Gdje sam rođen tu je sve sirotinja
Where I`m born everything is poor
Vuk je u nas domaća životinja
Where we live the wolf is domestic animal
Škrta zemlja nikoga ne hrani
Cheap soil doesn`t feed anybody
Da preživiš moraš radit vani
You`ll have to work abroad to survive
Šljakao sam ja u tuđoj zemlji
I have walked around in the foreigner countries
Sanjao sam o voljenoj ženi
I have dreamed about beloved woman
Sa arbajta kad bih doša doma
When I came back from work
Gledao sam kako raste ona
I looked how she grows
Mislio sam sreću kupit novcem
I tought I could by happyness with money
Sredio sam stvar sa njenim ocem
I sorted out the thing with her father
Prenesoh je preko kućnog praga
I carried her over the doorstep
Mislio sam da biće moja draga
I tought that she would be my darling
Rekla mi je prvo veče, rekla mi je sve
She told me the first night, she told me everything
Možeš imat moje tijelo, ali dušu ne
You can have my body, but never my soul
Samo tijelo ništa mi ne znači
The body doesn`t mean anything to me
Kraj banhofa takve mogu naći
Near the Banhoff I could find ones like that (Banhof is a place in Amsterdam, Holland = The Red light district is near by, so he means that he could go to the prostitutes for a woman like that)
Želio sam da me stvarno voli
I really wanted her to love me
Da joj ljubav nije aerobik
And that love isn`t aerobic to her
Kad je sa mnom da ne skriva pogled
And when she is with me that she doesn`t hide her look (looking with eyes= to watch)
Da ne gleda uvijek negdje pored
That she doesn`t look somewhere else
Zagrljeni kada zora sviće
Holding around each other when the dawn breakes
Da budemo kao jedno biće
That we would be one
Nije mogla dugo da zanese
For a long time she couldn`t get pregnant
U nas nije bilo graje djece
We didn`t have children
Sporo su nam prolazili dani
Our dayes went slowly
Za večeru kad bi sjeli sami
And for the dinner when we would sit down alone
Razboli se, Bog je mladu uze
She got ill, and the God took the bride
Pamtim vječno njene zadnje suze
Forever I remember her last tears
I šaptaje :"Ti si čovjek vrijedan,
And the whispers: "You are a hard working man,
Ali život, život on je bijedan..."
But the life, the life is poor..."
She told me the first night, she told me everything
Možeš imat moje tijelo, ali dušu ne
You can have my body, but never my soul
Thanks in advance
