Serbian...

[Adrienne]

You're welcome, anytime
Yes its old song... I just wanted to ask you how did you find out about these songs, but you gave the answer hehe..
Are you interested in any other genre of serbian music?

[c_nisif]

Let me explain! I live in Bucharest, but I was born inResita, a city near by Timisoara, if you heard about. On the border between Romania and Serbia. So i listened serbian music a lot, i grew up with serbian music.
Last month i read about Tose's death, listened his music for the first time in my life and i liked a lot: his music, his life, all that he did to help people. I am still impressed in a positive way.
So i looked for his music, i have more than 80 songs of Tose.
I can't understand why i didn't hear about him till his death. I really don't know if Romanians hear about Tose. It sounds sad. Like i have lost something.
I would really like to listen more serbian music. If you cand recommend me, do it, pls! Thx.

and ..btw..my name is Carla ...nice to meet you!

[Spring]

oh
I had absolutely no idea Moj dilbere was sang by Divlje jagode
youtube video ~ Divlje Jagode - Moj Dilbere

And... I'm not a fan of this kind of music myself but.. there are moments when the song just "fits" and with Zeljko Bebek.. can't be bad!
youtube video ~ Halid Beslic & Zeljko Bebek - Da zna zora

PS
nice to meet you Carla!

[Adrienne]

Nice to meet you too, Carla..
Yes, its such a sad destiny that he had... He had angelic voice.. And his songs are beautiful..
What's for serbian music Carla.. Well it all depends on what kind of music you're in touch in general..
If you like some old rock i can recommend you Prljavo Kazaliste, Riblja Corba, EKV...
If you like something newer... I personally like Neverne Bebe.. Their music is so soft, and the lyrics are great.. They are mostly ballads..
Another singer that is one of my favs is definitely Djordje Balasevic ..

If you'd like something newer.. Well there is always serbian folk music.. I'm not in touch with that kind of music though, so someone else can recommend you songs of that genre

[angeliki_sr]

I could help you with any genre...
I know everything.....................

[Adrienne]

I bet you do

Ko je kriv

Kad prebacim kaput preko ramena
I istrčim na ulicu, a snijeg do koljena
I krenem polako do prve kavane
I pijem s neznancem sve dok ne svane
'Ko je kriv
'Ko je kriv

I dok trčim s jednog prozora na drugi
Kako minuti mogu biti dugi
Baš svaki šum k'o tvoj korak zvuči
Postajem sve manja u toj praznoj kući
'Ko je kriv
'Ko je kriv

Zar je važno 'ko je kriv
Dok me pitaš gdje si
Zar je važno 'ko je kriv
Kad se već sve to desi

Kad zapalim dvije cigare k'o jednu
A nepoznate cure pitaju da sjednu
A ja tražim tvoju ruku u džepu mog kaputa
I tramvaj se vuče za mnom k'o da luta
'Ko je kriv
'Ko je kriv

Kad pozvonim u zoru s vrućim kruhom ispod ruke
I poljubim te sočno, onako s puno buke
I zagrlim te čvrsto, osjetim u duši
A vrući kruh na stolu i dalje se puši
'Ko je kriv
'Ko je kriv

Zar je važno ko je kriv...

~ Whose Fault Is It

When I put my coat over my shoulder
And run out in the street, snow up to my knees
And I go slowly towards the first bar
And I drink with a stranger till it dawns
Whose fault is it
Whose fault is it

And while I'm running from one window to the other
How minutes can be long
Each and every noise sounds like your step
I'm getting smaller and smaller in the empty house
Whose fault is it
Whose fault is it

Does it matter whose fault is it
While you're asking me where am I
Does it matter whose fault is it
When all that already happened

When I light two cigarettes like one
And strange girls ask if they may sit
And I'm searching for your hand in pocket of my coat
And a tram is trailing after me as if it's wandering
Whose fault is it
Whose fault is it

When I ring at dawn, with hot bread under my arm
And kiss you juicily, you know with lots of noise
And hug you tightly, I feel in my soul

And the hot bread on the table is still steaming *

Whose fault is it
Whose fault is it

Does it matter whose fault is it...

heyy can you help translate this song for me, i sort of understand it, but there are some parts where i'm lost. Thanks!

Seka Aleksic- Aspirina

Glavobolja od vina a nigde aspirina
sinoc bila sam sa tobom pijana
na podu posteljina u sobi punoj dima
slika poznata to je prevara

Nocas bih do grada idem negde sama
decko mi je zauzet
kaze ide kod drugara mozda me i vara
znam tu pricu napamet

U diskoteci pravo ludilo
i greh se probudio
dok ti snimas me

Ma hajde pridji mi bezobrazno
jer ljubav to je prolazno
znaj ja pristajem na sve

Zelim nesto vruce nemam to kod kuce
nisam ja od kamena
a ti si tako sladak mali desetka na skali
bices dobra zamena

U diskoteci pravo ludilo
i greh se probudio
dok ti snimas me

Ma hajde pridji mi bezobrazno
jer ljubav to je prolazno
znaj ja pristajem na sve

Ne znam ti ni ime
al' ne kajem se ne
'ajde zovi taksi
ja mozda javicu ti se

[solaris]

May I pls have english translation of ZBOGOM SRBIJO, by Riblja Corba? Thanks.

Aspirin
Aspirin

Glavobolja od vina a nigde aspirina
Wine headache and there's no aspirin
sinoc bila sam sa tobom pijana
I spent last night with you drunk
na podu posteljina u sobi punoj dima
on the floor sheets in the room full of smoke
slika poznata to je prevara
well-known picture,that's trickery

Nocas bih do grada idem negde sama
Tonight I want to go downtown I'm going somewhere alone
decko mi je zauzet
my boyfriend is busy
kaze ide kod drugara mozda me i vara
he says he's going to his friend maybe he's cheating me
znam tu pricu napamet
I know that story by heart

U diskoteci pravo ludilo
Real madness in the discotheque
i greh se probudio
and sin has woken up
dok ti snimas me
while your looking at me

Ma hajde pridji mi bezobrazno
Come on approach to me impudently
jer ljubav to je prolazno
cause love is temporary
znaj ja pristajem na sve
know it,I'm accepting everything

Zelim nesto vruce nemam to kod kuce
I want somehing hot i don't have it at home
nisam ja od kamena
I'm not made of stone
a ti si tako sladak mali desetka na skali
and you're so sweet little one,10 on the scale
bices dobra zamena
you'll be a good replacement


U diskoteci pravo ludilo
Real madness in the discotheque
i greh se probudio
and sin has woken up
dok ti snimas me
while your looking at me

Ma hajde pridji mi bezobrazno
Come on approach to me impudently
jer ljubav to je prolazno
cause love is temporary
znaj ja pristajem na sve
know it,I'm accepting everything

Ne znam ti ni ime
I don't know even your name
al' ne kajem se ne
but I'm not regretting,no
'ajde zovi taksi
come on call the cab
ja mozda javicu ti se
maybe I'll call you later

Wow!I gotta say gv84,you're so well informed!This song is brand new!

[angeliki_sr]

Gore sa mosta gledam u Savu
Up there from the bridge I'm looking at Sava river
Bacam u vodu dusu i glavu
I'm throwing to water both soul and head
Pobednik gleda s Kalemegdana
The victor* is looking from Kalemegdan
A ja sam vojnik i topovska hrana
And I'm a soldier and food for cannons

Ja pojma nemam dal' cu da se vratim
I don't have idea whether I'll return
Ili cu mozda glavom da platim
Or maybe I'll pay with my head
Platicu svoja neplacena konta
I will pay my unpayed bills
Cim se dokopam novog sremskog fronta
As soon as I get my hands on the new front of Srem

Ja idem da pucam, da ginem
I'm going to shoot to get killed
Da tudju glavu skinem
To cut someone's head down
To
That
Srbijo
Serbia

Ja idem i zbogom i zdravo
I'm going and so long and goodbye
A da li imam pravo
But do I have the right?
Srbijo
Serbia

Srbija
Serbia

Zbogom, Srbijo
So long,Serbia

Nemam, nemam snage
da izgovorim
tvoje ime vise nikada
ma ne vredi
nemam, nemam volje
da zaboravim
mozda samo kada ostarim
sve izbledi

Ne mogu vise, veruj mi
da vidim, a da ne vidim
da cujem, a da ne cujem
i da ti verujem

Ref.
Ko je ona devojka
smeje ti se stalno
kazes da je poznajes
iz vidjenja samo

Ne pravi se naivan
i ne gledaj me belo
ja i tvoju dusu znam
a ona samo telo

Nije, nije moje da presujudjem
znam da nista ti ne dugujem
to je vazno
hajde, daj da se podvuce linija
ionako mi se cini da sve je lazno

Ne mogu vise, veruj mi
da vidim, a da ne vidim
da cujem, a da ne cujem
i da ti verujem

NE LOMITE MI BAGRENJE

Verujem cenjeni sude
Da dobro poznaješ ljude
Vi barem imate posla
Jer cud je cud, a sud je sud
Verujem cenjena glavo da si i ucio pravo
Da svakom sudiš pošteno
Jer cast je cast, a vlast je vlast
I sve po zakonu, za to sam prvi
Ne bi bilo ove krvi da je bilo sve po zakonu
Vlast je vlast i ja to poštujem
Tu su paragrafi, pa zagrabi
Nek' isto je i djavolu i djakonu
Pa nek' se zna
Nek' su mi gazili njivom
Mojom se sladili šljivom
Uvek je lopova bilo
Jer cuk je cuk i vuk je vuk
Nikada zlotvora dosta
Suša mi uništi bostan
I led se prospe pred žetvu
Al' led je led, a red je red
I prekardašilo
Im'o sam bagremovu šumu
Tamo dole prema drumu
Pa sam cekao, red je red
Polako komšije
Ne može samo da se udje, da se ruši tudje
Lepo sam im rekao
Ne lomite mi bagrenje
Bez njih ce me vetrovi oduvati
Pustite ih moraju mi cuvati
Jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati
Ne lomite mi bagrenje
Pod njima sam je ljubio
Bosonogu i odbeglu od sna
Ljudi smo cenjeni sude
Pa neka bude šta bude
Žao mi je marama crnih
Al' plac je plac, a mac je mac
Ne pitaj šta bi sad' bilo
Kad' bi se ponovo zbilo
Ne pitaj da li se kajem
Jer jed je jed, a red je red
I sve po zakonu
Tu su paragrafi
Pa zagrabi pošteno i za veru i za neveru
Red je red, sve ja to poštujem
Jer više bilo bi ubica nego ptica
Koje odlecu ka severu
Ne lomite mi bagrenje
Bez njih ce me vetrovi oduvati
Pustite ih, moraju mi cuvati
Jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati
Ne lomite mi bagrenje
Pod njima sam je ljubio
O, zar moram da vam ponovim
Okanite se njih, jer sve cu da vas polomim

Thanks in advance+++!!!

[Adrienne]

Nemam, nemam snage
I HAVE NO STRENGTH
da izgovorim
TO SAY
tvoje ime vise nikada
YOUR NAME EVER AGAIN
ma ne vredi
IT'S NOT WORTH
nemam, nemam volje
I HAVE NO WILL
da zaboravim
TO FOGRET
mozda samo kada ostarim
MAYBE WHEN I GROW OLD
sve izbledi
EVERYTHING FADES OUT

Ne mogu vise, veruj mi
I CANT DO IT ANYMORE, BELIEVE ME
da vidim, a da ne vidim
TO SEE AND NOT TO SEE
da cujem, a da ne cujem
TO HEAR AND NOT TO HEAR
i da ti verujem
AND TO BELIEVE IN YOU

Ref.
Ko je ona devojka
WHO'S THAT GIRL
smeje ti se stalno
SHE SMILES AT YOU ALL THE TIME
kazes da je poznajes
YOU SAY YOU'RE JUST
iz vidjenja samo
SEEING HER AROUND

Ne pravi se naivan
DONT PRETEND YOU'RE NAIVE
i ne gledaj me belo
AND DONT LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT
ja i tvoju dusu znam
I KNOW YOUR SOUL
a ona samo telo
AND SHE ONLY KNOWS YOUR BODY

Nije, nije moje da presujudjem
NO, IT'S NOT UP TO ME TO JUDGE
znam da nista ti ne dugujem
I KNOW I DONT OWE YOU ANYTHING
to je vazno
THAT'S IMPORTANT
hajde, daj da se podvuce linija
COME ONE, LETS DRAW THE LINE
ionako mi se cini da sve je lazno
EITHER WAY I FEEL EVERYTHING IS FAKE

Ne mogu vise, veruj mi
I CANT DO IT ANYMORE, BELIEVE ME
da vidim, a da ne vidim
TO SEE AND NOT T OSEE
da cujem, a da ne cujem
TO HEAR AND NOT TO HEAR
i da ti verujem
AND TO BELIEVE IN YOU

Don't pretend to be naive

[Adrienne]

Lol it's okay sweety

[Adrienne]

Verujem cenjeni sude
I BELIEVE, YOUR HONOUR
Da dobro poznaješ ljude
THAT YOU YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE WELL
Vi barem imate posla
AT LEAST YOU HAVE WORK TO DO
Jer cud je cud, a sud je sud
BECAUSE THE TEMPER IS TEMPER, AND THE COURT IS COURT
Verujem cenjena glavo da si i ucio pravo
I BELIEVE YOUR HONOUR THAT YOU'VE BEEN STUDIED LAW
Da svakom sudiš pošteno
TO JUDGE EVRYONE FAIR
Jer cast je cast, a vlast je vlast
BECAUSE HONOR IS HONOR, AND POWER IS POWER
I sve po zakonu, za to sam prvi
AND EVERYTHING BY THE LAW, I SUPPORT THAT
Ne bi bilo ove krvi da je bilo sve po zakonu
THERE WOULDNT BE THIS BLOOD IF EVERYTHING WAS BY THE LAW
Vlast je vlast i ja to poštujem
POWER IS POWER AND I RESPECT THAT
Tu su paragrafi, pa zagrabi
PARAGRAPHS ARE THERE, YOU TAKE THEM
Nek' isto je i djavolu i djakonu
AND LET IT BE THE SAME FOR THE DEVIL AND FOR THE DEACON
Pa nek' se zna
SO LET THEM KNOW
Nek' su mi gazili njivom
I DONT CARE THAT THEY STEP OVER MY FIELD
Mojom se sladili šljivom
AND ATE MY PLUMS
Uvek je lopova bilo
THERE WERE ALWAYS THIEVES
Jer cuk je cuk i vuk je vuk
BECAUSE OWL IS OWL, AND THE WOLF IF WOLF
Nikada zlotvora dosta
THERE ARE TOO MANY BAD PEOPLE
Suša mi uništi bostan
THE DROUGHT HAS DISTROYED MY MELONS
I led se prospe pred žetvu
AND THE ICE COVERED IT BEFORE THE HARVEST
Al' led je led, a red je red
BUT THE ICE IS THE ICE, AND ORDER IS ORDER
I prekardašilo
AND I GOT ENOUGH OF IT
Im'o sam bagremovu šumu
I ONLY HAD BLACK LOCUST* WOOD
Tamo dole prema drumu
DOWN THERE TO THE ROAD
Pa sam cekao, red je red
SO I WAITED, BECAUSE IT WAS RIGHT THING TO DO
Polako komšije
TAKE IT EASY, NEIGHBOURS
Ne može samo da se udje, da se ruši tudje
YOU CANT JUST ENTER, AND BREAK WHAT ISNT YOURS
Lepo sam im rekao
I TOLD THEM, NICELY
Ne lomite mi bagrenje
DONT BREAK MY TREES
Bez njih ce me vetrovi oduvati
WINDS WILL BLOW ME AWAY WITHOUT THEM
Pustite ih moraju mi cuvati
LET THEM ALONE, THEY HAVE TO KEEP FOR ME
Jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati
ONE SECRET, GOLD AS DUCATS
Ne lomite mi bagrenje
DONT BREAK MY TREES
Pod njima sam je ljubio
I KISSED HER THERE
Bosonogu i odbeglu od sna
BAREFOOT, RUNAWAY FROM SLEEP
