Paroles et traduction Đorđe Balašević - Dođoška

Dođoška

Njenog brata znao sam, tako, iz čuvenja
Nisam puno mario za te dođoše
Vukla se k'o kornjača jedna jesen lenja
Spori dani davno prođoše
Pretio je da će on na put da mi stane
I da mu se sestre okanem

A mi smo samo šetali i pomalo kisli
Dobro sam se nagled'o njenih koraka
Druge su mi devojke pobegle iz misli
Prhnule k'o jato čvoraka
Tih je dana zvonilo u čast Malog Princa
I odvažnog Bilbo Baginsa

Na svim mojim crkvama satovi su stali
Kazaljke se, srećom, baš tada sklopiše
Sto hiljada reči znam, al' jedna mi fali
Da nju kako treba opišem
I sram ga bilo, gospodo, ko pomisli loše
Al' ni nalik na druge dođoše

Otad' baš ne uzimam svaku što se pruža
Srce se odupire, pa se privikne
Al' zumbuli su zumbuli, a ruža je ruža
Pa da na kraj sveta iznikne
Ma, da se redom postroje odavde do ćoška
Nijedna ko moja Dođoška

Ta, idi
Nijedna k'o moja Dođoška

Dođoška

I knew her brother, you know, from the stories
I didn't care much for these Dođoše
She dragged herself around like a slow tortoise one lazy autumn
The slow days passed long ago
He threatened to stand in my way
And that I should give up on his sisters

But we just walked and got a little wet
I got a good look at her steps
Other girls have run from my mind
Flew away like a flock of starlings
In those days, the bells rang in honor of the Little Prince
And the brave Bilbo Baggins

On all my churches, the clocks have stopped
The hands, luckily, came together just then
I know a hundred thousand words, but one is missing
To describe her properly
And shame on him, gentlemen, whoever thinks ill
But she’s not like other Dođoše

Since then, I don’t just take any woman who comes my way
My heart resists, then gets used to it
But hyacinths are hyacinths, and a rose is a rose
Even if it grows to the end of the world
Even if they line up from here to the corner
None are like my Dođoška

That's it
None like my Dođoška
