Текст и перевод песни Rade Šerbedžija - Uzalud Je Budim

Uzalud Je Budim

Budim je zbog sunca
Koje objasnjava sebe biljkama
Zbog neba razapetog izmedju prstiju
Budim je zbog reci
Koje peku grlo, volim je usima
Treba ici do kraja sveta
I naci rosu na travi
Budim je zbog dalekih stvari
Koje lice na ove ovde
Zbog ljudi koji bez cela
I imena prolaze ulicom
Zbog anonimnih reci, trgova
Budim je zbog manufakturnih pejzaza,
Javnih parkova
Budim je zbog ove nase planete
Koja ce mozda biti mina
U raskrvavljenom nebu
Zbog osmeha u kamenu
Drugova zaspalih izmedju dve bitke
Kada nebo nije bilo vise
Veliki kavez za ptice nego aerodrom
Moja ljubav puna drugih
Je deo zore koju budim
Budim je zbog zore, zbog ljubavi,
Zbog sebe, zbog drugih
Budim je, mada je to uzaludnije
Negoli dozivati pticu zauvek sletelu

Sigurno je rekla neka me trazi
I vidi da me nema
Ta zena sa rukama deteta,
Koju volim
To dete koje je zaspalo
Ne obrisavsi suze koje budim
Uzalud, uzalud, uzalud
Uzalud je budim
Jer ce se probuditi
Drukcija i nova,
Uzalud je budim
Jer njena usta
Nece moci da joj kazu
Uzalud je budim
Ti znas, voda protice,
Ali ne kaze nista
Uzalud je budim
Treba obecati izgubljenom imenu
Necije lice u pesku

Ako nije tako odsecite mi ruke
I pretvorite me u kamen

Budapest is in Vain

I wake up for the sun
That explains itself to plants
For the sky crucified between fingers
I wake up for rivers
That burn my throat, I like them with my ears
You have to go to the end of the world
And find dew on the grass
I wake up for distant things
That put a face on these things
For people who pass through the streets
Without a whole or a name
For anonymous words, markets
I wake up for industrial landscapes,
Public parks
I wake up for this planet of ours
That will perhaps become a mine
In a bloody sky
For smiles in the stone
Comrades fallen asleep between two battles
When the sky was no longer
A big cage for birds but an airport
My love full of others
Is part of the dawn I wake up to
I wake up for dawn, for love,
For myself, for others
I wake up, though it is more useless
Than calling a bird that has flown away forever

She must have said that someone is looking for me
And sees that I am not there
That woman with the hands of a child,
Whom I love
That child who has fallen asleep
Without wiping away the tears that wake me up
In vain, in vain, in vain
It is in vain that I wake her up
Because she will wake up
Different and new,
It is in vain that I wake her up
Because her lips
Will not be able to tell her
It is in vain that I wake her up
You know, water flows,
But it doesn't say anything
It is in vain that I wake her up
You have to promise a lost name
Someone's face in the sand

If that is not the case cut off my hands
And turn me into stone
