Predlog

Pile moje, kako stvari stoje, vreme radi za nas.
Baš se mislim, što bi zalud kisli, kad bi mogli ostati kod vas?

Kiša pada, gde bi išli sada?
Crni oblaci iznad grada.
Šta je – tu je, sakrijmo se od oluje.

Srce lupa kao vojni bubanj – to je opasan znak.
Imam krizu i uvek kad ste blizu, pada mi na oči mrkli mrak.

Sad bi, možda, ploča dobro došla,
Neka muzika davno prošla,
šak i Džeger ili neki sličan šmeker.

Otkad vas znam, stare slike mi imaju novi ram,
Otkad vas znam, neke obične stvari mi čudno zvuče.

Bio sam sam, kao niko na svetu, koliko znam.
Bio sam sam, ali sve je to bilo odavno, juče još!

Dame biraju...

Ove noći mi smo mogli poći u restoran il' bar.
Ma gde bili mi bi nešto pili. To je problem, baš u tom je stvar.

Što da krijem, gadan sam kad pijem,
Ja se posvađam pa se bijem,
Zato bolje ostanimo tu nas dvoje.

Otkad vas znam, stare slike mi imaju novi ram,
Otkad vas znam, neke obične stvari mi čudno zvuče.

Bio sam sam, kao niko na svetu, koliko znam.
Bio sam sam, ali sve je to bilo odavno juče još!

Drugar'ce biraju...

Proposal

My darling, the way things are going, time is on our side.
I've really been thinking, why should we be bitter, when we could simply stay here with you?

The rain is falling, where could we possibly go?
Dark clouds above the city.
This is it, let's shelter from the storm.

My heart is pounding like a war drum - that's a dangerous sign.
I have a crisis, and whenever you're around, darkness falls over my eyes.

Perhaps a record would be a welcome relief,
Some music from long ago,
Jagger and the Stones, or some similar prankster.

Since I've known you, old pictures have acquired a new frame,
Since I've known you, some ordinary things sound strange to me.

I was alone, like nobody else in the world, as far as I know.
I was alone, but it was all so long ago, yesterday!

Ladies choose...

Tonight, we could have gone to a restaurant or a bar.
Wherever we went, we would have had a drink. That's the problem, that's the real issue.

I'm not going to hide it, I'm mean when I drink,
I start fights and get into brawls,
So it's better if we just stay here, the two of us.

Since I've known you, old pictures have acquired a new frame,
Since I've known you, some ordinary things sound strange to me.

I was alone, like nobody else in the world, as far as I know.
I was alone, but it was all so long ago, yesterday!

My friends choose...
