Kristifore crni sine - Đorđe Balašević traduction en anglais

Kristifore crni sine

Dosadio spanskom kralju
Stalno jedan isti svet
Na Kolumba izbor pade
Da nacini preokret

Nije stig'o da se snadje
Vec mu utrapise ladje
I rekose nadji kontinent
Nije znao da ce sasvim promasiti liniju
Da ce naci Ameriku sve trazeci Indiju

Ref.
Kristifore, crni sine
Kud se vinu na pucine
Kad ti to ne lezi ni za lek
Ne ide se preko mora
Bez kompasa i motora
Nema veze sto je srednji vek

Jednog dana, kad pred njima
Neka zemlja velika
Svi mislise Indija kad ono Amerika
Kristof se za glavu hvata
Stavlja omcu oko vrata
Da potrazi stvarno drugi svet

Ljudi moji, totalno sam promasio liniju
Nasao sam Ameriku, a trazio Indiju

Christopher Columbus

The Spanish king was getting bored
Always the same old world
So on Columbus, the lot fell
To change things around

He hadn't got his bearings
When his ships ran aground
And they said, "Find a continent"
He didn't know that he'd completely miss the mark
Searching for India, but finding America

Chorus
Christopher, dark son
Where did you go sailing?
This isn't your cup of tea
You shouldn't sail across the seas
Without a compass or an engine
It doesn't matter that it's the Middle Ages

One day, when they saw before them
A large land mass
Everyone thought it was India, when it was America
Christopher shook his head
Put a noose around his neck
To find a different world

Oh my dear, I completely missed the mark
I found America, searching for India
