Текст и перевод песни Beogradski Sindikat - Jednostavnost I Suština

Jednostavnost I Suština

Kontrola, disciplina, su-uzdržavanje
Naša reč je ma-mač od čelika, a mi-ti-mi-si-mi-si-misli sablja britka

Na vatri i dimu mi smo-mi smo ka-ka-ka-ka-kalili veštinu
Shva-shva-shvatili suštinu

Mnoge prošle su godine, a vodilje mudrost i ljubav
Bile su stotine puta kada su me smorile svuda
I nagrade i kritike, volja ljuta mi je oružje
Kada sam borim se dok kidam, stojim ispred zida
Masa poglede k'o kuršume sipa
Telima k'o štitom brani me ekipa
Svi za jednog – Sindikat, ako neko te pita
Mnogi prošli su sati, ja radov'o se – shvati
Jednostavnost i suštinu – njih smatrao drugarima

Koje sam upoznao u stvarima meni važnima
Od tada tražim ih stalno jer sam posle druge upoznavao
Sa njima se smarao da bih svima stvarao
Da bih više imao i više proživeo
Da bih jednog dana stao, da bih se zapitao
Je l' sam mnogo hteo, a više sam dao i bilo mi žao
Jer račune svodim tek kad prošle su godine
To tada nisam znao, do sada nisam znao

Nikad ne zaboravljam šta predstavljam, ne stajem – nastavljam
S' onim što zastupam pesme da sastavljam
Ja sam onaj što ga niko ne razume
Uvek idem težim putem, al' drugačije ne umem
A i neću, ja u mraku palim sveću
Znam ko sam, znam gde ću, svako gradi svoju sreću
Svako ide svojim putem – često putevi se sreću
Pojavljuju se novi, al' svojim nastaviti pre ću

Ja i u pustinji sam spreman dane da provedem
Jer prečicama mogu samo sebe da zajebem
Gde god da krenem – sa mnom moji ljudi, svet u malom
Gde god da skrenem biće ono sve do čega mi je stalo
Što vidim k'o realnost, što vidim kao san
Što vidim kao gatara kad pogleda u dlan

I ništa mi ne promakne, uvek u suštinu proniknem
Čega god se dotaknem, uvek do kraja ostajem
Veran sebi, veram svojima
Al' to sam samo ja i tako stvari poimam
Nisam sam – nebesa su nas spojila
Da sada ritmovi odzvanjaju iz podruma

Znaš šta
Da kidam ja nikada neću prestati
I sve će tad nestati – za mnom ostaće rima
Baš ta
Da svima jasno kaže za snove naše
Da nikad ne odustajemo – to je suština

Znaš šta
Da kidam ja nikada neću prestati
I sve će tad nestati – za mnom ostaće rima
Baš ta
Da svima jasno kaže za snove naše
Da nikad ne odustajemo – to je suština

Još uvek srećan se sećam o čemu mašt'o sam nekad
Misli bile su bezdan, ja sam krotio vetar
Tad je trebao jedan samo mikrofon, bit
Sve je počelo s' tim, kad će prestati – ne znam
To je sve što ja imam i što nikome ne dam
I još uvek sam žedan znanja, pa šetam tada snovima
Poljima, kojima lutam da nađem to što znači mi
To malo sreće, nade, koji snovi daće mi

Šta će mi doneti – ne znam, al' sam spreman da čekam
S' mašte plaštom obavijen, vrebam poteze, predan
I sa tim tražim način da zagonetku rešim
Stalno k'o u potrazi za gralom
Pa je rušim, slažem ponovo, lepim k'o staklo slomljeno
Uz svo vreme ovog sveta – to mi nije dovoljno
I zato priznaću da svet koji stvaram nije stvaran
Biće teško uspeti i preći taj prag

Al' zato probaću bar sa ekipom, našim tripom
Porukom sjajnom k'o zvezda nebom ostaviću trag
I zato priznaću da svet koji stvaram nije stvaran
Biće teško uspeti i preći taj prag
Al' zato probaću bar sa ekipom, našim tripom
Porukom sjajnom k'o zvezda nebom ostaviću trag!

Znaš šta
Da kidam ja nikada neću prestati
I sve će tad nestati – za mnom ostaće rima

Jednostavnost i suština ona nikad nije bila
Moja istina se sakrila od pogleda i dodira
Tražim je – nemam mira, tražim je dok mi svira
Vetar na uvo, a noć mi šapuće priče o njoj
Istina je kriva što pijem, otrovna k'o zmija se krije
Dok ja rijem asfalt u potrazi za njom
Na kraju i kažu da samo potraga ostaje
A meni preostaje da se opustim i prepustim putu

U toj jednačini meni ipak nešto nedostaje
Jer iako tako prosto je ipak ne uspeva da ublaži tugu
To što fali – to ja tražim da je ublažim barem na tren
I da skrenem s' puta sutra i da ostanem izgubljen
I da zastranim u navici imam spreman manevar
Kojim ne gubim trag nikad one kojoj pesme pevam
I kad me vidiš, ona iskra u mom oku koja sjaji
To je plamen čežnje za istinom koju samo smrt gasi
Rasplamsava ga vino u noćima što traju
A muzika je benzin koji dolivam na vatru!

Znaš šta
Da kidam ja nikada neću prestati
I sve će tad nestati – za mnom ostaće rima
Baš ta
Da svima jasno kaže za snove naše
Da nikad ne odustajemo – to je suština

Znaš šta
Da kidam ja nikada neću prestati
I sve će tad nestati – za mnom ostaće rima
Baš ta
Da svima jasno kaže za snove naše
Da nikad ne odustajemo – to je suština

Simplicity And Essence

Control, discipline, restraint
Our word is a steel sword, and our thoughts a sharp saber

In fire and smoke, we forged our skill
We understood the essence

Many years have passed, guided by wisdom and love
There were hundreds of times when they bored me everywhere
Both awards and criticism, fierce will is my weapon
When I fight, I fight till I break, I stand before the wall
The crowd showers gazes like bullets
My crew protects me with their bodies like a shield
All for one - Syndicate, if anyone asks you
Many hours have passed, I rejoiced - understand
Simplicity and essence - I considered them friends

Which I met in things important to me
Since then, I've been constantly searching for them because I've met others after
I got bored with them to create for everyone
So I could have more and experience more
So that one day I would stop, so I would ask myself
Did I want a lot, but gave more and felt sorry
Because I only settle accounts when years have passed
I didn't know that then, I didn't know that until now

I never forget what I represent, I don't stop - I continue
With what I advocate, to compose songs
I'm the one nobody understands
I always take the harder path, but I don't know any other way
And I won't, I light a candle in the dark
I know who I am, I know where I'm going, everyone builds their own happiness
Everyone goes their own way - often paths meet
New ones appear, but I'll continue on my own

I'm ready to spend days even in the desert
Because with shortcuts I can only screw myself over
Wherever I go - my people are with me, a world in miniature
Wherever I turn, it will be everything I care about
What I see as reality, what I see as a dream
What I see like a fortune teller when she looks into the palm of my hand

And nothing escapes me, I always penetrate the essence
Whatever I touch, I always stay till the end
True to myself, true to my own
But that's just me and that's how I perceive things
I'm not alone - the heavens have brought us together
So now rhythms echo from the basement

You know what
I will never stop rocking
And everything will disappear then - the rhyme will remain after me
The very one
To clearly tell everyone about our dreams
That we never give up - that's the essence

You know what
I will never stop rocking
And everything will disappear then - the rhyme will remain after me
The very one
To clearly tell everyone about our dreams
That we never give up - that's the essence

I still happily remember what I used to dream about
Thoughts were an abyss, I tamed the wind
Back then all I needed was a microphone, a beat
It all started with that, when it will end - I don't know
That's all I have and what I won't give to anyone
And I'm still thirsty for knowledge, so I wander through dreams
Through fields, which I roam to find what means something to me
That little bit of happiness, hope, which dreams will give me

What it will bring me - I don't know, but I'm ready to wait
Wrapped in the cloak of imagination, I watch the moves, devoted
And with that I look for a way to solve the riddle
Constantly like in search of the grail
So I break it, put it back together, glue it like broken glass
With all the time in this world - it's not enough for me
And so I'll admit that the world I'm creating isn't real
It will be hard to succeed and cross that threshold

But that's why I'll at least try with the crew, our trip
With a message shining like a star in the sky, I'll leave a mark
And so I'll admit that the world I'm creating isn't real
It will be hard to succeed and cross that threshold
But that's why I'll at least try with the crew, our trip
With a message shining like a star in the sky, I'll leave a mark!

You know what
I will never stop rocking
And everything will disappear then - the rhyme will remain after me

Simplicity and essence, it never was
My truth hid from sight and touch
I'm looking for it - I have no peace, I'm looking for it while it plays
The wind whispers in my ear, and the night whispers stories about it
The truth is to blame for my drinking, poisonous as a snake it hides
While I dig up the asphalt looking for it
In the end, they say that only the search remains
And I'm left to relax and surrender to the path

In that equation, I'm still missing something
Because even though it's so simple, it still fails to ease the sadness
What's missing - I'm looking for it to ease it at least for a moment
And to stray from the path tomorrow and remain lost
And to go astray in habit, I have a maneuver ready
With which I never lose track of the one I sing songs to
And when you see me, that spark in my eye that shines
That's the flame of longing for the truth that only death extinguishes
Wine fans it in the nights that last
And music is the gasoline I pour on the fire!

You know what
I will never stop rocking
And everything will disappear then - the rhyme will remain after me
The very one
To clearly tell everyone about our dreams
That we never give up - that's the essence

You know what
I will never stop rocking
And everything will disappear then - the rhyme will remain after me
The very one
Da svima jasno kaže za snove naše
That we never give up - that's the essence
