Djevojka sa carda nogama - Đorđe Balašević traduction en anglais

Djevojka sa carda nogama

Nosila je jelek svileni
Kao u pesmi narodnoj
I krstić znak na lanćiću
Da nekog čeka navodno

O, to su bili svatovi
Sve kičeni i zlačeni
A mi smo bolje svirali
Neg' što smo bili plačeni
Al' dobro, sad

Nosio sam šal od kašmira
I prsluk protkan tajnama
Baš od takvih su je čuvale
Tetke sa 'ladnim trajnama

K'o srna me je gledala
Žalosnom pesmom sluđena
Ta čije si, pile pirgavo
Što nisi meni suđena, e da

Hej pusti kose pune polena
Hajde baš u inat babarogama
Hopla,digni suknju iznad kolena
Znam da kriješ čardaš
U tim lepim nogama

Rekoh joj beži, mani se
I traži bolje partije
Premala je moja tambura
Da te od kiše sakrije

Rekoh joj ja sam samo tu
Da vreme brže proleti
Ja nosim čizme skitaljke
Mene je teško voleti, badava

Hej pusti kose pune polena
Hajde baš u inat babarogama
Hopla,digni suknju iznad kolena
Znam da kriješ čardaš
U tim lepim nogama

Hej, doleti mala senice
Tu, na moje zlatne ćivije
Vatra šara tvoje zenice
Razbij nešto i zaigraj ludo, divije

A Girl with Luscious Legs

She wore a vest of silk
Like in a folk song
And a cross on a chain
As if she was waiting for someone

Oh, those were wedding guests
All decked out and gilded
And we played better
Than we were paid
But that's okay, now

I wore a cashmere scarf
And a waistcoat woven with secrets
It was from those very women
Aunts with cold looks

She looked at me like a deer
Bewitched by a sad song
Whose are you, pale chick
Why weren't you fated for me, oh

Hey, let your hair down, full of pollen
Come on, just to spite those old biddies
Hopla, lift your skirt above your knees
I know you're hiding a czardas
In those beautiful legs

I told her, run away, leave me alone
And look for a better match
My tambura is too small
To shelter you from the rain

I told her, I'm only here
To make the time go faster
I wear boots of a wanderer
It's hard to love me, no point

Hey, let your hair down, full of pollen
Come on, just to spite those old biddies
Hopla, lift your skirt above your knees
I know you're hiding a czardas
In those beautiful legs

Hey, fly down, little tit
Here, to my golden pegs
Your passionate eyes flame like fire
Break something and dance wildly, go mad
