Текст и перевод песни Rambo Amadeus - Beton

Beton

Da se pitam ja bih betonir'o travu,
I ofarb'o tamno braon svaku vodu plavu.
Nekako bih probušio tanki sloj ozona,
A zemlju bih zaštitio kesom od najlona.

Beton beton samo beton, beton nama treba,
Jer iz trave nonšalantno ljuta zmija vreba.

Da se pitam ja bih osjek'o sve šume,
A za ukras postavio od traktora gume,
Kiselinom ja bih zemlju navodnjav'o,
A đecu bi svakog dana rentgenom slikav'o!

Beton beton samo beton, beton đeci treba,
Jer iz trave nonšalantno alergija vreba.

Da se pitam na sred grada ložio bih kazan,
Svako bi mi jeo, zna se, ručak jednobrazan.
Praznikom bih instalir'o oko glave lovor,
I narodu održao slijedeći govor:

Beton beton samo beton, beton nama treba,
Jer iz trave nonšalantno ljuta zmija vreba.

Concrete

Babe, I wonder if I should concrete the grass,
And paint every stretch of blue water a deep brown.
Somehow I would pierce the thin layer of ozone,
But I would protect the earth with a nylon bag.

Concrete, concrete, just concrete, we need concrete,
Because venomous snakes lurk nonchalantly in the grass.

Babe, I wonder if I should cut down all the forests,
And as a decoration use tires from tractors,
I would irrigate the ground with acid,
And every day I would X-ray the children!

Concrete, concrete, just concrete, children need concrete,
Because allergies lurk nonchalantly in the grass.

Babe, I wonder if in the middle of the city I would put a cauldron on the fire,
Everyone would eat my food, of course, a monotonous lunch.
On holidays, I would put laurel around my head,
And deliver the following speech to the nation:

Concrete, concrete, just concrete, we need concrete,
Because venomous snakes lurk nonchalantly in the grass.
