    Default Marko Kon i Milan Nikolić - Cipela, feedback wanted

    Hey! I fell in love with both the Russian contribution and the Serbian! Croatia's was of course and as always typically Croatian, and boring...

    I'd appreciate feedback on my translation of the Serbian Eurovision contribution:

    Moja stara cipela pola sveta videla
    My old shoe has seen half of the world
    Gde god da stanem tu mi dom
    Wherever I stay, is my home
    Tamo pa 'vamo, istok pa zapad
    From here to there, from east to south
    Ma gde god stigao bio sam na svom
    Wherever I come, I've been there before

    Hvata me panika, ta stara navika
    The panic grips a hold on me, that old habit
    Srce bi krenulo za njom
    My heart would set off in front of her
    A ja budala, stara baraba
    And I'd become, an old fool
    Ma sve nek' propadne teraću po svom
    Well, let everything perish, I'll keep on with that

    Nije nije nije me htela
    She didn't didn't didn't want me
    Sve dok pare ne skupim
    If I didn't spend all my money
    Ma more nije nije nije nije nije me želela
    She didn't didn't didn't didn't didn't didn't want me
    Dok se ne obogatim sasvim
    If I wasn't utterly rich

    Hey Marko, I like how you ended it, with "utterly rich"
    "sve dok pare ne skupim" - it's not about spending but getting the money (skupiti = to gather, assemble, collect)

    But, anyhow, here is my translation of Cipela so you can compare

    Eurovision 2009 Serbia: Marko Kon & Milan Nikolić - Cipela ~ Shoe

    There's also English version (right under the translated lyrics) as well as versions in Russian, Finnish, French, Greek and Hebrew

    This youtube user seems to like my translation lol
