Текст и перевод песни Đorđe Balašević - Marim Ja...

Marim Ja...

Najbolje godine ovog života mog
Sjajne i rđave
Samo su kliznule k′o sila Dunava
Pod senkom Tvrđave
Godine lavova, vina i makova
Prošle su lagano
K'o carski porućnik
Mlad i uobražen, sa svojom draganom
Al′ marim ja
To su samo kapi vremena
Prosute k'o šaka semena
Po širokoj njivi gospodnjoj
O, marim ja,
Gde su sada davni nemiri
Razigrani beli leptiri
Dani zvezda poklonjeni njoj, zauvek
Veliki datumi, čekani
Cifrani kružićem crvenim
Tiho su minuli k'o oblak pamućni
Nad tornjem crkvenim
Najbolje godine ovog života mog
Prošle su podmuklo
Malo sam zastao
Loše ih društvo več zauvek odvuklo
Al′ marim ja
To su samo kapi vremena
Prosute k′o šaka semena
Po širokoj njivi gospodnjoj
O, marim ja
Gde su sada davni nemiri
Razigrani beli leptiri
Vreme zvezda poklonjeno njoj
Bolje nije moglo

I Don't Care...

The best years of my life
Good and bad
Just glided away like the powerful Danube
Under the shadow of the Fortress
Years of lions, wine, and poppies
Passed by easily
Like a royal lieutenant
Young and conceited, with my beloved
But I don't care
They are just drops of time
Scattered like a handful of seeds
Across the Lord's vast field
Oh, I don't care,
Where are the old unrest
Playful white butterflies
Days of stars given to her, forever
Great dates, awaited
Circled in red
They passed by quietly like a cottony cloud
Over the church tower
The best years of my life
Passed by treacherously
I paused for a while
Bad company had forever carried them away
But I don't care
They are just drops of time
Scattered like a handful of seeds
Across the Lord's vast field
Oh, I don't care
Where are the old unrest
Playful white butterflies
Time of stars given to her
It couldn't have been better
