Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dani California

Gettin’ born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and her mama was a hippie
In Alabama she was swinging hammer
Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for?

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin’ on a bank in the state of Indiana
She’s a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way saying baby what you gonna
Lookin’ down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess, I’m your priest
Yeah, yeah

She’s a lover, baby and a fighter
Should’ve seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess, I’m your priest
Yeah, yeah

Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew what others died to prove?
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true, too say say say

Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin’ for the quota
Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess, I’m your priest
Yeah, yeah

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess, I’m your priest
Yeah, yeah

Prevod pesme

Deni Kalifornija

Rodila se u državi Misisipi
Tata je bio pandur a mama hipik
U Alabami je čekićem mahala
To je cena koju plaćaš kad kvariš idilu
Nikad nije doživela ništa drugo do siromaštva
Za šta me, za ime sveta, tvoja kompanija smatra?

Crna marama, slatka Luizijana
Pljačka banku u državi Indijana
Ona je begunac, buntovnik i lepotica
Ode svojim putem i kaže – šta se tu može
gledajući niz vrelu cev .45 metala
Samo još jedan način da se preživljava

Kalifornija, počivaj u miru
Simultano oslobađanje*
Kalifornija pokaži zube
Ona je moja sveštenica, tvoj sveštenik sam ja
Da, da

Ona je ljubavnica, beba i borac
Trebalo je da je prozrem** kad se malo razdanilo
S takvim imenom kao što je Deni Kalifornija
Znalo se da će doći dan kad ću te oplakivati
Pomalo pripita, krala je još jedan dah
Volim svoju malu, do smrti

Kalifornija, počivaj u miru
Simultano oslobađanje*
Kalifornija pokaži zube
Ona je moja sveštenica, tvoj sveštenik sam ja
Da, da

Ko bi znao za tvoju drugu stranu?
Ko bi znao za šta su drugi umirali
Previše dobro da bi ti se reklo zbogom
Previše dobro da bi se reklo, reklo, reklo

Pritisne prigušivač, talentovani animator
Jedan za sad i jedanaest za posle
Nikad nije stigla do Minesote
Čovek iz Severne Dakote je pucao za kvotu
Dole u pustari, ona je najbolje čuvala za kraj
Boli me samo kad se smejem
Prerano je otišla

Kalifornija, počivaj u miru
Simultano oslobađanje*
Kalifornija pokaži zube
Ona je moja sveštenica, tvoj sveštenik sam ja
Da, da

Kalifornija, počivaj u miru
Simultano oslobađanje*
Kalifornija pokaži zube
Ona je moja sveštenica, tvoj sveštenik sam ja
Da, da
