Lyrics and translation Adi Lukovac & Ornamenti - Intro

Intro

Toga jutra sam stigao putnickom klasom
Pa kuci sa stanice casom
Kroz baste i precice znane
A u vojsci sam stekao druga do groba
I hronicnu upalu zgloba
Suvenir na strazarske dane

Usao sam na prstima
Mati bese vec budna
I brzo se prekrstila
Rece, proslo je ko za cas
Bas si stigao dobro
Jer svatovi su tu do nas
Pa ce ti svirati, a ti ces birati

Svadba bese ko svadba
I sta da se prica
Parada pijanstva i kica
I poznata cura u belom
Vec po redu pozeleh im zdravlja i srece
Iz ruku mi otela cvece
I sakrila pogled pod velom

Tad me spazise cigani
Kum je trazio pesmu
Al' ja sam stig'o, briga njih
Sirok osmeh i zlatan zub
Znam da nije ti lako
Al' danas nemoj biti grub
Nego zapovedi sta cemo svirati

Ref.
Svirajte mi jesen stize, dunjo moja
Jesen rana, nek zazvone tambure u transu
Znam da nije pesma ova
Za veselje i svatovac
Al' ja moram cuti tu romansu

Svirajte mi jesen stize, dunjo moja
Al' polako da mi ne bi koja rec promakla
Sklon'te case i bokale
Razbio bih svet od sale
Da je samo slucajno od stakla, dunjo moja

Retko odlazim kuci, a pisem jos redje
I slike su bledje i bledje
Pa lepe potiskuju ruzne
Al' nekad porucim pice
I tako to krene
Pa stignem u svatove njene
Sve prave su ljubavi tuzne

Nikom ne pricam o tome
Brzo dodje taj talas
I znam da cu da potonem
Spas mi donose cigani, oni imaju srce
Za svakog od nas, briga njih
Oni me pitaju sta da sviraju

Intro

That morning I arrived in economy class
Then home from the station on time
Through known gardens and shortcuts
And in the army I acquired a friend for life
And chronic arthritis
A souvenir from my days as a guard

I crept in
Mother was already awake
And quickly made the sign of the cross
She said, how time flies
You arrived just in time
Because the wedding guests are right here
So they'll play for you, and you'll choose

The wedding was like a wedding
And what's there to say
A parade of drunkenness and ostentation
And the familiar girl in white
I wished them health and happiness in turn
She stole the flower from my hands
And hid her gaze under her veil

Then the gypsies spotted me
The best man requested a song
But I've arrived, what do they care
Broad smile and gold tooth
I know it's not easy for you
But don't be rude today
Instead, tell us what we'll play

Ref.
Play Autumn Is Coming, my pumpkin
Early autumn, let the tambourines ring in a trance
I know it's not the right song
For joy and wedding guests
But I need to hear that ballad

Play Autumn Is Coming, my pumpkin
But slowly, so I don't miss a word
Move the houses and jars
I would smash the world to pieces in this hall
If only it were made of glass, my pumpkin

I rarely go home, and I write even less often
And the pictures are paler and paler
So the beautiful ones push out the ugly ones
But sometimes I order pizza
And so it begins
So I end up at her wedding
All true love is sad

I don't talk to anyone about it
That wave comes so quickly
And I know I'll sink
The gypsies offer me salvation, they have hearts
For each of us, what do they care
They ask me what to play
