Dado Topić – Bolji život

Ja hoću život, bolji život, da ga zgrabim poput tigra
život nije dečja igra.
Ja hoću više, hoću bolje još, hoću sve pa kako bude.
Što to vredi kad ne spadam u taj soj jer život traži bolje ljude.

Ja hoću život, sve il’ ništa, ‘oću glavni zgoditak
To moj je moto ali još ipak, nešto ipak tu ne štima
život nije loto.

Ja hoću život, bolji život, lupam glavu posred zida
Gde je tanko tu se kida.
Ja hoću ipak da ostvarim san, želje sve, pa kako bude.
Što to vredi kad ne spadam u taj soj jer život traži bolje ljude.

English Translation

A Better Life

I want a life, a better life, to grab it like a tiger
life is not a child’s play.
I want more, I want better, I want it all, come what may
What’s the use when I’m not of the sort, because life seeks better people.

I want a life, all or nothing, I want the prize
That is my motto but still, yet something is still missing
life is not a lottery.

I want a life, a better life, I hit my head against the wall
Where it’s thin that’s where it rips.
I still want to make my dream come true, all of the wishes, come what may
What’s the use when I’m not of the sort, because life seeks better people.
