Neko to od gore vidi sve - Đorđe Balašević traduction en anglais

Neko to od gore vidi sve

Stevu Čenejca je ubio grom
Nežno k'o rukom
Na širokom šoru tu negde pred zoru il' pre
Niko se nije pitao gde se to noču skitao
Nego su žalili i sveče palili svi
Sa njegovim stricem sam proveo dan
Bio je očajan,
Al' taj matori momak
Je imao stomak za sve
Pa reče, eto, tuđeg se latio
Zato je glavom platio
Zbog žene svog kuma je sišaos s uma, sasvim
A, vidiš neko to od gore vidi sve
Povlaći te konce, igra se
Postavi na svoje mesto
Svako dobro, a zlo još pre
Sve vide oči sudbine
Tako ponekad te reči mi dođu
K'o jeka kad bure se spuste
Pa pacovi napuste brod
Ne brinem mnogo o njima
Vrate se s lepim danima
Pa idemo daljeiI plovidba traje ko pre
Al' znam da neko to
Od gore vidi sve
Povlaci te konce, igra se
Postavi na svoje mesto
Svako dobro, zlo još pre
Sve vide oči sudbine
Lomiš mi srce k'o bagremov prut
Onako uz put
Kad ostaneš sama
Ti nađes par dana za nas
Al' ja crtam svoje krugove
I praštam stare dugove
Da možda se varam al' što da se staram o tom
Kad uvek neko to od gore vidi sve
Povlaci te konce, igra se
Postavi na svoje mesto
Svako dobro, zlo još pre
Sve vide oči sudbine

Someone Up There Sees Everything

Steve Cheney was killed by lightning
As if by a hand
On a wide field somewhere before or maybe after dawn
No one wondered where he might have been roaming around that night
Instead they showed their sorrow and lit candles for him
I spent a day with his uncle
He was devastated
But that old man
Had the strength to take it all
He said, well, he's stolen something of the other's
So he paid for it with his life
He lost his mind over his godfather's wife
But, you see, someone up there sees everything
He pulls the strings, he plays the game
He puts everyone in their place
Every good, and evil sooner
The eyes of fate see everything
So sometimes those words come to me
Like an echo when the tempest descends
And the rats abandon the ship
I don't care about them much
They'll return when the days are bright
And we'll sail on, the voyage will continue as before
But I know that someone up there
Sees everything
He pulls the strings, he plays the game
He puts everyone in their place
Every good, evil sooner
The eyes of fate see everything
You break my heart like a branch of a laburnum tree
Just like that, on a whim
When you're left alone
You find a few days to spare for us
But I draw circles of my own
And forgive old debts
Maybe I'm wrong, but why should I worry about that
When someone up there always sees everything
He pulls the strings, he plays the game
He puts everyone in their place
Every good, evil sooner
The eyes of fate see everything
