Текст и перевод песни Đorđe Balašević - Protina kći (Live)

Protina kći (Live)

Još sam bio sasvim mlad
Neke barske ptice sam lovio tad
Kad je došla da se kupa
Lepa protina kći
Nije znala gde sam ja
Da je gledam krišom kroz trsku i šaš
A preko reke noć je pala
Kao plašt

Mesec tinja nad vrbakom
Srebri nebom zvezda roj
A kapi vode kao biseri
Koji blistaju svud po njoj

O', srce ludo, ludi sni
Već se moji drugovi momčili svi
A ja sam hteo samo jednu
Lepu protinu kći
Čudnom pesmom zvoni drum
Te su zime svatovi došli po nju
Izdaleka, neki svet
Za mene tuđ

I baš sam prošao sokakom
Padao je prvi sneg
I još ponekad zazvone praporci
Što je odnose, ko zna gde

Da se ženim, imam kad
Ja sam, eto, ostao momak do sad
I nikad više nisam sreo
Lepu protinu kći
Jedan život - miran, tih
Nekad bacim kartu il' napišem stih
Stvari teku
Ja se držim izvan njih

I ljubim dobre, ljubim lake
Neke prave, a neke ne
I sve su vile, ma, sve su kraljice
I sve su nevažne, naspram nje

Protina kći (Live)

I was still quite young
I was hunting some bar birds then
When she came to bathe
The beautiful daughter of the mayor
She didn't know where I was
That I was watching her secretly through the reeds and rushes
And night had fallen across the river
Like a cloak

The moon flickers over the willow
A swarm of stars in the silver sky
And the water droplets like pearls
Which shine all over her

O', crazy heart, crazy dreams
My friends have already gotten married
But I only wanted one
The beautiful daughter of the mayor
The road rings with a strange song
The wedding guests have come from afar for her
A distant land
Alien to me

And I just happened to be walking down the street
The first snow was falling
And sometimes the banners still ring
Carrying her away, who knows where

I'll get married when I have time
I've stayed a bachelor up to now
And I've never seen again
The beautiful daughter of the mayor
A life - peaceful, quiet
Sometimes I play cards or write a poem
Things flow
I stay out of their way

And I love the good ones, I love the easy ones
Some real, and some not
And they're all fairies, yes, they're all queens
And they're all insignificant, compared to her
