Samo Da Rata Ne Bude - Đorđe Balašević Übersetzung ins Englische

Samo Da Rata Ne Bude

Pijani momci prolaze du' nae tihe ulice,
Oni u vojsku polaze, prate ih tu'ne curice,
Brinu ih slutnje sulude - da rata ne bude!

Ne mogu da me ne sete suze na vrh tvog nosiæa
Devetsto-osamdesete, ulice Brane Æosiæa
I voza crnog k'o da s njim zauvek odlazim.

Zna ta, neka mora sve potope,
Nek se gleèeri rasture, veèni snegovi otope.
Pa ta, neka kie ne prestaju,
Neka gromovi polude, samo rata da ne bude!

Zna ta, nek se doba preokrenu,
Nek se zvezde uznemire, nek se planine pokrenu.
Pa ta, vetri nek pomahnitaju,
Nek se vulkani probude, samo rata da ne bude!

K'o zlatni prah, oreol sna, oko malenih glavica
I tvoja ljubav nad njima èuva ih kao lavica.
Loe te vesti uzbude - da rata ne bude!

Zna ta, neka mora sve potope,
Nek se gleèeri razvale, veèni snegovi otope.
Pa ta, kie neka ne prestaju,
Neka gromovi polude, samo rata da ne bude!

Zna ta, nek se doba preokrenu,
Nek se zvezde uznemire, nek se planine pokrenu.
Pa ta, vetri nek pomahnitaju,
Nek se vulkani probude, samo rata da ne bude!

Samo da rata ne bude, ludila medju ljudima,
Veliki nude zablude, plae nas raznim èudima
I svakoj bajci naude - da rata ne bude!

Samo da rata ne bude, ludila medju ljudima,
Veliki nude zablude, plae nas raznim èudima
I svakoj bajci naude - da rata ne bude!

May There Be No War

Drunken lads are walking down our quiet streets,
They will soon be soldiers, girls are seeing them off,
They fear some crazy premonitions - that there will be a war!

I cannot help but remember the tears on the tip of your nose
Nineteen eighty, the streets of Brane Đosić
And that black car as if I am leaving with it forever.

So let it be, let the seas flood everything,
Let the glaciers crumble, let the eternal snows melt.
So let it be, let the rains never cease,
Let the thunders go mad, just let there be no war!

So let it be, let the eras turn around,
Let the stars get restless, let the mountains rise.
So let it be, let the winds go wild,
Let the volcanoes awaken, just let there be no war!

Like golden dust, the halo of dreams, around the little heads
And your love above them protecting them like a lioness.
Let the good news excite you - let there be no war!

So let it be, let the seas flood everything,
Let the glaciers crumble, let the eternal snows melt.
So let it be, let the rains never cease,
Let the thunders go mad, just let there be no war!

So let it be, let the eras turn around,
Let the stars get restless, let the mountains rise.
So let it be, let the winds go wild,
Let the volcanoes awaken, just let there be no war!

Just let there be no war, madness among people,
The great offer deceptions, scare us with different miracles
And make every fairy tale promise - let there be no war!
