Paroles et traduction Djordje Balasevic - Otilia

Otilia

Jedva da se secam
Dvanaest zvoncica na njenoj bluzici
Sam je crni djavo poturio note muzici
Vrtela prstic oko dugmeta
Starija joj sestra bila kao ukleta
Obecale kuci da ce doci i pre ponoci

Jedva da se secam
Prvih pet-sest slova njenog imena
Mesec nesto flekav, k'o stara trumpeta limena
Vitlao Bozic jata zvezdana
Mrznuo je Dunav nizvodno od Bezdana
A u nasem kraju, lepih seka iznad proseka

Ref.
I bas lakonoga, za drugoga zarucena
A za mene narucena kod Boga
Moja lepotuska, nedopijen gutljaj vina
Dah karmina na krajicku opuska

Ko reci par u spomenar

Jedva da se secam
Da je ribnjak bio srmom okovan
Tad i nikad vise miris'o je sneg na jorgovan
O, mati joj njena skrila papuce
Od mraza ringlov pred kucom napuce
U ocove cizme pa do carde preko verande

Ref.

I teski lom u srcu mom

'Ajmo deco

Otilia

I barely remember
Twelve bells on your blouse
The black devil himself put the notes to the music
You twirled your finger around the button
Your older sister was like she was cursed
You promised to come home before midnight

I barely remember
The first five or six letters of your name
The moon was a little spotted, like an old tin trumpet
The Christmas star flocks flapped
The Danube froze downstream from Bezdan
And in our area, beautiful girls above average

Ref.
And so easygoing, engaged to another
But ordered for me by God
My beauty, an unfinished sip of wine
The breath of lipstick on the edge of a cigarette

Like a few words in a diary

I barely remember
That the pond was covered in frost
Then and never again the snow smelled of lilac
Oh, your mother hid her slippers
From the frost, the ringlov in front of the house was full
Into your father's boots and to the tavern across the veranda

Ref.

And a heavy break in my heart

Come on, kids

Ref.

Like a few words in a diary

Ref.

And a heavy break in my heart
