Paroles et traduction Oliver Dragojević - Ksantipa

Ksantipa

Da l neko od vas
Zna šta mu se zbilo
Minulu noć
U snu mu se snilo
Da on ima ženu
K o svi drugi ljudi svijeta
Ženu koja radi i nikud ne šeta
Ali sve to je ostala želja
Čovjeku tom još nema veselja
Jer sve dok u kući ona svoju pravdu stvara
On će dobro pazit da ne prigovara
Ksantipa, šta radiš sad
Ženu tu već pozna skoro cijeli grad
Jer svaki dan u kući toj
Lete čaše, lonci
Pravi bije se boj
I tako to već danima traje
Za njegov bol baš nitko ne haje
A on jadan misli da će ipak doći radost
U tu kuću gdje je proveo svu mladost

Xanthippe

Does any of you
Know what happened to him
Last night
He dreamt
That he had a wife
Like all other people in the world
A wife who works and doesn't wander about
But all that remained a wish
That man still has no joy
Because as long as she creates her own justice in the house
He will take care not to object
Xanthippe, what are you doing now
Almost the whole city already knows that woman
Because every day in that house
Glasses, pots fly
A real battle is being fought
And so it's been for days
Nobody cares about his pain
And he, poor thing, thinks that joy will come anyway
To the house where he spent all his youth
