Lyrics and translation Mladen Grdovic - Bolje živim nego ministar

Bolje živim nego ministar

Leti vrime, idu dani
Sve je isto ka i lani
Žena kući, a ja vani
Penzija mi u kavani
Bez brige mi idu dani
Žena kući, a ja vani
Penzija mi u kavani
Bez brige mi idu dani

Živim, živim, a ničega nemam
Pijem, pušim, loše mi se sprema
Ni me briga, nek' sam zdrav
Neću biti bogat star
Bolje živim nego ministar
Ni me briga, nek' sam zdrav
Iako sam podstanar
Bolje živim nego ministar
Hej

U tri sata ja se budim
Od pijanstva glava ludi
Život teče ka i rijeka
A za mene nema lijeka
Bećar sam od pamtivijeka
Život teče ka i rijeka
A za mene nema lijeka
Bećar sam od pamtivijeka

Živim, živim, a ničega nemam
Pijem, pušim, loše mi se sprema
Ni me briga, nek' sam zdrav
Neću biti bogat star
Bolje živim nego ministar
Ni me briga, nek' sam zdrav
Iako sam podstanar
Bolje živim nego ministar
Hej

Od života ništa nemam
Vanzemaljac nešto sprema
Cile mille non piu mille
Godine su proletile
Žene su me ostarile
Cile mille non piu mille
Godine su proletile
Žene su me ostarile

Živim, živim, a ničega nemam
Pijem, pušim, loše mi se sprema
Ni me briga, nek' sam zdrav
Neću biti bogat star
Bolje živim nego ministar
Ni me briga, nek' sam zdrav
Iako sam podstanar
Bolje živim nego ministar

Bilje živim, bolje živim
Bolje živim nego ministar
Hej

I Live Better Than a Minister

Time flies, days go by
Everything's the same as last year
Wife's at home, and I'm out
My pension's spent in the cafe
My days go by without a worry
Wife's at home, and I'm out
My pension's spent in the cafe
My days go by without a worry

I live, I live, but I have nothing
I drink, I smoke, things are looking bad for me
I don't care, as long as I'm healthy
I won't be rich when I'm old
I live better than a minister, darling
I don't care, as long as I'm healthy
Even though I'm a tenant
I live better than a minister, sweetheart
Hey

At three o'clock I wake up
My head's spinning from the booze
Life flows like a river
And there's no cure for me
I've been a bachelor since time immemorial
Life flows like a river
And there's no cure for me
I've been a bachelor since time immemorial

I live, I live, but I have nothing
I drink, I smoke, things are looking bad for me
I don't care, as long as I'm healthy
I won't be rich when I'm old
I live better than a minister, honey
I don't care, as long as I'm healthy
Even though I'm a tenant
I live better than a minister, my love
Hey

I have nothing from life
An alien is up to something
Cile mille non piu mille
The years have flown by
Women have aged me
Cile mille non piu mille
The years have flown by
Women have aged me

I live, I live, but I have nothing
I drink, I smoke, things are looking bad for me
I don't care, as long as I'm healthy
I won't be rich when I'm old
I live better than a minister, dear
I don't care, as long as I'm healthy
Even though I'm a tenant
I live better than a minister, babe

I live better, I live better
I live better than a minister
Hey
