Lyrics and translation Zabranjeno Pusenje - Balada o Gigi Bosnicu

Balada o Gigi Bosnicu

KK Koševo je bila ekipa solidna
Boro, Skeli, Cuba, Trile
U dušu svak se zna,
Al drmala je tom fildžan ligom
Zbog legendarnog kapitena Gige Bosnića
Bilo je to zlatno doba našeg basketa
Rusi poslaše u Sibir pet-šest trenera
A mi se kladili jesu l rolinzi
Bolji kod Gige il kod Delibašića
23-eg maja protiv KK "Alhosa"
Došli da ga vide ljudi malo važniji
Al Gigo je svu noć sa rajom ružio
Toga dana nije bio najprecizniji
I tako malo rada, a puno talenta
Malo povrede, a malo "Vecchia"
Tek jednog dana Gigo Bosnić zakuca
Na vrata zaboravljenih asova
Tih dana mu se u glavi desi neki kvar
Priča o politici, za nacionalnu stvar
Zavrće ture na šanku, kažu radi za stranku
Procenat ispod 31, išo je na Gazimestan
I tako malo rada, a puno talenta
Malo povrede, a malo "Vecchia"
Tek osvanu Gigo tog aprila kraj haubice
Konačno je imao cijeli grad ispod sebe
Za sve dosuđene korake
Za sve sudijske nepravde
Za sve promašene zicere
Za sve što ga nisu voljele
Za Kosevo, za Vratnik, Maltu
Za čitav svijet
Gigo Bosnić puni sad
Kalibar 155
U rovu u mraku, kraj terena "Koševa"
Izgorile su table, pala je konstrukcija
Al samo jednu stvar bi još da upitam:
Bi li priča ta bila drugačija
Da je ušla ona trica protiv KK "Alhosa"?
I tako malo rada, a puno talenta
Malo povrede, a malo "Vecchia"
(Glas komentatora)
"...2 minuta i 3 sekunde do kraja utakmice!
11 poena prednosti za Bosnu!
Među navijačima na tribinama već je počelo slavlje.
U pojedinim trenucima čula se i pjesma Bosno moja
Pa slobodno mogu da kažem da je i njihova igra
Ličila na jednu divnu bosansku sevdalinku.
Pogodak Delibašića! Bosna je sve to prebrodila!
Postigla je pobjedu!"

Ballad of Gigi Bosnic

KK Koševo was a solid team
Boro, Skeli, Cuba, Trile
Everyone knew it in their hearts,
But the league was shaken by that cup
Because of the legendary captain Gigo Bosnic
It was the golden age of our basketball
The Russians sent five or six coaches to Siberia
And we bet whether the Rolling Stones
Were better with Gigo or with Delibašić
On May 23rd, against KK "Alhos"
More important people came to see him
But Gigo spent the whole night partying with the gang
He wasn't the most accurate that day
So little work, but so much talent
Few injuries, but a lot of "Vecchia"
One day Gigo Bosnic dunks
On the doors of forgotten aces
Around that time, something went wrong in his head
Stories of politics, for the national cause
He's turning shots at the bar, they say he's working for a party
Percentage below 31, he went to Gazimestan
So little work, but so much talent
Few injuries, but a lot of "Vecchia"
Then one April morning, Gigo appeared by the cannon
Finally, he had the whole city under him
For all the unfair steps
For all the referee's injustices
For all the missed layups
For all those who didn't love him
For Kosevo, for Vratnik, Malta
For the whole world
Gigo Bosnic is now full
Caliber 155
In a trench in the dark, by the "Koševo" field
The boards burned, the construction collapsed
But there's only one thing I want to ask:
Would that story have been different
If that three-pointer against KK "Alhos" had gone in?
So little work, but so much talent
Few injuries, but a lot of "Vecchia"
(Voice of the commentator)
"...2 minutes and 3 seconds left in the game!
11 point lead for Bosnia!
There's already a celebration among the fans in the stands.
In some moments, we could even hear the song "Bosno moja"
So I can freely say that their game
Resembled a beautiful Bosnian love song.
Delibašić scores! Bosnia has overcome everything!
They won the victory!"
