Paroles et traduction Hladno Pivo - Šank

Šank

Sad stoji ovdje naslonjen na sank
Veli mi da nema s kim popricati
Ma neka si nabavi nekog psa
Samo nek' mi skine ruku s ramena

Suputnik u kutiji nacionalno prosjecan
Ujutro pred polazak je progutao Vecernjak
Sa njim lakse podnosi sve sitne poraze
Guzve na salteru i ponizavanje

Ponekad se zapita zasto mu ime ne pamte
Kad tridesetak godina gradio je spalire
Mozda je umoran mozda vec prestar
Bole ga glasnice od skandiranja

Odozgo ga redovno tjese i dokazuju
Da njegov zivot i sav trud nisu bili uzalud
Ako vec i nema para pripadnik je svetog stada
Pa zasto da ga muce ove stvari zemaljske

Bar

Now he's just standing here leaning on the bar
He tells me he's got no one to talk to
Why doesn't he get a dog
Just so he'll keep his hand off my shoulder

A regular Joe in a box at the office
He'd read the morning paper before leaving
It helped him deal with all the small defeats
Crowds at the counter and humiliation

Sometimes he wondered why they never remembered his name
When for thirty years he'd been building bridges
Maybe he's tired, maybe he's too old
His vocal cords are sore from all the chanting

They comfort and assure him from above
That his life and work haven't been in vain
Even if he's got no money, he belongs to the holy flock
So why should he bother with these earthly concerns
