Paroles et traduction Djordje Balasevic - Ne Lomite Mi Bagrenje

Ne Lomite Mi Bagrenje

Verujem, cenjeni sude, da dobro poznaješ ljude,
Vi barem imate posla jer ćud je ćud a sud je sud.
Verujem, cenjena glavo, da si i učio pravo,
Da svakom sudiš pošteno jer čast je čast a vlast je vlast.

I sve po zakonu, za to sam prvi,
Ne bi bilo ove krvi da je bilo sve po zakonu!

Vlast je vlast,
I ja to poštujem, tu su paragrafi pa zagrabi
Nek isto je i đavolu i đakonu,
Pa nek se zna!

Nek' su mi gazili njivom, mojom se sladili šljivom,
Uvek je lopova bilo jer ćuk je ćuk i vuk je vuk.
Nikada zlotvora dosta, suša mi uništi bostan
I led se prospe pred žetvu, al' led je led a red je red!

I prekardašilo, im'o sam bagremovu šumu
Tamo dole prema drumu pa sam čekao.

Red je red!
Polako komšije! Ne može samo da se uđe,
Da se ruši tuđe, lepo sam im rekao.

Ne lomite mi bagrenje,
Bez njih će me vetrovi oduvati.
Pustite ih, moraju mi čuvati
Jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati:
Ne lomite mi bagrenje, pod njima sam je ljubio,
Bosonogu i odbeglu od sna.

Ljudi smo, cenjeni sude, pa neka bude šta bude,
žao mi marama crnih, al' plač je plač a mač je mač.
Ne pitaj šta bi sad bilo kad bi se ponovo zbilo,
Ne pitaj da li se kajem, jer jed je jed a red je red!

I sve po zakonu, tu su paragrafi pa zagrabi
Pošteno i za veru i za neveru.

Red je red!
Sve ja to poštujem jer više bilo bi ubica
Nego ptica koje odleću ka severu.

Ne lomite mi bagrenje,
Bez njih će me vetrovi oduvati.
Pustite ih, moraju mi čuvati
Jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati:

Ne lomite mi bagrenje, pod njima sam je ljubio.
O, zar moram da vam ponovim?
Okanite se njih jer sve ću da vas polomim!

Please Do Not Break My Acacia

I believe, esteemed judge, that you know people well,
At least you have a job because nature is nature and court is court.
I believe, esteemed head, that you have also studied law,
That you judge everyone fairly because honor is honor and power is power.

And all according to the law, for that I am the first,
There would not have been this bloodshed if everything had been according to the law!

Power is power,
And I respect that, here are the paragraphs so seize
Let it be the same for the devil and the deacon,
So let it be known!

Let them trample my field, they sweetened themselves with my plum,
There have always been thieves because a thief is a thief and a wolf is a wolf.
There are never enough villains, drought destroys my squash
And hail pours down before the harvest, but hail is hail and order is order!

And cheated on me, I had an acacia grove
Down there towards the road and I waited.

Order is order!
Slowly neighbors! You cannot just enter,
To destroy what is not yours, I told them nicely.

Please do not break my acacia,
Without them, the winds will blow me away.
Let them be, they must guard for me
A secret as golden as ducats:
Please do not break my acacia, I made love to her beneath them,
Barefoot and escaped from dreams.

We are people, esteemed judge, so let whatever happens happen,
I feel sorry for the black kerchiefs, but crying is crying and a sword is a sword.
Do not ask what would happen now if it happened again,
Do not ask if I regret, for poison is poison and order is order!

And all according to the law, here are the paragraphs so seize
Fairly and for faith and for non-faith.

Order is order!
I respect all that because there would be more murderers
Than birds flying north.

Please do not break my acacia,
Without them, the winds will blow me away.
Let them be, they must guard for me
A secret as golden as ducats:

Please do not break my acacia, I made love to her beneath them.
Oh, must I repeat it to you?
Leave them alone because I will break all of you!
