Paroles et traduction HAZARD - Papige

Papige

V glavi imajo magnetofon,
Ki je priključen na telefon.
Posnamejo, kar naokrog ujamejo
In kar nato prodajajo
Z napako je blago.
Iz časopisov prejšnjega dne,
Njihove teze znane so že.
Nakladajo, že znane pesmi skladajo
In vse, kar jim iz kljunov gre,
Napiše se drugje.
Papige niso le ob večni poti.
Papige, vsepovsod jih mrgoli.
Papige niso za in niso proti,
Papige so za to, za kar si ti.
S svojim stališčem k šefu gredo,
Z mnenjem njegovim se vrnejo.
Ponavljajo, karkoli ugotavljajo,
Kdor prav poslušati jih zna,
Razume: "Bla, bla, bla."

Papige

Your mind's a tape recorder,
Plugged into a telephone line.
You record everything you hear
And then you sell it as your own.
There’s something wrong with your product.
Your arguments come from yesterday's newspaper,
Your theories are already well-known.
You compile known songs,
And everything that comes out of your beak
Was written somewhere else.
Parrots are not just found in the jungle.
Parrots are everywhere.
Parrots are not for or against anything,
Parrots are for whatever you are for.
You go to your boss with a point of view,
And you come back with his opinion.
You repeat whatever you are told,
And if you listen closely,
You hear: "Blah, blah, blah."
