Lyrics and translation Zabranjeno Pusenje - Vrijeme igrača

Vrijeme igrača

Tako, zemljaci, sviram vođe vama
Sve snima televizija, produkcija je bajna
Ali nije vazda bilo tako, rode
Pamtim ja vremena i ne tako sjajna

Na plaži svirka, bilo je i boljih dana
U sakoima mi priđu neka dva jarana
Bi li mogli tvoju pažnju malo dobit
Ima za te prijedlog koji prosto nećeš odbit

Šta će ti, bolan, ove klošarske brije
Nije ti više dvadeset i dvije
Pa da se skućiš, zar ne bi đecu k'o Brega
Prešiš'o te je skoro svaki estradni kolega

I k'o što ono onomad Čorba reče
Pa da vidim sada onu koja tebe neće
Svirki je dva'est, sve za "zna se" stranku
Dadneš guze na po' sata pa pravo u banku

Vrijeme je igrača, zar još nisi skužio
Ne cijeniš li život, nisi ga ni zaslužio

I još tu i tamo par emisija
U prajm tajmu će se trebati održat
Kako su te tamo trale komšije
I to samo zato što si rek'o da si Hrvat

I kako sad si sretan u novoj domaji
Da pricjednik još jedini za te i tak'e mari
I da ti je tek sada srce stvarno puno
A za Ahmiće reci da nikad nisi čujo

Vrijeme je igrača, zar još nisi skužio
Ne cijeniš li život, nisi ga ni zaslužio
Vrijeme je igrača, zar još nisi skužio
Ne cijeniš li život, nisi ga ni zaslužio

Tako, zemljaci, sviram vođe među vama
Sve prati televizija, produkcija je sjajna
Načelnik me čeka, janje je iz Like
U Jutarnjem će sutra izać' taze moje slike

Zato, jaro, u životu kad ti loše krene
Kada grohneš kao kauč, kauč Made in Poland
Dobri ljudi kad ti priđu, provjeri im ime
Da se slučajno ne zovu Azazell il' Woland

Vrijeme je igrača, zar još nisi skužio
Ne cijeniš li život, nisi ga ni zaslužio
Vrijeme je igrača, zar još nisi skužio
Ne cijeniš li život, nisi ga ni zaslužio
Vrijeme je igrača, zar još nisi skužio
Ne cijeniš li život, nisi ga ni zaslužio
Vrijeme je igrača, zar još nisi skužio

Players' Time

So, my countrymen, I play the leader for you
Everything's filmed for TV, the production is fantastic
But it wasn't always like this, darling
I remember times not so glamorous

Gig on the beach, there have been better days
Two buddies approach me in their suits
Could we have your attention for a moment
We have a proposition you simply can't refuse

What do you need these bum gigs for, man
You're not twenty-two anymore
Settle down, wouldn't you want kids like Brega
Almost every pop star colleague has surpassed you

And like Čorba said back then
Let's see who wouldn't want you now
Twenty gigs, all for the "you know who" party
Give it up for half an hour, then straight to the bank

It's players' time, haven't you figured it out yet
If you don't value life, you don't deserve it

And a couple of TV shows here and there
In prime time, you know, gotta keep up appearances
How those neighbours over there harassed you, honey
Just because you said you were a Croat

And how happy you are now in your new homeland
That the president still cares only for you and your kind
And that your heart is truly full now
And about Ahmići, say you've never heard of it

It's players' time, haven't you figured it out yet
If you don't value life, you don't deserve it
It's players' time, haven't you figured it out yet
If you don't value life, you don't deserve it

So, my countrymen, I play the leader among you
Everything's followed by TV, the production is brilliant
The mayor is waiting for me, the lamb is from Lika
My fresh pictures will be in Jutarnji tomorrow

So, buddy, when life gets tough
When you groan like a couch, a couch Made in Poland
When good people approach you, check their names, dear
Make sure they're not called Azazel or Woland

It's players' time, haven't you figured it out yet
If you don't value life, you don't deserve it
It's players' time, haven't you figured it out yet
If you don't value life, you don't deserve it
It's players' time, haven't you figured it out yet
If you don't value life, you don't deserve it
It's players' time, haven't you figured it out yet
