Paroles et traduction Đorđe Balašević - Kad Odem......

Kad Odem......

Kad odem
Kad me đavo isprati glavnim sokakom
I kad mesečina zaveje moj trag
Nemoj tugovati jer jednom svakom
Mali nemi slavuj doleti na prag

Kad odem
Kad zamumla vetar zimske očenaše
I kad mrtvo lišče potera u kas
Za kaznu prognat će i tamburaše
Zbog pogrešne pesme, u pogrešan čas

Hej, budi jaka ti, najlakše je plakati
To nam samo Gospod svira jesenju sonatu
Snio sam vrata u tom suvom zlatu
Strah me da prođem, al' proći ću

Znam, laf si stari ti, nemoj sve pokvariti
Kresni samo jednu sveću na svetog Jovana
Ne čuvaj, dugo pepeo tih dana
Kad jednom odem, a poći ću

Kad odem
Kad u prozor staviš prvu hrizantemu
I kad popucaju divlji kesteni
Ne pali uzalud fenjer na tremu
Kad me otmu magle jedne jeseni

Hej, budi jaka ti, najlakše je plakati
To nam samo Gospod svira jesenju sonatu
Snio sam vrata u tom suvom zlatu
Strah me da prođem, al' proći ću

Znam, laf si stari ti, nemoj sve pokvariti
Kresni samo jednu sveću na svetog Jovana
Ne čuvaj dugo pepeo tih dana
Kad jednom odem, a poći ću
Kad jednom odem

When I Leave......

When I leave
When the devil escorts me down the main street
And when the moonlight covers my tracks
Don't grieve, because everyone one day
A small, silent nightingale will fly to your doorstep

When I leave
When the wind whispers winter's prayers
And when the dead leaves chase you into the evening
As punishment, they will banish even the tamburitza players
For the wrong song, at the wrong time

Hey, be strong, it's easiest to cry
That's just God playing us the autumn sonata
I dreamed of a door in that dry gold
I'm afraid to pass through, but I will

I know you're an old fool, don't ruin everything
Just light one candle on Saint John's Day
Don't keep, for long, the ashes of those days
When I leave, and I will

When I leave
When you put the first chrysanthemum in the window
And when the wild chestnuts burst
Don't light a lantern on the porch for no reason
When the fogs steal me away one autumn

Hey, be strong, it's easiest to cry
That's just God playing us the autumn sonata
I dreamed of a door in that dry gold
I'm afraid to pass through, but I will

I know you're an old fool, don't ruin everything
Just light one candle on Saint John's Day
Don't keep the ashes of those days for long
When I leave, and I will
When I leave one day
