Paroles et traduction Kendi - Ljudi

Ljudi

Gustiš paprati kišnih tropskih šuma
Tigar što se šunja iza krošnji i žbunja
Zemlja, vatra, vazduh i voda
Veličanstveni ginkgo - drvo života
Red baobaba, lijane i puzavice
Leptir leti iz čaure do nedavne gusenice
Pogled preko klisura, kanjona, fjordova
Oaze u pustinji, vulkan i vodopad
Grom iz oblaka, vetar, kiša, magla
Magma, smaragdi, dijamanti, amalgam
Eho patke, šum prašume
Jedinstven otisak prsta k′o i oblici pahulje
Neko stoji iza ovog, neko mnogo viši
Veći i moćniji nego što čovek misli
To je neshvatljivo i zato nas sumnja prožima
Jer nam fali spoznaja kroz spiritualni doživljaj
Ali, to je on, nazovimo ga Bog
Nazovimo ga Buda, Zevs, Alah ili Tor, kako god
Iz Biblije, Kurana, iz bilo kog proročanstva
Veličanstveni stvoritelj čovečanstva

Ako postoji neko ko ima magični štap
Kojim tako stvara, što nas je stvorio sad?
Što nije ranije il' kasnije? Ko je stvorio njega?
Ko je stvorio onog što je stvorio njega?

Gledaj, ideš u apsurd, taj argument je najpoznatiji
Naš mozak ima slab kapacitet da to shvati

Al′ zato shvata dokonog bradatog dedu
Što sa oblaka gleda na siromaštvo i bedu
Na bolest i na glad, na globalni rat
Na propali brak, totalni mrak, to vam je znak
Da Vaš Bog nije dovoljno jak il' ne postoji uopšte

Ponovo ću da probam da ti dokažem, pazi

Vidim roj insekata, na milione
Mimikrijom skamenjene kameleone
Polja pirinča, savane i džungle
Jaje sa oblikom i strukturom zemaljske kugle
Obris duge, svetlost i pigment
Bića sa dna mora večite enigme
Precizni oblici paukove mreže
Zakon gravitacije, zakon ravnoteže
Arhimedov, Njutnov, Fibonačijev niz
Pitagorina teorema, jednačine sa X
Vrednost Pi, prečnik kruga
Galaktička jezgra usred mlečnog puta
Konstelacije, astralne projekcije
Niske i visoke frekvencije
Moć percepcije, moje telo i duh
Poseduju dodir i njuh, vid i sluh
Slušam tonove, __ melodične, vetrove periodične
Panta rei i perpetuum mobile
Ko sve to pomiče i koga simboliše?
Kako god, ovaj svet savršeno funkcioniše

Ako je svet savršen, zašto starimo?
Zašto ubijamo, krademo i varamo?
Naravno da ćeš reći da postoje raj i pakao, naravno
Ali ovaj život završava samo sahranom
Nećeš biti pred kapijom nekog Svetog Petra
Bilo da si neka sekta, Majka Tereza il' Sveta Petka
Bog nije Hari Poter da baci sectumsempra
Tada stvori univerzum i postane centar sveta
I sve te svete stolice i svete vodice
Ako je jedan, što se krije iza Svete Trojice?
I te liturgije, hodočašća, relikvije

Čekaj, čekaj, stani, to su doktrina i dogme religije
Pričaš koještarije. Ko je stariji, kokoš ili jaje?
Ovde je pitanje ko seje, a ko žanje
Ko je žrtveno jagnje?

Zajebi to crkveno sranje
Ovde narod krpi kraj sa krajem pa se kaje

Raspravi je kraj, ne očekujmo preokret
Ni promenu mišljenja, jer ovo ide u nedogled
Pred ogledalom sedimo, tad je teško da sudiš
Jer smo na kraju krajeva obojica samo ljudi

People

You savor the ferns of the rainy tropical forests
The tiger that lurks behind the canopies and bushes
Earth, fire, air, and water
The magnificent ginkgo - the tree of life
A row of baobabs, vines, and creepers
A butterfly flies from its cocoon, a recent caterpillar
A view across gorges, canyons, fjords
Oases in the desert, a volcano and a waterfall
Thunder from the clouds, wind, rain, fog
Magma, emeralds, diamonds, amalgam
The echo of a duck, the murmur of the rainforest
Unique fingerprint like the shapes of a snowflake
Someone stands behind this, someone much higher
Greater and more powerful than man thinks
It is incomprehensible and therefore doubt pervades us
Because we lack knowledge through spiritual experience
But it is him, let's call him God
Call him Buddha, Zeus, Allah, or Thor, whatever
From the Bible, the Quran, from any prophecy
The magnificent creator of mankind

If there is someone who has a magic wand
Who creates like this, who created us now?
Why not earlier or later? Who created him?
Who created the one who created him?

Look, you're going into absurdity, that argument is the most famous
Our brain has a weak capacity to understand that

But that's why it understands an idle bearded grandpa
Who looks down from the clouds at poverty and misery
At sickness and hunger, at global war
At a failed marriage, total darkness, that's a sign
That your God is not strong enough or doesn't exist at all

I will try again to prove it to you, watch

I see a swarm of insects, millions
Camouflaged chameleons petrified by mimicry
Rice fields, savannas and jungles
An egg with the shape and structure of the globe
The outline of a rainbow, light and pigment
Creatures from the bottom of the sea, eternal enigmas
Precise shapes of a spider's web
The law of gravity, the law of balance
Archimedes', Newton's, Fibonacci sequence
Pythagorean theorem, equations with X
The value of Pi, the diameter of a circle
The galactic core in the middle of the Milky Way
Constellations, astral projections
Low and high frequencies
The power of perception, my body and spirit
They possess touch and smell, sight and hearing
I listen to tones, __ melodic, periodic winds
Panta rei and perpetuum mobile
Who moves all this and who does it symbolize?
Anyway, this world functions perfectly

If the world is perfect, why do we age?
Why do we kill, steal and cheat?
Of course you will say that heaven and hell exist, of course
But this life ends only with a funeral
You won't be at the gate of some Saint Peter
Whether you are a sect, Mother Teresa or Saint Petka
God is not Harry Potter to cast sectumsempra
Then create the universe and become the center of the world
And all those holy seats and holy waters
If he is one, why is he hiding behind the Holy Trinity?
And those liturgies, pilgrimages, relics

Wait, wait, stop, those are the doctrines and dogmas of religion
You're talking nonsense. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The question here is who sows and who reaps
Who is the sacrificial lamb?

Fuck that church shit
Here people are barely making ends meet and repenting

The discussion is over, let's not expect a turnaround
Nor a change of mind, because this goes on forever
We sit in front of the mirror, then it's hard to judge
Because in the end we are both just people
