Текст и перевод песни Elemental - Zašto Te Imam

Zašto Te Imam

Stavljali su plakate sa nekom pametnom frazom, tvoje
Lice sa kravatom i nekim polu-tupim izrazom
Američkim smiješkom, onako ni vrit ni mimo, nakon
Dva'est dana nacrtane brkove ti bi im'o
Al' prošlo je - i mi smo popušili spiku, dali ti
Taj prokleti glas na lijepe oči, valjda na sliku smo
Pali - ti si se dočepo fotelje, ušo u
Sabor, šutio, pustio da neko drugi melje
Ušo bi u dvoranu kad rekli bi "dižu se ruke" preko
Veze u neki upravni odbor upao bez muke
Plaća je rasla, u saboru nisi reko ništa
Radije cijeli dan u kantini uz dva gemišta
Riješio si za stranca neke građevinske dozvole, od
Grada da dobije zemlju da shopping centar otvore
Uzeo si proviziju, kupio stan u gradu, imao
Jako skup auto za ić' na sjednicu u vladu
Kolotečina te uzela, fino si se uljuljao, u samo
Nekoliko godina daleko si dogurao od
Običnog činovnika, kroz rat u mjesnoj zajednici,
U civilnoj zaštiti do stranke pa u središnjici, pa
Eto ti izbori – sugrađani vole te, sad
Tu si di jesi, ma dobro je, ma boli te
Tu si di jesi, ma dobro je, ma boli te
Tu si di jesi, ma jebo narod, boli te...

Zašto te imam kad ne daješ mi ništa
Zašto te imam kada ne čuješ moj glas
Da li padnem koji put ja na pamet

Dal' ikad staneš malo pomisliš na nas?

Tko bi rek'o, kako je vrijeme proteklo dok si uživao

Evo opet izbora, opet si se kandidirao.

I kupio medije, izlijeto iz pašteta

Nastupao pod sloganom "Izbacimo što narodu smeta"

A zapravo, nisi znao što se zbivalo,

Zaglibio si preduboko da bi razlučivao.

Al' još jedna pobjeda i zastupnički honorar,

Iz oporbe i stranke svi su skandirali "Ti si car"

Bio si u odborima, rezo vrpce crvene

Radio ispod radara uz mito i koverte.

Milijuni kuna na računu se talože,

Svi te mole za pomoć, uz tvoj potpis sve se može

Ulizivo se tajkunima, ljubio si satove,

Prodao si dignitet za drago kamenje

Zavarao si narod, pokazao im srednjak

A oni su mislili da si poštenjak

On je prekrasan čovjek i radišan idealist
A prije par godina najžešći komunist
On se bori za narod i kaže da je humanist
A na naš trošak on je hedonist.

Al je stislo, ti mediji, teško ih kontrolirat
Počeli čačkat i kopat tamo di se ne smije dirat
Nekom obrve se digle, Uskok upetljao prste
Ali ne mogu ništa, nemaju dokaze čvrste

Izgubio si razum, gramzivo grabio za sebe
Ne daj Bože da masa digne glas protiv tebe.
Otpuhivao si cigaru s prozora urbane vile bez papira
Nedodirljiv gad bez duševnog mira.
Stolac ti se zatreso zbog istražnog zahtjeva
I afere izgrađenog shopping centra bez dozvola
Uz povlačenje veza, zataškalo se sve,
Vrijeme liječi rane, ljudi brzo zaborave.

REFREN

Why Do I Have You

They put up posters with some clever phrase, your
Face with a tie and a half-stupid expression
An American smile, neither here nor there, after
Twenty days you would have had a drawn-on mustache
But it passed - and we fell for the talk, gave you
That damn vote based on pretty eyes, I guess we
Fell for the image - you got to the armchair, entered the
Parliament, kept silent, let someone else grind
You would enter the hall when they said "hands are raised" through
Connections you got into some management board without effort
The salary grew, you didn't say anything in parliament
Rather all day in the canteen with two gemišts
You solved some building permits for a foreigner, from
The city to get land for a shopping center to open
You took a commission, bought an apartment in the city, had
A very expensive car to go to a government meeting
The rut took you, you lulled yourself nicely, in just
A few years you've come a long way from
An ordinary clerk, through the war in the local community,
In civil protection to the party and then in the headquarters, so
Here are the elections – your fellow citizens love you, now
You are where you are, well it's good, you don't care
You are where you are, well it's good, you don't care
You are where you are, fuck the people, you don't care...

Why do I have you when you give me nothing
Why do I have you when you don't hear my voice
Do I ever cross your mind

Do you ever stop and think about us?

Who would have thought how time flew by while you enjoyed yourself

Here are the elections again, you've run again.

And bought the media, poured out of the pate

Performed under the slogan "Let's throw out what bothers the people"

But in fact, you didn't know what was going on,

You were too deep in the mud to distinguish.

But another victory and a parliamentary fee,

From the opposition and the party everyone chanted "You are the king"

You were on committees, cutting red ribbons

Worked under the radar with bribes and envelopes.

Millions of kuna are deposited in the account,

Everyone begs you for help, with your signature everything is possible

You were sucking up to tycoons, kissing watches,

You sold your dignity for precious stones

You deceived the people, showed them the middle finger

And they thought you were an honest man

He is a wonderful person and a hardworking idealist
And a few years ago the most ardent communist
He fights for the people and says he is a humanist
And at our expense he is a hedonist.

But it's tight, those media, it's hard to control them
They started digging and digging where you shouldn't touch
Someone's eyebrows went up, Uskok got involved
But they can't do anything, they don't have solid evidence

You lost your mind, greedily grabbing for yourself
God forbid the masses raise their voices against you.
You blew cigar smoke from the window of an urban villa without papers
An untouchable bastard without peace of mind.
Your chair shook because of the investigation request
And the affair of the built shopping center without permits
With the withdrawal of connections, everything was covered up,
Time heals wounds, people quickly forget.
