Текст и перевод песни Đorđe Balašević - Posvađana pesma

Posvađana pesma

Sa katedrale tri puta lupilo
Dosta se zvezdica na misu skupilo
Ploćnik k'o potocić, posrebren,krivudav

Zar su se ulice ponovo smanjile
A senke brestova utanjile
Ili ja to nisam predugo prošao tuda

Rasipam korake, k'o pijan dinare
Od Mičurinove do Detelinare
Nemir me vuće njoj svojim tankim vlaknom

Možda se upravo malo odljutila
Možda je nekako naslutila
Kakva se drama odvija pod mojom jaknom

A mesec pojma nema
Matora lola drema
Jutros je lumpov'o po Kini
Dok se sa sobom borim,da tačno izgovorim
Tu tešku stranu reč - izvini

Ona me voli, znam, ok, ne suviše
Al' taman dovoljno da krišom uzdiše
Kada me tračeri ubace u šemu

Skripuču oblaci pod njenim nogama
Ne da se ludica tvrdoglava
Štaviše, piše udžbenik na istu temu

Samo je vetar sretan, vrti se k'o baletan
U svojoj sivoj pelerini
Dok moje misli traže kako se ono po naški kaže
Ta teška strana reč - izvini

A mesec pojma nema
Matora lola drema
Jutros je lumpov'o po Kini
Dok se sa sobom borim,da tačno izgovorim
Tu tešku stranu reč - izvini

Samo je vetar sretan, vrti se k'o baletan
U svojoj sivoj pelerini
Dok moje misli traže kako se ono po naški kaže
Ta teška strana reč - izvini
Izvini
Izvini

Reconciliation Song

The cathedral chimes three times
Many stars have gathered for Mass
The pavement as a stream, silvery, winding

Have the streets suddenly narrowed
And the elm tree shadows grown thinner
Or is it that I haven't passed this way for too long

I scatter my steps like a drunkard scatters dinars
From Mičurinova to Detelinara
Unease pulls me to her with its thin thread

Perhaps she has just calmed down a little
Perhaps she has somehow sensed
What a drama is unfolding under my jacket

And the moon has no idea
The old fool is dozing
This morning he was gallivanting in China
While I wrestle with myself, to pronounce correctly
That difficult foreign word - I apologize

She loves me, I know, OK, not too much
But just enough to sigh furtively
When the gossips include me in their scheme

Clouds creak under her feet
Stubborn madness does not surrender
Moreover, a textbook is being written on the same subject

Only the wind is happy, spinning like a ballet dancer
In its gray cloak
While my thoughts search for how it is said in our language
That difficult foreign word - I apologize

And the moon has no idea
The old fool is dozing
This morning he was gallivanting in China
While I wrestle with myself, to pronounce correctly
That difficult foreign word - I apologize

Only the wind is happy, spinning like a ballet dancer
In its gray cloak
While my thoughts search for how it is said in our language
That difficult foreign word - I apologize
I apologize
I apologize
