Paroles et traduction Đorđe Balašević - Ne Lomite Mi Bagrenje

Ne Lomite Mi Bagrenje

Verujem, cenjeni sude
Da dobro poznaješ ljude
Vi barem imate posla
Jer ćud je ćud, a sud je sud

Verujem, cenjena glavo
Da si i učio pravo
Da svakom sudiš pošteno
Jer čast je čast, a vlast je vlast

I sve po zakonu
Ta to sam prvi, ne bi bilo ove krvi
Da je bilo sve po zakonu

Vlast je vlasti
I ja to poštujem
Tu su paragrafi, pa zagrabi
Nek isto je i đavolu i đakonu
Pa nek' se zna

Nek' su mi gazili njivom
Mojom se sladili šljivom
Uvek je lopova bilo
Jer ćuk je ćuk i vuk je vuk

Nikada zlotvora dosta
Suša mi uništi bostan
I led se prospe pred žetvu
Al' led je led, a red je red

I prekardašilo
Imo sam bagremovu šumu
Tamo dole prema drumu
Pa sam čekao

Red je red
Polako komšije
Ne može samo da se uđe, da se ruši tuđe
Lepo sam im rekao

Ne lomite mi bagrenje
Bez njih će me vetrovi oduvati
Pustite ih, moraju mi čuvati
Jednu tajnu zlatnu, kao dukati
Ne lomite mi bagrenje
Pod njima sam je ljubio
Bosonogu i odbeglu od sna

Ljudi smo, cenjeni sude
Pa neka bude šta bude
Žao mi marama crnih
Al' plač je plač, a mač je mač

Ne pitaj šta bi sad bilo
Kad bi se ponovo zbilo
Ne pitaj da li se kajem
Jer jed je jed, a red je red

I sve po zakonu
Tu su paragrafi, pa zagrabi pošteno
I za veru i za neveru

Red je red
Sve ja to poštujem
Jer više bilo bi ubica
Nego ptica koje odleću ka severu

Ne lomite mi bagrenje
Bez njih će me vetrovi oduvati
Pustite ih, moraju mi čuvati
Jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati
Ne lomite mi bagrenje
Pod njima sam je ljubio

O, zar moram da vam ponovim?
Okanite se njih
Jer sve ću da vas polomim

Don't Break My Mimosa

I believe, esteemed lady
That you know people well
At least you have a job
For will is will, and court is court

I believe, esteemed lady
That you have also studied law
That you judge everyone fairly
For honor is honor, and authority is authority

And all according to law
And I swear, there wouldn't have been this bloodshed
If everything had been according to law

Authority is authority
And I respect that
Here are the paragraphs, so grab them honestly
Let it be the same for the devil and the deacon
So let it be known

Let them have trampled my field
Let them have enjoyed my plums
There have always been thieves
For a thief is a thief and a wolf is a wolf

There are never enough villains
Drought has destroyed my garden
And the ice has spread before the harvest
But ice is ice, and order is order

And also deceived
I had a mimosa forest
Down there towards the road
And so I waited

Order is order
Slowly neighbors
You can't just enter and destroy someone else's property
I told them nicely

Don't break my mimosa
Without them the winds will blow me away
Leave them, they must keep for me
A golden secret, like ducats
Don't break my mimosa
I loved her beneath them
Barefoot and running away from a dream

We are people, esteemed lady
So let it be what will be
I'm sorry for the black scarves
But crying is crying, and a sword is a sword

Don't ask what would have happened now
If it had happened again
Don't ask if I regret it
For poison is poison, and order is order

And all according to law
Here are the paragraphs, so grab them honestly
Both for faith and for faithlessness

Order is order
I respect all that
Because there would have been more murderers
Than the birds that fly to the north

Don't break my mimosa
Without them the winds will blow me away
Leave them, they must keep for me
A golden secret like ducats
Don't break my mimosa
I loved her beneath them

Oh, do I have to repeat myself?
Leave them alone
Because I will break you all
