Đorđe Balašević - Uticaj rođaka na moj životni put versuri traducere în engleză

Translation

The influence of my relatives on my life's path

Eh, if I had studied, maybe today I'd be a specialist for
cardiovascular diseases or an assistant at the biology department. Instead I
became a musician, all through the fault of some relatives...

The first time I flunked in school, my dad said:
'It's alright, it happens! Now, my son, think long and hard.
Because life doesn't play games, compare yourself to others.
All of your peers are excellent pupils, only you are at the very bottom…'

My brother Sava studied law, so they wanted me to study it too
These sorts of things made my head hurt- too much reality, too little fantasy

I didn't think that degrees were the deciding factor in life
instead, I lived as I pleased, as a beggar and as a king.
(the voice of his conscience:)
That's what happens when you dream too much and know too little of reality.
That's what happens when you spend too much time swimming through the murky waters of dreams.

The second time I flunked in school, my dad said:
'Now it's getting serious. Son, just think for a moment.
Because life doesn’t play games, compare yourself to others.
All of your peers are excellent pupils, only you are at the very bottom...'

My uncle Jova was a typesetter, so they wanted me to typeset too
I waited for new sunrises, somewhere between heaven and earth

I didn't think that degrees were the deciding factor in life
instead, I lived as I pleased, as a beggar and as a king.
(the voice of his conscience:)
That's what happens when you dream too much and know too little of reality.
That's what happens when you spend too much time swimming through the murky waters of dreams.

The third time I flunked in school, my dad was silent,
he didn't say a single word. I already knew it all.
That life doesn't play games, that I'm hurtling towards a dark abyss,
that all my peers have graduated, and I don't care much for any of it.

My uncle Živan was a bonvivant, so I wanted to be one too
To that end, I came up with a wonderful, but seemingly impossible plan

I didn't think that degrees were the deciding factor in life
instead, I lived as I pleased, as a beggar and as a king.
(the voice of his conscience:)
That's what happens when you dream too much and know too little of reality.
That's what happens when you spend too much time swimming through the murky waters of dreams.

Yeah, you're one to talk…

That's what happens when you dream too much and know too little of reality.
That's what happens when you spend too much time swimming through the murky waters of dreams.

Hey, now you're getting on my nerves.

That's what happens when you dream too much and know too little of reality.
That's what happens when you spend too much time swimming through the murky waters of dreams.

Jane Birkin - Docteur Faust versuri traducere în engleză

01.02.2025

Doctor Faust

Oh, Doctor Faust
Behind you, do you see all these years you've spent wasting your life?
It's time for you to let yourself live life

Oh, Doctor Faust
Diving like this into dead languages, that's not life
If you spend time with them, living languages will revive you

Oh, Doctor Faust
Science is a well where you drown yourself, if you want my opinion
Descend into the well of pleasure because that's life

Oh, Doctor Faust
Leave your Talmudic and astrologic studies behind
Instead, prepare a thesis on my anatomy

Oh, Doctor Faust
Throw your books away, forget Latin, smile at live
In my arms, you'll get to know love and life

Oh, Doctor Faust
I like your physique, leave physics behind, discover life
Looking together, in physical love, the meaning of life

Oh, Doctor Faust

Oh, Doctor Faust
I like your physique, leave physics behind, discover life
Looking together, in physical love, the meaning of life

Xebarkoi - A bord de l' Aspasia (A bord de l' Aspasia) versuri traducere în engleză

01.02.2025

On board of the Aspasia

You traveled in pursuit of your destiny
To white but mournful Switzerland
Always in the deck in a chez-lung downstairs
by the familiar and saddest cause

Always restlessly your folks have been prowling around
But you, staring at the wings, were indifferent
You laughed bitterly at what they said because you felt
That you were travelling to the land of death

One night when we were passing through Stroboli
You said to some laughing man in a joking tone:
'How my sick body looks as it burns,
to the flaming top of the volcano!'

Then I saw you in Marcilia as you were lost
in the noise without turning back
And I who loved only the wet expanse,
I say I could love thee

Mieczysław Fogg - Gramofonomanka versuri traducere în engleză

01.02.2025

Gramophonomaniac

In room of miss Janka
winders and curtains tremble
Like in a fury there a gramophone plays
Because miss Janka is a gramophone maniac
From morning to morning constantly plays.
Syrena’s records are still brought by miss Janka,
She puts all of her money in it and continues to sing

And I play on gramophone
trali tralalla la, trali
tralalla la
In winter at home, in the summer on the balcony
trali tralalla la, gramophone plays
And nothing worries me,
I have Syrena’s records
When something annoys me - I play on the gramophone
Because when I play on the gramophone
then in gramophone I have my all concerns

Neighbours of miss Janka, their wives and lovers declared, not being able to sleep at night:
We have enough of miss Janka,
that gramophone maniac,
the police needs to know about it
But when the officer came, miss Janka says
What to do, man, understand I’m afraid to sleep alone

And when I play on the gramophone
trali tralalla la, trali
tralalla la
In winter at home, in the summer on the balcony
trali tralalla la, gramophone plays
And nothing worries me,
I have Syrena’s records
When something annoys me then I play on the gramophone
Because when I play on the gramophone
then in gramophone I have all of my concerns

As soon as the strict officer heard it himself and wanted to give advice to the poor maiden
He says to miss Janka, that gramophone maniac
„A pity, I will sleep here”
And since then every night from miss Janka’s room
The bas of officer makes the curtains tremble

And I play on gramophone
trali tralalla la, trali
tralalla la
In winter at home, in the summer on the balcony
trali tralalla la, gramophone plays
And nothing worries me,
I have Syrena’s records
When something annoys me - I play on the gramophone
Because when I play on the gramophone
then in gramophone I have my all concerns

Riccardo Rolli - In fondo al parco versuri traducere în engleză

At the End of the Park

When sunset
makes the sky grow pale,
from the window,
I look around me.

At the end of the park, I see you
searching for me
like one evening
a year ago.

I watch you from afar and
in your hand,
there's
hidden more than one caress.

At the end of the park, I see you
running towards me,
of course,
I know it.

It's only an impression,
a trick of my heart
that makes me see
all this.

Tenderness
is something that
grows deep
in the soul.

If I remember
and if only
I think about you:

At the end of the park, I see you
searching for me
like one evening
a year ago.

I watch you from afar and
in your hand,
there's
hidden more than one caress.

At the end of the park, I see you
running towards me
and this time,
I know it.

You're no longer an impression,
a trick of my heart,
I've found
you again.

(At the end of the park, I see you
searching for me
like one evening
a year ago.)

At the end of the park, I see you
searching for me
like one evening
a year ago.

At the end of the park, I see you
searching for me...
