Paroles et traduction Parni Valjak - A Ja Bih Sa Vragom

A Ja Bih Sa Vragom

Opet tjeskobe,
Strahovi stari.
Ispred mene
Nema ništa što obećava.
U mraku sjedim,
Hladno se znojim,
Proznajem javno,
A jedini nisam koji se bojim.
Ni stari mi nije utjeha neka,
Na njemu vidim što i mene čeka,
Rintao je čitav život,
A nema ništa osim godina.
Sve češće zaboravlja stvari
I kosti ga bole kad vrijeme se kvari.
A ni stara nije ništa bolje,
Nemaju volje,
Nemaju volje.
A ja bih sa vragom sklopio savez
I ne bi, ne bi pekla me savjest,
A ja bih sa vragom sklopio savez
I ne bi, ne bi pekla me savjest,
Da netko drugi stari ′mjesto mene,
Da slika zaustavi vrijeme.
Kosa me napušta brže no što treba,
I borim se k'o lud za svaki zub,
Al′ vrijeme nosi svoje, vrijeme nosi svoje,
Sve je uzalud.
A i tebi, dušo, već vidim prve sijede,
A koliko još jučer bila si dijete.
I iako još uvijek izgledaš bolje
Od svake klinke što gradom šeće,
Žao mi je i zbog tebe i zbog sebe
Što to još dugo trajati neće.
I zato bih s vragom sklopio savez
I ne bi, ne bi pekla me savjest,
I zato bih s vragom sklopio savez
I ne bi, ne bi pekla me savjest,
Da netko drugi stari 'mjesto tebe,
Da netko drugi stari 'mjesto mene.
I zato bih s vragom sklopio savez
I ne bi, ne bi pekla me savjest,
A ja bih sa vragom sklopio savez
I ne bi, ne bi pekla me savjest,
Da netko drugi stari ′mjesto mene,
Da slika zaustavi vrijeme.

I Would Make a Pact with the Devil

Again the troubles,
The old fears.
In front of me
There is nothing that promises.
I sit in the dark,
I sweat coldly,
I confess publicly,
And I'm not the only one who's afraid.
Even my old man is no comfort,
I see on him what awaits me too,
He's been fighting all his life,
And he's got nothing but years.
He forgets things more and more often
And his bones hurt when the weather changes.
And my old lady is no better,
They have no will,
They have no will.
And I would make a pact with the devil
And my conscience wouldn't bother me,
And I would make a pact with the devil
And my conscience wouldn't bother me,
If someone else would age instead of me,
If a picture would stop time.
My hair is leaving me faster than it should,
And I fight like crazy for every tooth,
But time takes its toll, time takes its toll,
It's all in vain.
And I can already see the first gray hairs on you too,
And just yesterday you were still a child.
And even though you still look better
Than any girl who walks the city,
I feel sorry for you and for me
That this won't last much longer.
And that's why I would make a pact with the devil
And my conscience wouldn't bother me,
And that's why I would make a pact with the devil
And my conscience wouldn't bother me,
If someone else would age instead of you,
If someone else would age instead of me.
And that's why I would make a pact with the devil
And my conscience wouldn't bother me,
And I would make a pact with the devil
And my conscience wouldn't bother me,
If someone else would age instead of me,
If a picture would stop time.
