Текст песни и перевод на английский Đorđe Balašević - Pred Zadnji Sneg

Pred Zadnji Sneg

Kad zadnju brazdu zaorem
Po tragu senke rodine
Procvace zimske ruzice
Po prvi put te godine

Naice studen atarom
Kao regiment oklopni
I bicu samo mirna vlat
Kad okopni

Ja nemam nigdi nikoga
Al' moja prica prosta je
Stogod ih manje zavoles
Manje ti njih nedostaje

I nisam kadar svindlati
Za sobom skele paliti
Da silom steknem nekog
Kom cu faliti

Znam, duso, obeco sam da te necu pominjati
Bogarati i sudbinu proklinjati
U varos se preseliti
Orcati i veselit
Obeco sam srca teska
Obeco sam, al' jebes ga

Kad zadnji cokot zagrnem
Pod skute Svetog Damjana
U bokal bistre plemenke zapasce trunka tamjana

Strahovi mladi umiru
Pricu sam kraju priveo
Jos onda kada sam
I njih nadziveo

Znam, mila, obeco sam da cu makar
Za bestiju
I da cu naci lepsu, bolju i vestiju
Nemeskinju, gospodicnu
Ni po cemu tebi slicnu
Obeco sam srca teska
Obeco sam, al' jebes ga

I utom pasce i zadnji sneg
Preko svih prvih snegova
A perce andjela je teg
Spram svih zemaljskih tegova

Spreman je Onaj varati
Olovni kantar skovati
Al' danas vise ne bih trebo psovati

Until the Last Snow

When I furrow the last furrow
Following the trace of my homeland's shadow
Winter roses will bloom
For the first time in those years

Cold approaches like a blizzard
Like an armored regiment
And I will be only a peaceful stalk
When it recedes

I have no one anywhere
But my story is simple
The less I love them
The less I miss them

And I'm not able to cheat
To burn bridges behind me
To forcibly gain someone
Who would miss me

I know, my darling, I promised I wouldn't mention you
To bug you and curse our destiny
To move to the city
To till the soil and be happy
I promised with a heavy heart
I promised, but fuck it

When I draw the last gasp
Under the embrace of Saint Damjan
A drop of pure brandy will fall into the bottle of incense

Young fears die
I have brought the story to an end
Even back then when
I outlived them

I know, my dear, I promised at least
To become a beast
And that I would find someone nicer, better, and fairer
A lady, a gentlewoman
Not resembling you in any way
I promised with a heavy heart
I promised, but fuck it

And suddenly the last snow falls
Over all the first snows
And the feather of an angel is light
Compared to all earthly weights

He is ready to deceive
To forge a lead scale
But today I wouldn't need to curse anymore
