London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don’t look at us
All that phoney beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain’t got no swing
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

The Ice Age is coming, the Sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an’ go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don’t wanna shout
But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain’t got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won’t you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a like

Prevod pesme

London zove

London daleke gradove zove
Rat je objavljen – šire se borbe
London zove potlačene
Izađite iz skrovišta, momci I devojke
London zove, ne čekajte nas
Za tu fol-bitlmaniju ne postoji spas
London zove, nismo raskalašni
Osim kad za prsten njenog žezla treba dati

Ledeno doba na vratima, Sunce sve je bliže
Mašine staju, pšenica se ne diže
Nuklearni kvar, ali nemam strah
London se davi –  kraj reke mi stan

London zove folirante
Zaboravi ih, produži sam, brate
London zove zombije
Ne opirite se , nego udahnite
London zove – neću vikati
Kada smo mi pričali – glavom ste odmahivali
London zove, ne letimo često, ne
Osim od onog što ima oči žućkaste

Pazi sad ovo
London je zvao, odazvah se I ja
A šta su mi rekli? Pa, ponešto je istina!
London zove najviše brojeve
Nakon svega, može li bar osmeh za mene?

Nikad kao tad nisam osećao
Gde sam pripadao

Sing, Michael, sing
On the route of the nineteen bus
Hear them sayin’
How you get a rude and a reckless?
Don’t you be so crude and a feckless
You been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can’t fail

So we reply
I know that my life make you nervous
But I tell you that I can’t live in service
Like the doctor who was born for a purpose
Rudie can’t fail

I went to the market to realize my soul
‘Cause what I need I just don’t have
First they curse, then they press me till I hurt
We say Rudie can’t fail

We hear them sayin’
Now first you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in the paper
You need someone for a savior
Oh, Rudie can’t fail

We reply
Now we get a rude and a reckless
We been seen lookin’ cool an’ a speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast
So Rudie can’t fail

Okay!
So where you want to go today?
Hey boss man!
You’re looking pretty smart
In your chicken skin suit

You think you’re pretty hot
In your pork pie hat
But…Rudie can’t fail
Look out, look out…
Sky juice!…ten cents a bottle!

Prevod pesme

Grubi(jan) ne može da ne uspe

Pevaj Majkle, pevaj
Na liniji busa 19
Čuj kako govore
Kako si postao tako neučtiv i nesmotren?
Ne budi tako prost i nemaran
Pio si pivo za doručak
Grubi ne može da omaši

I tako mi odgovaramo
Ja znam da vas moj život čini nervoznima
Ali kažem vam da ja ne mogu da živim sa punim radnim vremenom
Kao doktor koji je rođen sa svrhom
Grubi ne može da omaši

Bio sam na pijaci da svoju dušu unovčim
Jer ono što mi treba ja jednostavno nemam
Prvo psuju a onda me pritiskaju dok ne zaboli
Mi kažemo – Grubi ne može da omaši

Čujemo ih kako govore
Sad se prvo moraš smiriti
Pa naći posao u novinama
Treba ti neko da bude tvoj spasilac
Oh, Grubi ne može da ne uspe

Mi odgovaramo
Sad postajemo grubi i nesmotreni
Viđeni smo pribrani i bezgrešni
Pili smo pivo za doručak
Tako da Grubi ne može da omaši

Važi!
I gde biste danas da idete?
Hej šefe!
Izgledaš vrlo poslovno
U tom crnim odelu

Misliš da si neka faca
S tim šeširićem
Ali…Grubi ne može da omaši
Pazi, pazi…
Nebeski sok!…deset centi boca!

Prevod na srpski

London zove

London zove daleke gradove
Sad je objavljen rat, bitka se odvija
London zove podzemlje
Prestanite se sakrivati, vi, dečaci i devojčice
London zove, sad, nemojte u nas gledati
Došao je kraj lažnom ludilu za Bitlsima
London zove, vidite, vidite nemamo ritma
Sem zvonjave tog pendreka

Dolazi ledeno doba, sunce se približava
Očekuje se topljenje jezgra nuklearnog reaktora, pšenica raste tanja
Mašine prestaju da rade, ali ja nemam straha
Jer London se utapa, a ja živim pored reke

London zove zonu imitacija
Zaboravi, brate, možeš ti i sam
London zove zombije smrti
Prestani pružati otpor i udahni još jednom
London zove, i ja ne želim da vičem
Ali dok smo razgovarali, video sam kako ste zadremali
London zove, vidiš, nemamo vođstvo
Sem onog sa žućkastim očima

Dolazi ledeno doba, sunce se približava
Očekuje se topljenje jezgra nuklearnog reaktora, pšenica raste tanja
Mašine prestaju da rade, ali ja nemam straha
Jer London se utapa, a ja živim pored reke

Dolazi ledeno doba, sunce se približava
Očekuje se topljenje jezgra nuklearnog reaktora, pšenica raste tanja
Mašine prestaju da rade, ali ja nemam straha
Jer London se utapa, a ja živim pored reke

Pazi sad ovo

London zove, da, i ja sam bio tamo
I znate šta su rekli? Ma, nešto od toga bila je istina!
London zove sa najjače stanice
Posle svega ovoga, hoćete li mi se nasmešiti?
London zove

Nikad se nisam osećao tako, tako, tako

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that rāga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin’ to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a’ cruisnin’ down the ville
The muezzin was a’ standing
On the radiator grille

Chorus
The Sharīf don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The Sharīf don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the Sharīf
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

Chorus

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack ’em in
The in crowd say it’s cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

Chorus

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the Sharīf was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the Sharīf was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

Chorus

He thinks it’s not kosher
Fundamentally he can’t take it.
You know he really hates it.

Prevod na srpski

Ljulja se Kazbah

Kralj reče babarogama
Morate skratiti tu pesmu
Pustinjom je nafta
Do vrhova kuljala
Šeik je svoj kadilak vozio
Gradom je krstario
Mujezin je stajao
Na hladnjaku

Refren
Šerifu se ne sviđa
Što se Kazbah ljulja
Kazbah ljulja
Šerifu se ne sviđa
Što se Kazbah ljulja
Kazbah ljulja

Naredbom proroka
Zabranjujemo taj avetinjski zvuk
Degeneriše vernike
Taj ludi Kazbah zvuk
Ali beduini su izvukli
Električni kamilji bubanj
Lokalni gitarista
Uzeo je svoju trzalicu za gitaru
Čim je šerif
Otišao s trga
Počeli su da zavijaju

Refren

Sada tamo u hramu
Oh! Oni stvarno pune dvoranu
Elita kaže da je cool
Uživati u tom pojanju
Ali kako je vetar pravac promenio
Bend iz hrama pauzu napravio
Masa je osetila
Taj ludi džajv

Refren

Kralj je sazvao svoje borbene mlaznjake
Rekao je: bolje bi vam bilo da svoje plate zaradite
Bacite bombe između minareta
U pravcu Kazbaha

Čim je šerifa
Šofer odatle odvezao
Piloti mlaznjaka pojačaše
Radio u kabini do daske

Čim im se šerif
Skinuo s vrata
Piloti aviona počeli su da zavijaju

Refren

On smatra da nije košer
Fundamentalno, on to ne može da podnese.
Znaš, on to stvarno mrzi.
