Nekoga
Ko ulazi

“Uvek je
lepo videti te”
Kaže čovek
Na kasi

Ženi
Koja je ušla
Ona otresa
Svoj kišobran

A ja
Gledam u stranu
Dok se ljube
pozdravljajući se

Pretvaram se
Da ih ne vidim
Umesto toga
Sipam mleko

Otvaram
Novine
Čitam
O glumcu

Koji je umro
Dok je pio
Niko
Za koga sam čula

Prelazim
Na horoskop
I tražim
zabavnu stranu

Osećam
Da me neko gleda
I
Podižem glavu

Žena
Napolju
Gleda unutra
Da li me vidi?

Ne, u stvari
Ne vidi mene
Već vidi
Svoj odraz

Pretvaram se
Da ne primećujem
Kako
Povlači suknju

I dok
Popravlja čarape
Kosa joj je
sasvim mokra

Oh, ova kiša
Padaće
Celog jutra
Dok slušam

Zvona katedrale
Mislim na tvoj glas…

I na izlet u ponoć
Nekada davno
Pre nego što je kiša počela…

Završavam kafu
Vreme je da uhvatim voz

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I’m the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk alone

I’m walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What’s fucked up and everything’s alright
Check my vital signs
To know I’m still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a…

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one and I walk a…

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk alone…

Prevod pesme

 Bulevar srušenih snova

Hodam ulicom sam
Jedinom ulicom za koju znam
Gde me vodi, ne znam
Ali to mi je dom I ja hodam sam

Hodam praznom ulicom
Niz Bulevar srušenih snova
Grad je utonuo u san
Nikog nema, hodam sam

Hodam sam
Hodam…

Samo me moja senka prati
Samo srce tiho kuca
Poželim nekad da me neko nađe
A do tada hodam sam

Hodam po crti
Što me razdvaja iznutra
Po granici, po ivici
I tamo gde idem sam

Čitaj između redova
Shvatićeš šta je otišlo dovraga
Proveri dajem li znakove života
Videćeš da li sam preživeo
Videćeš i da hodam sam

Hodam sam
Hodam…

The post Green Day – Boulevard Of Broken Dreams first appeared on LyricsTranslations.

Caught between the twisted stars the plotted lines the faulty map
That brought Columbus to New York
Betwixt between the East and West, he calls
On her wearing a leather vest.

The Earth squeals and shudders to a halt.

A diamond crucifix in his ear is used to help ward off the Fear
That he has left his soul in someone’s rented car
Inside his pants he hides a mop to clean the mess that he has dropped
Into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell.

And Romeo wanted Juliette,
And Juliette wanted Romeo.

Romeo Rodriguez squares his shoulders and curses Jesus
Runs a comb through his black pony-tail
He’s thinking of his lonely room
The sink that by his bed gives off a stink
Then smells her perfume in his eyes.

And her voice was like a bell…

Outside the streets were steaming, the crack dealers were dreaming
Of an Uzi someone had just scored.

I bet’cha I could hit that light with my one good arm behind my back
Says little Joey Diaz;
Brother , give me another tote those downtown hoods are no damn good
Those Italians need a lesson to be taught
This cop who died in Harlem you think they’d get the warnin’
I was dancing when his brains ran out on the street…

And Romeo had Juliette,
And Juliette had her Romeo.

I’ll take Manhattan in a garbage bag with Latin written on it that says:
“It’s hard to give a shit these days”.
Manhattan’s sinking like a rock, into the filthy Hudson, what a shock…
They wrote a book about it, they said: it was like ancient Rome.

The perfume burned his eyes holding tightly to her thighs.
And something flickered for a minute and then it vanished and was gone.

Prevod pesme

Romeo i Julija

Sluđen zvezdama i putokazima netačne mape,
koja je dovela Kolumba do Njujorka,
ni sa istoka, ni sa zapada, on,
u kožnom prsluku, zove nju.

Zemlja ciči, ježi se i staje.

Dijamantskim raspećem u uhu tera Strah
da je izgubio dušu u nečijim iznajmljenim kolima.
U pantaloma krije metlu, da bi počistio nered koji je uneo
u život vižljaste Julije Bel.

Romeo je hteo Juliju,
Julija je htela Romea.

Romeo Rodrigez se ispravi i opsova Isusa,
provuče češalj kroz crni konjski rep,
misleći na svoju samačku sobu,
na lavabo što bazdi kraj kreveta,
zatim očima udahnu miris njenog parfema.

Glas joj je bio kao zvono…

Napolju, ulice su se pušile, dileri kreka su maštali
o Uziju koji je nekom drugom pripao.

Kladim se da mogu da ovom zdravom rukom  razbijem ono svetlo,
reče mali Džoj Dijaz;
Brate, ‘ajde me odbaci, ovi lupeži iz centra su prokleto loši,
tim Žabarima treba dati lekciju.
Kada su ubili pandura u Harlemu, misliš da su trepnuli?
Plesao sam kada su mu prosuli mozak na ulicu…

A Romeo je bio sa Julijom,
Julija je bila sa svojim Romeom.

Staviću Menhetn u kesu za smeće, na kojoj će latinskim pisati:
“ Boli me uvo, takva su vremena”.
Menhetn tone kao kamen u prljavi Hadson, strašno…
Knjiga je o tome napisana, kaže, bio je kao stari Rim.

Parfem mu oprlji oči, dok je čvrsto stezao njena bedra.
Nešto zatreperi i nestade.
