Paroles et traduction Đorđe Balašević - Remorker

Remorker

Dolaze snegovi.
Ne vredi, sve više i više mi smetaju studeni.
U kosu me nežno k′o sedefnu šnalicu udeni,
To mi treba,
Moj mali zaklon ispod neba.

Otkači šlepove,
Nanišani jutro i pusti tu lađu da klizi.
Pronašli su Ameri šifru za to:
"Take it easy", lutko lepa.
Zrela se breskva nebom cepa.

Spusti svetla, oduzmi gas.
Smešnih stvari se bojimo.
Misliš da neko pita za nas?
Kao da ne postojimo.

Stavi misli u prazan hod,
Stresi zvezde k'o dudove.
I polako nasuči brod
Na te plišane sprudove.
I sanjaj...

Odlaze selice.
Lepršaju malena jedra po nebeskoj pučini.
Taj odlazak gusaka uvek me starijim učini
Put do raja,
O, zar je uzvodno do kraja?

Spusti svetla, oduzmi gas.
Smešnih stvari se bojimo.
Misliš da neko pita za nas?
Kao da ne postojimo.

Stavi misli u prazan hod,
Stresi zvezde k′o dudove.
I polako nasuči brod
Na te plišane sprudove.
I sanjaj...

Tugboat

Snows are coming.
It's no use, the colder weather is starting to get to me.
It softly falls into my hair like a nacreous barrette,
That's what I need,
My little shelter under the sky.

Unhook the barges,
Greet the morning and let that ship sail away.
The Americans have found the code for it:
"Take it easy", beautiful doll.
A ripe peach cracks open in the sky.

Dim the lights, slow down.
We're afraid of funny things.
Do you think anyone cares about us?
It's as if we don't exist.

Shift your thoughts into neutral,
Brush the stars down like mulberries.
And slowly run the boat aground
On those plush sandbars.
And dream...

Migratory birds are leaving.
They unfurl their tiny sails in the heavenly expanse.
That departure of the geese always makes me feel older
The path to paradise,
Oh, would that it were upstream to the end?

Dim the lights, slow down.
We're afraid of funny things.
Do you think anyone cares about us?
It's as if we don't exist.

Shift your thoughts into neutral,
Brush the stars down like mulberries.
And slowly run the boat aground
On those plush sandbars.
And dream...
