Do you know the story of Vasa Ladachki (it's a name). I heard it just a while ago
Jednom devet dana nije izlazio iz birtije, kažu da je bio čudna sorta...
Once he didn't come out of tavern for 9 days,he is said to be of a strange kind
Otac mu je bio sitni paor, 'ranio je sedam gladnih usti'.
His father was "commoner", 'he fed 7 hungry mouths'.
Mati mu je bila plava, tiha, nežna, jektičava,
His mother was blond,quiet,gentle,??????
umrla je s trideset i nešto...
She died in hers 30-es...

Imali su par jutara zemlje, malu kuću na kraju sokaka.
They had a couple of acres of land,little house at the end of alley
Na astalu navek hleba, taman tol'ko kol'ko treba,
On the table there's "always" bread,just as much as it was needed
al' je Vasa hteo mnogo više...
But Vasa wanted much more...

Želeo je konje vrane, po livadi razigrane,
He wanted "good" horses on the field playfuled
sat sa zlatnim lancem i salaše...
he wanted a golden watch and granges...
Želeo je njive plodne, vinograde blagorodne,
he wanted productive fields,rich vineyards
u karuce pregnute čilase, ali nije mog'o da ih ima.
???????????????????????, but he couldn't have them

Voleo je lepu al' sirotu, uz'o bi je, samo da je znao:
He loved a beautiful but poor lady,he would "take" her only if he had known:
voleš jednom u životu, sad bogatu il' sirotu,
youy love only once in your life,rich or poor one,
to ne bira pamet nego srce...
it doesn't choose your mind,it does you heart...

Sve se nad'o da će ljubav proći. Zanavek je otiš'o iz sela.
He hoped love will fade.He went from that town forever
Nikad nije pis'o nikom, venč'o se sa miraždžikom,
He didn't ever write to anybody,he got married with the "rich girl"
jedinicom ćerkom nekog gazde...
the only daughter of some "boss"...

Dobio je konje vrane, po livadi razigrane,
He got "good" horses on the field playfuled
sat sa zlatnim lancem i salaše...
golden watch and granges
Dobio je njive plodne, vinograde blagorodne,
he got productive fields,rich vineyards
u karuce pregnute čilase, sve je im'o ništa im'o nije.
???????????????????????.ha had it all,but he had nothing

Propio se, nije proslo mnogo, dušu svoju Đavolu je prod'o
He got drunk,it didn't pass much time,he sold his soul to the devil
Znali su ga svi birtaši, tražio je spas u čaši,
he is known to all drunkers,he searched the salvation in the glas
ali nije mog'o da ga nađe...
but he couldn't find it...

Mlad je, kažu, bio i kad je umro, sred birtije, od srčane kapi.
He was young,they say,when he died,at the centerof tavern,of a heart attack
Klonula mu samo glava, k'o da drema, k'o da spava
his head fainted,like he's nappying,like he's sleeping
i još pamte šta je zadnje rek'o...
and they still remember his last words...

Džaba bilo konja vranih, po livadi razigranih,
It's not worth of "good" horses on the field playfuled,
džaba bilo sata i salaša...
it's not worth of golden watch and granges...
Džaba bilo njiva plodnih, vinograda blagorodnih,
it's not worth of productive fields,rich vineyards
džaba bilo karuca, čilaša...
it's not worth of ????????????....

Kada nisam s onom koju volem,
When I'm not with one that I love,
kada nisam s onom koju volem.
when I'm not with one that I love

Kad ja nisam s onom koju volem,
when I'm not with one that I love
E, kad nisam s onom koju volem.
Oh,when I'm not with one that I love

Znate l' priču o Vasi Ladačkom? I ja sam je tek onomad čuo.
Do you know the story about Vasa Ladachki? I heard it just a while ago.
Čak i oni slični njemu, kada razmisle o svemu,
even those similar to him,when they think about everything
kažu da je bio čudna sorta..
they say he was of a strange kind

At the parts where are ?????????????? I don't know how to translate those words,so you should ask for another opinion...well, hope u'll like it kissses

Thank you for the translation. If any body is able to fill in the missing words, please do so.

Mati mu je bila plava, tiha, nežna, jektičava,
His mother was blond,quiet,gentle,??????

that ?????? means febrile,feverish


The others ??? are referred to words "karuc" and "cilas".I don't know what karuc means but it's some kind of horse gear,because "cilas" means a horse with gray hair.So the others ?????? probably mean that he wanted the best gray horses in best gears.

I hope I helped you!

by the way - i should apologise that this is not a song lyric! but i hope someone would be willing to help me it may be fun for you anyway!

Thank you Angeliki.

Yes, I was also wondering if I could get things other than song lyrics translated here. I'm wondering about short video clips, skits, etc.

I would love to get a translation of the following: I understand most of it. I'm not sure if any written script is available.

@deni:Oh God I laughed so uch... :lauging_till_falling_of_a_chair:
Translation:

Everything that has harassed us,that harassed the literature and science too.That's why we went to the Insitute for literature and we brought Professor Doktor Case(case in grammar).
Prof.Dr.Case:We,with our team that is made of Prof. Dr. Comma(,) and Prof. Dr. Pronoun,came to the conclusion that the language which was called serbo-croatian is actually not one but 6 languages: Serbian,Croatian,Bosnian,Herzegovinian,Monten(of Montenegrin)and Negrin(of Montenegrin).Let me explain it to you:Take the example "I'm reading".In Serbian you say it "I'm reading".In Croatian it's completely different and you say it "I'm reading".In Bosnian this phrase has nothing to do with Croatian nor Serbian and you say it "I'm reading".Herzegovinian is interesting because this phrase has similar accent like in Bosnian,and you say it "I'm reading".In Monten you say it,you'll never guess,"I'm reading"!In Negrin it sounds completely different and you say it "I'm reading".
We've made a short film on our Institute about difficulties in conversation you could have in normal life.
1.The shop assistant-SA is speaking "Monten" and the girl-G is speaking "Bosnian":
SA:Hello!
G:Please,one tea.
SA:I don't understand.
G(gesticulating):Please,one tea.
SA:Boss,this girl wants to ask me something but I don't understand her.
BOSS:What do you need?
G:One tea.
BOSS(looking in dictionary):One tea.Why didn't you just say so?
So,in Bosnian you say it "tea",but on Monten you say it "tea"!
2.In this case,the woman-W is speaking Serbian and the guy-G is speaking Herzegovinian.
G:Hello!Would you like to join me for a cup of coffee?
W:I don't understand.[It's normal,cause they're speaking different languages ()]
G(gesticulating):Would you like to join me for a cup of coffee?
W:I don't understand.
Translator-T arrived.
T:Hello!Maybe the dictionary could help you.
G:Great.You were just the thing I needed.
T:Say what you need.
W:Please,tell her I'm asking her would she join me for a cup of coffee.
T(looking in dictionary):He is asking you if you would join him for a cup of tea.
W:Yes,of course.
G:What she says?
T:She said:Yes,of course?
G:Ask her if she wants to join me now?
T:He is asking you if you want to join him now.
W:Of course.
G:What she says?
T:Of course.
G:Let's go then.
T:Wait a minute.This translation will cost you 18 dinars.
G:But,I don't understand you.
Call this numbers to order your Serbian,Croatian,Bosnian,Herzegovinian,Monten and Negrin all in one dictionary.


The point in this show is making fun of every nation inventing its own language.We say "I'm reading" the same on every language,and we all understand Bosnian,Serbian,Croatian...

Zdravo Angeliki,

Hvala puno za prevod. Super. Jako smešno je taj film. I must have watched it a hundred times, laughing. I'm learning Serbian right now, so all of that 'grammar-linguistic' talk is right up my alley. I understood most of it except a few words.

Do you happen to know where I can find some easy reading (maybe children's stories, etc.) in Serbian? I prefer to use latin script for now.

Bože pravde, ti što spase
od propasti do sad nas,
čuj i odsad naše glase
i od sad nam budi spas

Moćnom rukom vodi, brani
budućnosti srpske brod,
Bože spasi, Bože hrani
srpske zemlje, srpski rod!

Složi srpsku braću dragu
na svak dičan slavan rad
sloga biće poraz vragu
a najjači srpstvu grad.

Nek na srpskoj blista grani
bratske sloge znatan plod
Bože spasi, Bože hrani
srpske zemlje, srpski rod!

Nek na srpsko vedro čelo
tvog ne padne gneva grom
Blagoslovi Srbu selo
polje, njivu, grad i dom!

Kad nastupe borbe dani
k pobedi mu vodi hod
Bože spasi, Bože hrani
srpske zemlje, srpski rod!1

Iz mračnoga sinu groba
srpske slave novi sjaj
nastalo je novo doba
Novu sreću, Bože daj!

Otadžbinu srpsku brani
pet vekovne borbe plod
Bože spasi, Bože brani2
moli ti se srpski rod!

anthem of serbia?you want translation or?

ok..I am guessing you want translation...
I found some translations..so you can check...

@deni:No probs.I found only this:Mlekara Sabac-Stranica za decu for now.I'll keep searching...
edit:Oh,I found this: Bajke Za Decu .These stories are for bigger kids.
But these "?" could be the problem for you...In the middle of word they represent "š" or "ž",for example '�iveo' is'živeo' which means 'was living',but 'siroma�ni' is 'siromašni' which means 'poor'.
Tell me if you have problems with this story...

Funky G - Ludo, ludo
Minut do jutra, do kraja noci
govoris tiho, sutra neces doci
u vazduhu zelja kao kazna
i glasno se smeje soba prazna

Mili moj, gde ce ti dusa
i dokle mislis da radis to
da budes i sa mnom i sa njom
bez problema

Ref.
Ludo, ludo, zelim na tvome telu
poruku da ostavim njoj
ludo, ludo, i da ne trepnem
uzmem njeno mesto u ljubavi toj

Ludo, ludo, zelim te za sebe
reci da ces ostati tu
bez tebe sam u polusnu
ti me ostavljas ni na nebu ni na dnu

Necu da budem ti uvek druga
dok ona je s tobom sa mnom je tuga
u vazduhu zelja kao kazna
i glasno se smeje soba prazna
