Paroles et traduction Đorđe Balašević - O, Bože

O, Bože

Upalim radio
Da čujem gde su drugovi cenjeni
Koji su bednici na kojoj sednici
Večeras smenjeni, ugasim radio
Prelistam novine
Da vidim sta se od jutros obećava
Članovi klanovi, Gebelsi, Ždanovi
Magla i mećava
O, Bože, ti valjda znaš sta radiš
Ti imaš bolji pregled, majstore
Ali iz našeg tupog ugla izgleda gusto
O, Bože, nije da kukam da nas vadiš
Al' zapelo je negde
Treba nam tip sa iskustvom
Postoje opravdane sumnje da sam pravi genije
Samo što više nemam pojma šta bih s tim
O, zakaj nisam vanzemaljac iz SR Slovenije
Lepo mi dođe da se otcepim
U TV-dnevniku
Istočni Nemci ruše zid, 'leba ti
Ne minirati, več razmontirati
Nama če trebati
Sve ću rasprodati
Jedino neču gramofon, ostali zbogom
Znam, mogu mediji biti i bedniji
Ali ne mnogo
O, Bože, ti valjda znaš sta radiš
Ti imaš bolji pregled,legendo
Ali iz našeg tupog ugla izgleda gusto
O, Bože, nije da kukam da nas vadiš
Al' zapelo je negde
Treba nam tip sa iskustvom

O, God

I turn on the radio
To hear about my esteemed friends
Who are these wretches at which session
Replaced this evening, I switch off the radio
I leaf through the newspaper
To see what has been promised since morning
Clan members, Goebbels, Zhdanovs
Fog and blizzard
O, God, you must know what you are doing
You have a better view, master
But from our dull perspective it seems bleak
O, God, I am not begging you to save us
But it is stuck somewhere
We need someone with experience
There is a reasonable suspicion that I am a true genius
I just have no idea what I would do with it
O, why am I not an alien from the Socialist Republic of Slovenia?
It would be nice to secede
In the TV news
East Germans are tearing down the wall, oh my
Do not mine, rather dismantle it
We will need it
I will sell everything
Just keeping the record player, the rest goodbye
I know, the media can be even worse
But not by much
O, God, you must know what you are doing
You have a better view, legend
But from our dull perspective it seems bleak
O, God, I am not begging you to save us
But it is stuck somewhere
We need someone with experience
