Paroles et traduction Djordje Balasevic - Lakonoga

Lakonoga

Jedva da se sećam dvanaest zvončića na njenoj bluzici
Sam je crni đavo poturio note muzici
Vrtela prstić oko dugmeta
Starija je sestra bdila kao ukleta
Obećale, kući da će doći i pre ponoći

Jedva da se sećam prvih pet-šest slova njenog imena
Mesec nešto flekav, ko stara trumpeta limena
Vitlao Božić jata zvezdana
Mrznuo je Dunav nizvodno od Bezdana
A u našem kraju, lepih seka iznad proseka

I baš lakonoga za drugoga zaručena
A za mene naručena kod Boga
Moja lepotuška, nedopijen gutljaj vina
Dah karmina na krajičku opuška
Ko reči par u spomenar

Jedva da se sećam da je ribnjak bio srmom okovan
Tad i nikad više miriso je sneg na jorgovan
O, mati joj njena skrila papuče
Od mraza ringlov pred kućom napuče
U ocove čizme pa do čarde preko verande

Moja lakonoga, za drugoga zaručena
A za mene naručena kod Boga
Moja lepotuška, nedopijen gutljaj vina
Dah karmina na krajičku opuška
I teški lom u srcu mom

Ajmo deco

Moja lakonoga, za drugoga zaručena
A za mene naručena kod Boga
Moja lepotuška, nedopijen gutljaj vina
Dah karmina na krajičku opuška
Ko reči par u spomenar

Moja lakonoga, za drugoga zaručena
A za mene naručena kod Boga
Moja lepotuška, nedopijen gutljaj vina
Dah karmina na krajičku opuška
I teški lom u srcu mom

Lakonoga

I can barely remember the twelve little bells on your blouse
The black devil himself pushed the notes into the music
You twirled your finger around the button
Your older sister watched like a ghost
You both promised you'd be home before midnight

I can barely remember the first five or six letters of your name
The moon was mottled, like an old tin trumpet
Christmas flickered with a flock of stars
The Danube froze downstream from Bezdan
And in our village, beautiful girls above average

And you, so light on your feet, were engaged to another
But destined for me by God
My beauty, an unfinished sip of wine
The scent of lipstick on the end of a cigarette
Like a couple of words in a diary

I can barely remember that the pond was chained with frost
Then, and never again, the snow smelled like lilac
Oh, your mother hid your slippers
From the frost, the ringlov in front of the house swelled
Into your father's boots, and then to the tavern across the veranda

My light-footed one, engaged to another
But destined for me by God
My beauty, an unfinished sip of wine
The scent of lipstick on the end of a cigarette
And a heavy ache in my heart

Come on kids

My light-footed one, engaged to another
But destined for me by God
My beauty, an unfinished sip of wine
The scent of lipstick on the end of a cigarette
Like a couple of words in a diary

My light-footed one, engaged to another
But destined for me by God
My beauty, an unfinished sip of wine
The scent of lipstick on the end of a cigarette
And a heavy ache in my heart
