Iz Dana U Dan - Elemental traduction en anglais

Iz Dana U Dan

Kol'ko nisko idemo, može li uopće niže?
Možda nam se digo zanos, al' standard nam se ne diže
Dani ponosa i slave i minusa na tekućem
Mi ne živimo, mi preživljavamo
Šta ostavljamo našem budućem naraštaju? Dugove, račune
Rate kredita nas guše a nemamo ni kune
Kombiniramo kako odgodit plaćanje bar za desetak dana
Jebo život kad na karticu se kupuje hrana

Di smo sad? Stara štednja se otopila
Ošla na ono bitno, pojela se i popila
Bez svega smo ostali, prenaglo nas je pogodilo
Ko uopće zna što se to prek noći dogodilo

Koga da pitam, brate, ko će mi dat odgovore?
Reci bilo šta osim da je moglo biti gore

Sve te tisuće, hiljadarke, konjanici i rudari
Stavljani davno na stranu za neki san da se ostvari
Nestali u brojkama, brojke ko snijeg okopnile
Dok mi smo preživljavali životne stvari poskupile
I di smo sad? Napokon mirni, napokon slobodni
Napokon u svojoj državi, al' sad smo siromašni

Dali smo svoje snove za ovu zemlju i nije nam žao
Al' usput se našao domoljub veći od nas pa pokrao sav višak
Radili, al' nisu nas cijenili
Mjesecima čekali da plate trud što smo uložili
Di smo sad? Opet sve ispočetka
Za kolko nisko idemo od ponedeljka do petka?
Kolko danas vrijedi naš rad
Imali smo sad nemamo, di smo sad?

Samo živimo iz dana u dan
I svaki san davno nestao je izbrisan
Koga da pitam, brate, tko će mi dat odgovore?
Reci bilo šta osim da je moglo biti gore

Samo živimo iz dana u dan
I svaki san davno nestao je izbrisan
Koga da pitam, brate, tko će mi dat odgovore?
Reci bilo šta osim da je moglo biti gore

I di smo sad? (Di smo?) Još čekamo bolje sutra
Možda naivno se nadamo istim stvarima
Dok iznutra cijeli sistem zakazuje, nema pravde da nas štiti
Nema poštene vlasti, sve sami konvertiti
Obećanja su jeftina a život je tako skup
Pa su uzor kriminalci, šta ćeš, nije narod glup
Hoće standard, hoće lovu, hoće živit, hoće sve
A to čekaju i čekaju i čekaju i popizde

Jer nema smisla, režije su visoke, minus je preduboko
Sve to traje predugo, narod puko
Jedni kukaju što jučer bilo bolje je neg danas
Drugi divljaju, galame dok ih puca nacionalni zanos
I? Pitam te, pitam te di smo sad
Dalje radimo na crno ispod cijene, al' do kad?
Ko će vratit dostojanstvo, ko će platit punu cijenu
Dat nam tol'ko kol'ko vrijedimo da stvari jednom krenu?

Više gubimo strpljenje, samo brojimo probleme
Sve što imali smo nemamo i teško nam je breme
Pa na kraju svatko zapita se, "Kol'ko nisko spao sam?"
Pa kako onda ostat ponosa?

Samo živimo iz dana u dan
I svaki san davno nestao je izbrisan
Koga da pitam, brate, tko će mi dat odgovore?
Reci bilo šta osim da je moglo biti gore

Samo živimo iz dana u dan
I svaki san davno nestao je izbrisan
Koga da pitam, brate, tko će mi dat odgovore?
Reci bilo šta osim da je moglo biti gore

I reci mi sa smo mogli promijeniti svijet (reci mi, molim te)
Da će djeca što dolaze imat nasljeđe za ponijet
I reci mi da nismo sve dobro uništili (reci mi, molim te)
I da ću moći mirno spavati od savjesti

Oh, reci mi da možemo izgraditi, da nije prekasno
I ako zakažem daj mi snage stvorit nešto prekrasno
I već sutra volio bih otvoriti oči pa da budem zahvalan
Al' ne mogu, pa stisnem zube i hodam iz dana u dan

Samo živimo iz dana u dan
I svaki san davno nestao je izbrisan
Koga da pitam, brate, tko će mi dat odgovore
Reci bilo šta osim da je moglo biti gore

Samo živimo iz dana u dan
I svaki san davno nestao je izbrisan
Koga da pitam, brate, tko će mi dat odgovore
Reci bilo šta osim da je moglo biti gore

From Day To Day

How low do we go, darling, can it get any lower?
Maybe our spirits are lifted, but our standard of living isn't rising
Days of pride and glory and overdrafts in our account
We're not living, love, we're just surviving
What are we leaving for our future generations? Debts, bills
Loan installments are choking us and we don't have a dime
We're figuring out how to postpone payments for at least ten days
Life's a bitch when you're buying food on credit

Where are we now, sweetheart? Our old savings have melted away
Spent on the essentials, eaten and drunk away
We're left with nothing, it hit us so suddenly
Who even knows what happened overnight?

Who should I ask, my dear, who will give me the answers?
Tell me anything but that it could be worse

All those thousands, dinars, horsemen and miners
Put aside long ago for a dream to come true
Vanished into numbers, numbers that melted away like snow
While we were surviving, the cost of living went up
And where are we now, my love? Finally at peace, finally free
Finally in our own country, but now we're poor

We gave our dreams for this country and we don't regret it
But along the way, a patriot bigger than us showed up and stole all the surplus
We worked, but they didn't appreciate us
We waited for months for them to pay for the effort we put in
Where are we now, honey? Back to square one
How low do we go from Monday to Friday?
How much is our work worth today?
We had it, now we don't, where are we now?

We just live from day to day
And every dream has long since vanished and been erased
Who should I ask, my dear, who will give me the answers?
Tell me anything but that it could be worse

We just live from day to day
And every dream has long since vanished and been erased
Who should I ask, my dear, who will give me the answers?
Tell me anything but that it could be worse

And where are we now? (Where are we?) Still waiting for a better tomorrow
Maybe naively hoping for the same things
While the whole system is failing from within, there's no justice to protect us
No honest government, just converts
Promises are cheap and life is so expensive
So criminals are role models, what can you do, people aren't stupid
They want a standard of living, they want money, they want to live, they want everything
And they wait and wait and wait and they lose it

Because it makes no sense, the bills are high, the overdraft is too deep
It's all been going on for too long, the people have cracked
Some complain that yesterday was better than today
Others rage, shout while national fervor consumes them
And? I ask you, darling, I ask you where are we now?
We still work under the table below minimum wage, but for how long?
Who will restore our dignity, who will pay the full price
Give us what we're worth so things can finally start moving?

We're losing patience, just counting problems
Everything we had we don't have and the burden is heavy
So in the end, everyone asks themselves, "How low have I fallen?"
So how can we hold onto our pride then?

We just live from day to day
And every dream has long since vanished and been erased
Who should I ask, my dear, who will give me the answers?
Tell me anything but that it could be worse

We just live from day to day
And every dream has long since vanished and been erased
Who should I ask, my dear, who will give me the answers?
Tell me anything but that it could be worse

And tell me that we could change the world (tell me, please)
That the children who are coming will have a legacy to carry
And tell me that we haven't destroyed everything good (tell me, please)
And that I will be able to sleep peacefully with a clear conscience

Oh, tell me that we can rebuild, that it's not too late
And if I fail, give me the strength to create something beautiful
And tomorrow I would love to open my eyes and be grateful
But I can't, so I grit my teeth and walk from day to day

We just live from day to day
And every dream has long since vanished and been erased
Who should I ask, my dear, who will give me answers?
Tell me anything but that it could be worse

We just live from day to day
And every dream has long since vanished and been erased
Who should I ask, my dear, who will give me the answers?
Tell me anything but that it could be worse
