Lyrics and translation Djordje Balasevic - Mirka

Mirka

Čuli ste za Zlatni Bokal
To je jedan sumnjiv lokal
Al′ je kuvar pravi as

Sedeo sam sam za stolom
Pio viski s koka kolom
Kada začuh neki glas

Znam vas, pardon, s televizije
Vi ste ponos naše nizije
Moja kči od devet godina
Sve vaše pesme zna, baš svaki stih

Na te reći izvanredne
Ponudih da sa mnom sedne
Čekao je samo to
Reče, hm, ja sam iz orkestra
Ta što peva mi je sestra
Tu smo več mesec i po

Mi vas ne bi maltretirali
Al' bi nešto sad odsvirali
To je jedan šlager lično naš
Želimo čuti vas cenjeni sud

Pa reče

Mirka, ljubavi jedina moja ti
Ko te sada dirka i ko ti
Pod prozore dolazi da ti svirka
Mirka, možda bi i sretno živeli
Samo da si ti našla pravi put
Do mog tužnog srca

Rekoh da ču im pomoći
Kol′ko je u mojoj moči
Ali, ja sam pevać tek
Reče, svi su producenti
Promašeni dirigenti
Niko od njih nema šmek

Mi več godinama sviramo
Al' strašno slabo prosperiramo
Poslušajte još jedanput bar
Ovo je prava stvar, veliki hit

Mirka, ljubavi jedina moja ti
Ko te sada dirka i ko ti
Pod prozore dolazi da ti svirka
Mirka, možda bi i sretno živeli
Samo da si ti našla pravi put
Do mog tužnog srca

Pričali smo posle dugo
O muzici, šta bi drugo
Popili smo oho-ho
Ja od tada slabo radim
Stvarno, nije da se vadim
Al' je razlog tačno to

Ta mi se interpretacija
Javlja k′o halucinacija
Proganja me, muči, vraća se
Uvek, k′o bumerang
Taj smešni, divni refren

Mirka, ljubavi jedina moja ti
Ko te sada dirka i ko ti
Pod prozore dolazi da ti svirka
Mirka, možda bi i sretno živeli
Samo da si ti našla pravi put
Do mog tužnog srca

Mirka, ljubavi jedina moja ti
Ko te sada dirka i ko ti
Pod prozore dolazi da ti svirka
Mirka, možda bi i sretno živeli
Samo da si ti našla pravi put
Do mog tužnog srca

O, mila moja
Mirka, ljubavi jedina moja ti
Ko te sada dirka i ko ti
Pod prozore dolazi da ti svirka
Mirka, možda bi i sretno živeli
Samo da si ti našla pravi put

Mirka

Have you heard of Zlatni Bokal?
It's a questionable bar, local
But the chef is a true ace

I sat alone at the table
Drinking whiskey with Coca-Cola
When I heard a voice

I know you, pardon me, from television
You are the pride of our lowlands
My nine-year-old daughter
Knows all your songs, every verse

To these extraordinary words
I offered for her to sit with me
That's all she had been waiting for
She said, um, I'm from the orchestra
The one that sings is my sister
We've been here for over a month

We wouldn't pester you
But we'd like to play something now
It's a personal hit song of ours
We'd like to hear your esteemed opinion

So she said

Mirka, my one and only love
Who's chasing you now, and who
Comes under your window to play for you
Mirka, maybe we could live happily
Only if you find the right way
To my sad heart

I said I'd help them
As much as I was able
But I'm just a singer
She said, all producers
Are failed conductors
None of them have the magic touch

We've been playing for years
But we've had very poor success
Listen to this one more time at least
This is the real thing, a huge hit

Mirka, my one and only love
Who's chasing you now, and who
Comes under your window to play for you
Mirka, maybe we could live happily
Only if you find the right way
To my sad heart

We talked for a long time afterward
About music, what else
We had a few drinks
I haven't been working much since then
Really, I'm not making excuses
But that's exactly the reason

That interpretation of hers
Appears to me like a hallucination
It haunts me, tortures me, comes back
Always, like a boomerang
That funny, wonderful refrain

Mirka, my one and only love
Who's chasing you now, and who
Comes under your window to play for you
Mirka, maybe we could live happily
Only if you find the right way
To my sad heart

Mirka, my one and only love
Who's chasing you now, and who
Comes under your window to play for you
Mirka, maybe we could live happily
Only if you find the right way
To my sad heart

Oh, my darling
Mirka, my one and only love
Who's chasing you now, and who
Comes under your window to play for you
Mirka, maybe we could live happily
Only if you find the right way
