Paroles et traduction Edo Maajka - Mahir I Alma

Mahir I Alma

"Ljubav, ljubav je smisao života"
Priča mi čovjek za šankom dok cigaru mota
"Ljepota njena se ne može ni s čim mjerit"
Reče mi krvavih očiju i ode rakiju potegnit
Zove se Alma i sjedila je sama u klupi
Ja joj prosu neki fazon glupi
Rekoh, "Đe si curo zgodna", ona kaže da me pozna
"Ti si Mahir, osmi dva, već te dugo gledam ja"

Bilo je pola dva, april peti, Mahir se sjeti
Odmah smo se zaljubili, pred svima poljubili
Hodali smo školom, držali se za ruku
Djelili istu klupu i užinu, imali istu družinu

Istu srednju školu, s njom sam pjevo u horu
Izigravo foru, vozili se na mom motoru
Ja, Alma i Tomos imali smo mali kosmos
Svoje drvo uz Savu, stotinu djece u planu

Svoje pjesme, svoje priče, naša hrana, naše piće
Naše zvijezde i naš grad, sjećam se ko sad
Rekla je "Mahire bojim se, pazi da me ne boli"
Bojo sam se i ja, al' sam znao da me pravo voli

Ja i Alma goli, i njoj i meni prvi puta
Bilo je ljeto i Ficibajr naše drvo pored puta
Nikad neću zaboravit taj miris trave
U očima zvijezde kako sjaje, topli vjetar sa Save
Taj dim cigare, moj izgubljeni pogled
"Jednog dana bit ću ti žena, a ti moj čovjek"

"Konobar, daj još jednu", ja izvadi' siće
"Donesi Mahiru piće, pa da čujem ostatak ove priče"
On svoj konjak sastavi, pa priču meni nastavi
"Almini starci su bili na rastavi, nije mogla više trpit non-stop svađe
Pa je onda kod mene živila, rađe dok se sama negdje ne snađe
Međutim, to se odužilo na jedno dvije godine
Pa smo prešli u stan kod moje bližnje rodbine
Rekoh hajmo se oženit, datum svadbe treći maj
Na svadbu ćemo pozvat cijeli naš kraj
Tu je bio kraj"

Dan prije vjenčanja, došlo je do sranja
Ona bila je kod matere, tam' će dočekat svatove
Al' umjesto svatova, ljudi pale su granate
Pobjegla je s materom kod svoje tetke Fate

Svi znate, bila je panika, spasi živu glavu
Ja sam preplivo Savu, imo sreću pravu
Probo sam je nazvat, međutim pukle su veze
"Alma je mrtva, Alma je mrtva", to su bile riječi Kreze

"Krezo lažeš, lažeš Krezo, jebaću ti sve"
"Ne lažem Mahire, matere mi, evo pitaj Alije"
"Alija, reci nešto, ljudi nemojte me sad zajebavat
Vidio sam kako je pala kad je pošla pretrčavat
I mrtva je sto posto jer ja sam zadnji osto
Poginuli su još dvojica što sam ih bio po nju poslo"
Bez zraka sam osto, sedam dana nisam mogo jest
Čeko sam svaki dan da neko kaže neku vijest
Al' ništa ni vijesti, ni života u meni
Samo alkohol u mojoj veni i sjećanje o jednoj ženi

Otišo sam u Njemačku i počeo tam radit
Reko, lakše ću je zaboravit i malo ću se oporavit
Dan za danom 12 sati dnevno, radio sam vrijedno
Poso i rad samo da zaboravim na rat

Godine su prolazile i naniza ih se već šest
Završen je rat, u Bosni je to već stara vijest
Šta ću dole, nemam ništa, tu sam sebi život stvorio
Ma hajmo dole na par dana, moj frend me nagovorio

Došo sam dole i bilo je sve u najboljem redu
Dok nisam sreo koga, pa Alminog rođaka Vedu
"Đe si Mahire?", "Đe si Vedo?"
"Evo kaže baš sam sada kod Alme kreno"
"Zar si šeno, Vedo, šta me zezaš?"
"Pa Alma je živa, šta ti to ne znaš?"
Noge mi se odrezaše i sve slike naše došle mi na oči
"Vodi me me Vedo, moram do nje doći"
"Neće moći", reko, "Molim?", on mi kaže

"Alma se udala za Kebu, s njime čeka bebu"
"I to drugu, prošle godine mu je rodila curu"
Dade mi broj telefona, odma' sam je ja bio nazvo
Reko "Halo, Alma, izvini, jebi ga, nisam ni ja znao"

Tako poče razgovor, dva sata smo plakali
Jedno drugom se jadali, dok smo zajedno razgovarali
"Izvini Mahire, takva je sudbina bila"
"Ako ti išta znači, kćer mi se sad zove Mahira"

"Nisam znala đe si, nisi mi se javljo, udala sam se za Kebu"
"I sad ga volim ono pravo plaho, hajde zdravo"
"Zdravo, vidimo se sutra"
Evo sad sam tu, konobar dajte nam sad još jednu ljutu
Pa reko, "Šta ćes sad, hoćeš se ić nać s njom sutra?"
"Sjedi Edo, pit ćemo do jutra", kapnu mu suza ljuta
Diže se on, kaže, "Izvinite ljudi, odoh ja sad pišat"
Začu se pucanj i sva raja poče vrištat

Izletio sam odma da vidim šta je to
Mercedes krvavi, pištolj i Mahir se je ubio
(Joj, ubi se čovjek, a bio mlad jebo te)

Noćas mi srce pati
Noćas me duša boli
Noćas mi srce pati
Noćas me duša boli

Mahir and Alma

"Love, love is the meaning of life"
A man tells me at the bar as he rolls a cigarette
"Her beauty can't be measured with anything"
He says with bloodshot eyes and goes to take a swig of brandy
Her name is Alma and she was sitting alone on a bench
I threw her some stupid line
I said, "Hey there, pretty girl", she says she knows me
"You're Mahir, eighth grade, I've been watching you for a long time"

It was half past one, April fifth, Mahir remembers
We fell in love immediately, kissed in front of everyone
We walked through school, holding hands
Shared the same bench and lunch, had the same group of friends

Same high school, I sang with her in the choir
Played pranks, rode on my motorcycle
Me, Alma and Tomos, we had a small cosmos
Our own tree by the Sava, a hundred children planned

Our own songs, our own stories, our food, our drinks
Our stars and our city, I remember it like it was yesterday
She said, "Mahir, I'm scared, be careful not to hurt me"
I was scared too, but I knew she truly loved me

Me and Alma naked, both of us for the first time
It was summer and Ficibajr, our tree by the road
I'll never forget that smell of grass
The stars shining in her eyes, the warm wind from the Sava
That cigarette smoke, my lost gaze
"One day I'll be your wife, and you my man"

"Bartender, one more," I take out some change
"Bring Mahir a drink, so I can hear the rest of this story"
He downs his cognac, then continues the story to me
"Alma's parents were getting divorced, she couldn't stand the constant fights anymore"
So she lived with me, rather than being alone somewhere"
However, that dragged on for two years
So we moved into an apartment with my close relatives
I said let's get married, the wedding date is May 3rd
We'll invite our whole neighborhood to the wedding
That was the end"

The day before the wedding, shit went down
She was at her mother's, that's where she was going to wait for the wedding party
But instead of the wedding party, grenades fell
She fled with her mother to her aunt Fata's

You all know, there was panic, save your own life
I swam across the Sava, I was really lucky
I tried to call her, but the lines were down
"Alma is dead, Alma is dead," those were Kreza's words

"Krezo you're lying, you're lying Krezo, I'll fuck you up"
"I'm not lying Mahir, I swear on my mother, ask Alija"
"Alija, say something, guys don't fuck with me now"
I saw her fall when she went to run across
And she's dead for sure because I was the last one left
Two others who I sent for her also died"
I was left breathless, I couldn't eat for seven days
I waited every day for someone to say some news
But nothing, no news, no life in me
Only alcohol in my veins and the memory of one woman

I went to Germany and started working there
I said, it will be easier to forget her and I will recover a little
Day after day, 12 hours a day, I worked hard
Work and labor just to forget about the war

Years passed and six of them have already piled up
The war is over, that's old news in Bosnia
What am I going to do down there, I have nothing, I created a life for myself here
But let's go down there for a few days, my friend persuaded me

I came down and everything was in perfect order
Until I met someone, Alma's cousin Vedo
"Hey Mahir", "Hey Vedo"
"He says I was just on my way to Alma's"
"Are you crazy, Vedo, are you kidding me?"
"Well, Alma is alive, don't you know that?"
My legs gave way and all our pictures came before my eyes
"Take me there Vedo, I have to get to her"
"You won't be able to," he said, "Excuse me?", he tells me

"Alma married Keba, she's expecting a baby with him"
"And that's the second one, she gave birth to a girl last year"
He gave me her phone number, I called her right away
I said "Hello, Alma, I'm sorry, I didn't know either"

That's how the conversation started, we cried for two hours
We complained to each other, while we talked together
"I'm sorry Mahir, that's how fate was"
"If it means anything to you, my daughter's name is now Mahira"

"I didn't know where you were, you didn't contact me, I married Keba"
"And now I really love him, goodbye"
"Goodbye, see you tomorrow"
So here I am now, bartender give us another strong one
So I said, "What are you going to do now, are you going to go see her tomorrow?"
"Sit down Edo, we'll drink until morning", a bitter tear fell from his eye
He gets up, says, "Excuse me folks, I'm going to go pee now"
A shot was heard and everyone started screaming

I ran out immediately to see what it was
Bloody Mercedes, a gun and Mahir killed himself
(Oh, the man killed himself, and he was young damn it)

Tonight my heart aches
Tonight my soul hurts
Tonight my heart aches
Tonight my soul hurts
