Paroles et traduction Lačni Franz - Lipa zelenela je

Lipa zelenela je

Mi, njen razred, 8. a, smo peli na pogrebu
Lipa zelenela je, ker jo je povozil tovornjak
Sošolko, preko glave, ki sem si jo upal gledat
V beli srajci, v rokah rože, potem, ko so jo zrihtali
Saj veš, gips in preko malo kože

Za njeno mamo so nosili stol. Jokala je in zlezla skupaj
Lipa zelenela je, ker je nismo imeli radi, je preminila
Naredila edino dobro stvar, da je umrla sredi maja
Se sliši danes zlobno, takrat pa:
Učenci, mir! Namesto fizike bo pevska vaja!

Potem je iz naših spisov vstala lepa, dobra, nagajiva
Lipa zelenela je, in sem lagal, da sva se skrila
V biološki kabinet, med škrgoustko in domače zajce
In sem lagal vsem svojim novim puncam
Da mi je prvo povozil tovornjak
In da, ko sem jo mečkal, je šepetala:
Ne tu, ne tu, ne zdaj, pozneje

Še danes mi prav pride, ko se ga napijem
V kakšni novi in prijetni družbi: Lipa zelenela je
Jim razlagam in zmeraj kaj dodam
Ob njenih dolgih krasnih nogah ji zamerim
Da je ostala rosno mlada in ko se vračava domov
Se spomnim, da sem, ko smo ga zadnjič skupaj pili
Njim o njej že vse povedal
Ne tu, ne tu, ne zdaj, pozneje

The Green Linden Tree

We her class 8. a sang at the funeral
The green linden tree, because a truck ran her over
A classmate, I dared to look at her lying there headless
In a white blouse, with flowers in her hands, after they fixed her up
You know, plaster and a little bit of skin

They brought a chair for her mother. She cried and collapsed
The green linden tree, as we didn't like her, passed away
Did the only good thing by dying in the middle of May
Sounds mean today, but back then it was like:
Students, be quiet! Instead of Physics there will be a singing lesson!

Then she rose from our essays beautiful, good, naughty
The green linden tree, and I lied that we hid
In the biology lab, between the lamprey and the domestic rabbits
And I lied to all my new girlfriends
That the truck ran me over first
And that when I kissed her, she whispered
Not here, not here, not now, later

It still comes in handy today When I get drunk
In some new and pleasant company: The green linden tree
I explain things to her and always add a little something
I blame her for her long beautiful legs
That she remained eternally young and as we walk home
I remember that the last time we drank it together
I already told them everything about her
Not here, not here, not now, later
