Lyrics and translation Oliver Dragojević - Oprosti Mi Pape

Oprosti Mi Pape

Rekli su mi najgore o tebi
Nisu nikad pričali o sebi
Rekli su mi ono ča su tili
Virova san, stariji su bili
Rekli su mi ono ča su tili
Virova san, stariji su bili

Rekli su mi da si svugdi bija
Rekli su mi da si puno pija
Rekli su mi ono ča su znali
Virova san jer san bija mali
Rekli su mi ono ča su znali
Virova san jer san bija mali

Oprosti mi, pape
Sve te grube riči
I moj život sada
Na tvoj život sliči
Oprosti mi, pape
Sad razumin tebe
Gledan tvoju sliku
Gledajući sebe

Rekli su mi da si ženske jubi
Na kartama da si šolde gubi
Rekli su mi ono ča su znali
Virova san jer san bija mali
Rekli su mi ono ča su znali
Virova san jer san bija mali

Rekli su mi da si 'sova Boga
Rekli su mi prikoviše toga
Rekli su mi ono ča su znali
Virova san jer san bija mali
Rekli su mi ono ča su znali
Virova san jer san bija mali

Oprosti mi, pape
Sve te grube riči
I moj život sada
Na tvoj život sliči

Oprosti mi, pape
Ča san druge sluša
Ja san, pape, isti
Jer san život kuša

(Oprosti mi, pape)
(Oprosti mi, pape)

Forgive Me, Dad

They told me the worst about you
They never talked about themselves
They said what they wanted
I believed them, I was young
They said what they wanted
I believed them, I was young

They told me that you were everywhere
They told me that you drank a lot
They said what they knew
I believed them because I was little
They said what they knew
I believed them because I was little

Forgive me, Dad
All those harsh words
And my life now
Looks like your life
Forgive me, Dad
Now I understand you
I look at your picture
Looking at myself

They told me that you kissed women
That you lost money in cards
They said what they knew
I believed them because I was little
They said what they knew
I believed them because I was little

They told me that you were 'God's owl'
They told me that they nailed you down
They said what they knew
I believed them because I was little
They said what they knew
I believed them because I was little

Forgive me, Dad
All those harsh words
And my life now
Looks like your life

Forgive me, Dad
For listening to others
I'm the same as you, Dad
For I am experiencing life

(Forgive me, Dad)
(Forgive me, Dad)
