Zeljko Joksimovic Rintam translation

[lejla]

Rekla si mi sve sto si imala, godinama si cutala
Rekla si i da si me volela, zaboga jer si morala
Da sam dunav ti bi me presusila

Tebi dajem sakom i kapom a ti me u bedu otera
Uzimas i trazis al nikad ne dajes to sto dajes drugima
Dal da stvarno skocim s mosta, para nikad dosta
Dobro i ziv ostado

Ja rintam, rintam, po celu noc i dan
Samo tebi da dam rintam
I druge negledam, vidis kako propadam
Ja rintam, rintam, po celu noc i dan
Samo tebi da dam rintam
A tebi malo je, sta bi vise od mene

Sad mi kazes malo je, kule i gradove da ti osvajam
Sad mi kazes zlato i dzindjule da ti poklanjam
Stanu malo stani zar te nije sram

[seka]

You told me all you had to say, after years of silence
You even told me that you loved me, for god's sake, did you have to?
Had I been the Danube, you would have dried me up

I give to you freely (lit. by hand and by hat) and you sent me into poverty
You take and you demand but you never give me what you give others
Maybe I should really jump off a bridge, since there is never enough money
But at least I'm still alive

I work like a horse, all night and day
Just so I have enough to give you
And I don't look at others, do you see how I'm being ruined

I work like a horse, all night and day
Just so I have enough to give to you

But it's never enough, what more do you want from me

Now you tell me towers and cities wouldn't be enough for you
Now you tell me to give you gold and jewels
Hold on just a little, don't you feel any shame
