Padaj silo i nepravdo,
Svan’o ti je sudnji dan,
Bjeste od nas nocne tmine,
Svanuo je i nas dan

Pljuni i zapjevaj!
Pljuni i zapjevaj, moja Jugoslavijo!
Matero i maceho, tugo moja i utjeho.
Moje srce, moja kuco stara,
Moja dunjo iz ormara,
Moja nevjesto, moja ljepotice,
Moja sirota kraljice,
Jugo, Jugice…

Ovaj hljeb, evo lomim,
Moja Jugoslavijo,
Za tebe i bolje dane,
Konje neosedlane
Ovdje kome ne porastu zubi,
E, kukala mu mati
Ovdje nikad nece copor naci,
Ko ne nauci urlati

Jugoslavijo na noge,
Pjevaj nek’ te cuju,
Ko ne slusa pjesmu,
Slusace oluju!

Spit And Sing My Yugoslavia

Go down force and injustice
Your doomsday has come
Run away from us, nightly gloom,
Our day has dawned too

Spit and sing!
Spit and sing, my Yugoslavia!
Mother, step mother, my sorrow and consolation.
My heart, my home.
My quince from the closet,
my bride, my beauty
My poor queen,
Yuga, little yuga…

This bread, here I’m breaking,
My Yugoslavia,
For you and better days,
Unsaddled horses
Those who don’t grow teeth here,
Eh, poor is their mother
Who don’t learn how to howl
will never find a herd here

Yugoslavia, get up on your feet
Sing, let them hear you
Those that don’t listen to the song,
will listen to a storm!

This bread, here I’m breaking,

Sing, let them hear you
Those that don’t listen to the song,

Nisam te izgleda volio mnogo
Sve je po starom al više nisam tvoj

I nije mi važno s kime noćas
Slušaš ovu pjesmu i plačeš li

Ipak poželim neko pismo
Ipak mada zajedno nismo
Piši, piši ko nekad 2-3 reda
Piši, znam da je gužva i da nećeš stići
Piši, opiši mjesta
Gdje nas dvoje skupa nikada nećemo ići

Ti si zadnji romantik na ovom svijetu
Što se sporo kreće i čeka raj

Malo si samo promijenila glumce
Al isti je komad, isti zaplet i kraj

Ipak poželim neko pismo
Ipak mada zajedno nismo
Piši, piši ko nekad 2-3 reda
Piši, znam da je gužva i da nećeš stići
Piši, opiši mjesta
Gdje nas dvoje skupa nikada nećemo ići

English Translation

Still, I Wish For A Letter

Looks like I’ve never loved you much
Everything’s the same but I’m no longer yours

And it doesn’t matter to me with whom, tonight,
You’re listening to this song and whether you’re crying

Still, I sometimes wish for a letter
Although we’re not together
Write, write like you used to 2-3 lines
Write, I know you’re busy and wont manage
Write, describe the places
Where the two of us will never go together

You’re the last romanticist in this world
Who’s moving slowly and awaiting for heaven

You’ve just replaced the cast a bit
But the play is the same, same plot and the end

Still, I sometimes wish for a letter
Although we’re not together
Write, write like you used to 2-3 lines
Write, I know you’re busy and wont manage
Write, describe the places
Where the two of us will never go together

Ako si, ljubo, pošla spat
šta ćemo ja i ti
kao prvo vrata zaključati
kao drugo prozor zatvoriti
kao treće spustiti zavjese
ostat’ ćemo doma i ljubit’ se
ostat’ ćemo doma i ljubit’ se

Ako se sutra zarati
moja mala, šta ćemo ja i ti
vrata zaključati, prozore zatvoriti
spustiti zavjese
ostat’ ćemo kući i ljubit’ se

A kad pođe pucati
preko glave ćemo se pokriti
ispod male dekice
ja i ti i zvjezdice
grickat’ ćemo grožđe
čekat’ ćemo rat da prođe

Vodi me na ples
ćiribiribela moja mala
vodi me na ples

Ali ako odem ne zaboravi me
ćiribiribela, odoh u marine

Ona neće pit’ kafe
vengo čokoladu
ona misli sempjasta
da se soldi kradu

Biž’te mi vanka iz kuće
jer ću te broštulinom
ne sporkaj mi kuzine
jer cu te mazininom

English Translation

Chiribiribella

If, my love, you’re going to sleep
what are we gonna do
First of all, lock the door
Second, close the window
Third, put down the curtains
We will stay in and kiss…
We will stay in and kiss…

If a war starts tomorrow
My dear what are we gonna do
Lock the door
Close the windows
Put down the curtains
We will stay in and kiss

And when the shootings start
We’ll cover our heads
under little blanket
You and me and the little stars
We’ll eat grapes
we’ll wait for the war to be over

Take me dancing
Chiribiribella, my little one
Take me dancing

And if I leave, don’t forget me
Chiribiribella, I’m joining the marines

She wont drink coffee
Doesn’t want chocolate
She thinks cutely
that money gets stolen

Get out of my house
…

Gnjave kina i kafane
male droce, šatro dame
I gnjave
Svega preko glave

A ona išla bi negdje
da obuče finu novu haljinu
kako stvarno
izgužvana stalno

A ja joj kazem
ne budi luda
bit ce nam bolje sto puta
na zadnjem sjedištu moga auta

Dosta cvrkuta i pejzaža
vec je postalo sve gnjavaža
A i mravi
gnjave me u travi

A ona isla bi negdje
da je ptice bude
gdje su livade
i mirišu trave
i neba se plave

Ma srce moje
ne budi luda
bit će nam bolje sto puta
na zadnjem sjedištu moga auta

Pa da
Životi gnjave
smrti gnjave
Mrzim priče i šuplje glave
I mudrace
Uvijek iste face

A ona išla bi negdje
gdje se igra
da se izigra
i da me ljubi
kad ne vide drugi

A duso moja
ne budi luda
bit će nam bolje sto puta
na zadnjem sjedištu moga auta
Pa da
Gnjave me kina i kafane
Gnjave droce, gnjave dame
Svi gnjave
I to preko glave

English Translation

On The Backseat Of My Car

Harassed by cinemas and pubs
little sluts, so called ladies
And they are boring
Everything is so annoying

And she wants to go somewhere
to wear her nice new dress
so really
always wrinkled

But I tell her
don’t be crazy
it will be one hundred times better
on the backseat of my car

Enough of chirping and landscapes
Everything has become such a hassle
and even ants
are hassling me in the grass

And she wants to go somewhere
to be waken up by birds
where there are meadows
and the grass smells
and the skies are blue

Well my sweetheart
don’t be crazy
it will be one hundred times better
on the backseat of my car

Well yes
lives are boring
deaths are boring
I hate stories and empty heads
and wise men
always the same faces

And she wants to go somewhere
where they dance
so that she can dance
and kiss me
when the others don’t see

But my sweetheart
don’t be crazy
it will be one hundred times better
on the backseat of my car

Well yes
cinemas and pubs harass me
sluts harass me, ladies harass me
Everybody is bothering me
I’ve had enough

Te noći kad me stignu potjere,
kurve sudbine
i kada uđem iza ovoga,
kao kod rodbine

Kao zvijezda padalica
ko neki lijepi kaput,
sa dva lica.

Te noći zebsćeš na tvom prozoru,
umornih očiju.
Teško je čekati na vozove
koji tumaraju.

To je teško
A lako je
živjeti i umreti,
pile moje.

Te noći, te noći kad umrem
kada odem, kad me ne bude
Samo će dvije žene da se probude
Jedna je moja mati, ona će plakati
Druga si ti, ti, ti ćeš me kleti

Te noći zebsćeš na tvom prozoru,
umornih očiju.
Teško je čekati na vozove,
koji tumaraju.

To je teško.
A lako je

Te noći, te noći kad umrem,

Jedna je moja mati, ona će plakati

A ti ćeš me kleti

English Translation

That Night, When I Die, When I Leave, When I’m Gone

That night, when destiny bit*h
hunts me down,
and when I get behind this,
like visiting relatives

Like a falling star
like a pretty coat,
with two sides.

That night you’ll be freezing by your window,
with tired eyes.
It’s hard to wait for trains
that roam around.

That’s hard
But it’s easy
to live and die,
my darling.

That night, when I die
when I leave, when I’m gone
Only two women will wake up
One is my mother, she will cry
The other is you, you, you will curse me

That night you’ll be freezing by your window,
with tired eyes.
It’s hard to wait for trains

I nikad se neću vratit’
u svoj rodni grad
Tamo me ne čeka niko
Već odavno su izblijedila sva lica
i već odavno imena im ne znam

Samo ponekad zimi
dok vjetrovi oplakuju dane
sjetim se tebe,
tebe, moja bivša draga
i neke nježnosti davne
nešto mi šapne u srcu i znam
da sam na svijetu sam

I da te ponovo vidim
šta bih ti o sebi mogao reći
osim da sam sreo mnogo ljudi
a da mi prijatelj nije bio nijedan

I da sam bio
i gladan i slavan i veseo i plačan
i bijedan i sjajan
i da me ljubilo, ljubilo mnogo žena
a da nijednu volio nisam

Nešto mi šapne u srcu i znam
da sam na svijetu sam

Moja draga, moja draga
bivsa draga, moja draga
i evo umoran starac sam sad
mada izgledam mlad

Blues For My Ex Darling

And I will never go back
to my hometown
There’s nobody there waiting for me
All the faces have faded long time ago
and I’ve forgotten their names long time ago

Only sometimes in the winter
while winds mourn the days
I remember you,
you, my ex darling
and some olden tenderness
something whispers in my heart and I know
that I’m alone in the world

And if I saw you again
what could I tell you about myself
except that I’ve met a lot of people
but none of them were my friends

And that I’ve been
both hungry and famous and both joyful and tearful
both miserable and brilliant
and that I’ve been kissed, kissed by many women
but none of them I loved

Something whispers in my heart and I know
That I’m alone in the world

My darling, my darling
ex darling, my darling
and here, I’m a tired old man now
even though I look young

Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu?
Da te mrze, a da ti se dive
Šta bi dao?
Šta bi dao za veliku gestu,
Mjesto svoga da tvoj život žive?
Šta bi dao?

Ti, budi srećan sad što si preko puta
I što nas strašni lijet nad provalijom dijeli,
Jer ovo je mojih pet minuta,
A pred tobom stoji – život cijeli.

Šta bi dao da možeš ovako
Dići ruke, a puk da te slijedi?
Šta bi dao?
Da l’ bi i ti u svom srcu plak’o,
Kao što se moje srce ledi?
Da l’ bi i ti?

Ti, budi srećan sad što si preko puta
I što nas strašni lijet nad provalijom dijeli,
Jer ovo je mojih pet minuta,
A pred tobom stoji – život cijeli.

Ti, budi srećan sad što si preko puta
I što nas strašni lijet nad provalijom dijeli,

What Would You Give To Be In My Place

What would you give to be in my place?
If  people would hate you, but admire you
What would you give?
What would you give for the big gesture,
If they’d live your instead of their own life?
What would you give?

You should be happy now that you’re across the road
And that a terrific flight over the abyss separates us,
Because this is my five minutes,
And you’ve got your whole life ahead of you.

What would you give to be able to
Raise your hand and have the masses follow you ?
What would you give?
Would you also, deep in your heart, cry,
Like my heart is freezing?
Would you also?

You should be happy now that you’re across the road
And that a terrific flight over the abyss separates us,
Because this is my five minutes,
And you’ve got your whole life ahead of you.

You should be happy now that you’re across the road

Because this is my five minutes,
And you’ve got your whole life ahead of you…

Ne vjeruj mi nocas
svakog casa nudit cu ti vise
ne vjeruj mi kad gitara svira
i padaju kise iz zlatnih visina
sve je to od loseg vina

Ne ljubi me nocas
bit’ ce suza, stihovi ce teci
ne slusaj me, mala, jer ces cuti
sto ne zelim reci i nije istina
sve je to od loseg vina

Ne gledaj me tako
dok se ludi snovi mnoze
prevarit’ cu sebe, srce nudi vise no sto moze
i sto mu je sudbina
sve je to od loseg vina

Ne vjeruj mi nocas
svakog casa nudit cu ti vise
ne vjeruj mi kad gitara svira

Bad Wine

Don’t trust me tonight
Every moment I will offer more
Don’t trust me when guitar is playing
and the rains are falling from golden heights
It’s all because of bad wine

Don’t kiss me tonight,
There will be tears, verses will flow
Don’t listen to me, baby, because you will hear
things I don’t want to say, and that are not true
It’s all because of bad wine

Don’t look at me like that
while crazy dreams are multiplying
I will trick myself, the heart is offering more than it can afford
and more than it’s destined to
It’s all because of bad wine

Don’t trust me tonight
Every moment I will offer more
Don’t trust me when guitar is playing
and the rains are falling from golden heights
It’s all because of bad wine

Gdje da krenes u ovo strasno doba,
Nemas gdje,
Sama u tom haljetku
Cirkuske jahacice
Milijun rubalja za
Tvoja glatka ramena,
Daj, makar ne varaj ovog
Andjela na dlanu,
Zaboravi, ako mozes
Zaboravi, zaboravi
Ako mozes

Otmjeno izgubljena opklada to ti je
Kao spremljen krevet
Malo tijesan za dvoje,
Kao haljina kada se rasiva,
Evo porodi me kao srna na snijegu,
I zaboravi ako mozes
Zaboravi, zaboravi,
Ako mozes

Gdje da krenes u ovo strasno doba,
Nemas gdje
Tebi svaki krevet ovog svijeta tijesan je
Idi pod laznim imenom,
Idi i putuj sjeverom,
Ili porodi me kao srna na snijegu
I zaboravi

If You Can, Forget

Where can you go at this dreadful time,
You have nowhere to go,
Alone, wearing that
circus horsewoman jacket
A million rubles for
Your velvet shoulders,
Come on, at least don’t cheat on this
Angel on your palm,
Forget, if you can
Forget, forget
If you can

A gallantly lost bet that’s
Like a made bed,
A bit too small for two,
Like a dress that’s being unsewed
Here, deliver me like a roe in the snow,
And forget if you can
Forget, forget
If you can

Where can you go at this dreadful time,
You have nowhere to go
Every bed in this world is too small for you
Go under a false name,
Go and travel across the north,
Or deliver me like a roe in the snow,
And forget
