Paroles et traduction Zabranjeno Pušenje - Srce, Ruke I Lopata

Srce, Ruke I Lopata

Domovina naa je rodila
Hiljade i hiljade junaka
Jedan od tih delija
To je moj komija Avdija
Nije bio on niti bomba
Nije bio on niti sportista
Sve to je imao od oruja
To su srce, ruke i lopata
Zemlja je bila sruena
Valjalo se dizati iz pepela
Radio je tada Avdija
K′o to radi deset armija
Jednog je dana, 23. oktobra
Zlatna znaèka udarna
Zasjala na njegovim grudima
Dugo æe se sjeæati Avdija
Tog jesenjeg podneva
Dugo æe se sjeæati
Rijeèi jednog od drugova:
"Ti si na ponos, Avdija,
Ti si na ponos k'o zastava"
Nala se i slika njegova
Usred fabrièkih novina
Njegov je dan udaran
A njegov san je
Hiljadu tona za jedan dan
Doðoe nova vremena
Izgubi se negdje Avdija
Zaboravili smo svi na njega
Imamo dovoljno bagera
Samo ponekad
Pred prvi maj
Zovne ga direktor osnovne
Da uvelièa proslave
Prièa anegdote i podvige
Tog dana Avdija
Pokupi plakete i ordenje
U okièenom razredu
Poèasno mjesto zauzme
Prije nego pred klince izaðe
Koju ljutu popije
Kao pjesnik to ne vjeruje
U vlastite stihove
Njegov je dan...

Heart, Hands and a Shovel

Our homeland has given birth
Thousands of thousands of heroes
One of these fine lads
Is my friend Avdija
He wasn't a bomb or an athlete
He wasn't a sportsman
All he had were tools
That's his heart, hands, and a shovel
The land was destroyed
We had to rise from the ashes
Avdija worked then
Like ten armies would
One day, October 23rd
The golden badge of a shock worker
Shone on his chest
Avdija will long remember
That autumn afternoon
He'll long remember
The words of one of his friends:
"You're a source of pride, Avdija,
You're a source of pride, like the flag"
There's a picture of him
In the middle of a factory newspaper
His day is a shock worker's day
And his dream
Is a thousand tons in one day
New times have come
Avdija has been lost somewhere
We've all forgotten him
We have enough bulldozers
Only sometimes
Before May 1st
The principal of an elementary school calls him
To spice up the celebration
He tells jokes and stories
Of that day Avdija
Collected his badges and medals
In the eighth grade classroom
He takes the place of honor
Before he goes out in front of the kids
He downs a stiff drink
He doesn't believe it, as a poet
In his own verses
His day...
