Mani me se, lepa Nasto - Đorđe Balašević traduction en anglais

Mani me se, lepa Nasto

Proganja me stalno Nastasija Kinski,
Svaki dan mi dolazi u san.
Priča da me voli, baš ono, odistinski,
I vene zbog mene.
Brine me, pomalo, ta lepa omladinka.
Ne mogu da odobrim njen stav.
Nosi moju sliku k'o zaljubljena klinka,
Moju sliku u novčaniku.
Sve je to lepo i sve mi to laska,
Al' mojoj faci ne pristaje maska.
Ja na te stvari gledam starinski
- Mani me drugarice Kinski!
Nisi ti kriva, stvar ne primaj lično!
To su principi il' tu nešto slično.
Ja sam za drugu devojku rast'o,
Mani se mene lepa Nasto.
Ne mogu da shvatim šta nalazi na meni
Osim što sam visok, lep i plav?
Čim joj nešto kažem a ona porumeni
Pa skokne da me cmokne.
Njen pogled ruši i obara s nogu
Al' ja se branim koliko već mogu.
Snažno me grli, sve grčko-rimski,
Htela bi da me ljubi filmski.
Polako snajka, obustavi napad,
Vrati se lepo na svoj truli zapad!
U Pariz - Texas i među ljude-mačke,
Ja nigde ne mrdam iz Bačke!

Hey, you beautiful Nastasia

Nastasija Kinski's always haunting me,
She comes into my dreams every day.
She says she loves me, really and truly,
And that she's withering away because of me.
This beautiful young girl worries me a bit.
I can't approve of her behavior.
She carries my picture around like a lovesick teenager,
My picture in her wallet.
All this is nice and flattering,
But it doesn't suit my face.
I have an old-fashioned view on these things
- Leave me alone, my dear Miss Kinski!
It's not your fault, don't take it personally!
It's just my principles, or something like that.
I was raised for another girl,
So leave me alone, beautiful Nastasia.
I can't understand what she sees in me,
Other than that I'm tall, handsome, and blond?
Every time I say something to her, she blushes
And jumps up to kiss me.
Her gaze is so captivating,
But I resist as much as I can.
She hugs me so tightly, like in Greco-Roman wrestling,
She wants to kiss me like in the movies.
Whoa there, little lady, calm down!
Go back to your decadent West!
To Paris, Texas, and to those cat people,
I'm not budging from the Bačka region!
