Rekli su mi najgore o tebi
nisu nikad pricali o sebi
rekli su mi ono ca su tili
virova san, stariji su bili

Rekli su mi da si svugdi bija
rekli su mi da si puno pija
rekli su mi ono ca su znali
virova san jer san bija mali

Oprosti mi, pape
sve te grube rici
i moj zivot sada
na tvoj zivot slici
Oprosti mi, pape
sad razumin tebe
gledan tvoju sliku
gledajuci sebe

Rekli su mi da si zenske jubi
na kartama da si solde gubi
rekli su mi ono ca su znali
virova san jer san bija mali

Rekli su mi da si 'sova Boga
rekli su mi prikovise toga
rekli su mi ono ca su znali
virova san jer san bija mali

Oprosti mi, pape
sve te grube rici
i moj zivot sada
na tvoj zivot slici
Oprosti mi, pape
ca san druge slusa
ja san, pape, isti
jer san zivot kusa


Malinkonija
Jos jednom da se rodi
nemirno ovo tilo
zvizdu ce istu slidit
i bit ce ca je bilo
Mada je sricu snilo
i nike svitle dane
kad skupis ca je bilo
u jednu pismu stane

Malinkonija u dusi, u dusi,
u mojoj dusi spava
i kida srce moje
dok piva pisme svoje
Malinkonija u dusi, u dusi,
u mojoj dusi spava
i zadnju pismu pise
mladosti nima vise

Prosta je mladost moja
da l' itko za nju mari
i ca su stukli mladost
ti prsti na gitari
Ovo je nasa pisma
jer nista nas ne dili
i vi ste, kao i ja
iz iste case pili

Malinkonija u dusi, u dusi...

Rekli su mi najgore o tebi
Thy told me the worst things about you
nisu nikad pricali o sebi
they never said anything about themselves
rekli su mi ono ca su tili
they told me what they wanted to say
virova san, stariji su bili
I believed them, they were older

Rekli su mi da si svugdi bija
they told me you were everywhere
rekli su mi da si puno pija
they told me you drank a lot
rekli su mi ono ca su znali
they told me what the knew
virova san jer san bija mali
I believed them because I was young

Oprosti mi, pape
Forgive me, father
sve te grube rici
all those harsh words
i moj zivot sada
my life now
na tvoj zivot slici
is like yours
Oprosti mi, pape
Forgive me, father
sad razumin tebe
Now I understand you
gledan tvoju sliku
I'm looking at your photo
gledajuci sebe
and I see myself

Rekli su mi da si zenske jubi
They told me you were kissing many woman
na kartama da si solde gubi
that you lost a lot of money on cards
rekli su mi ono ca su znali
they told me what they knew
virova san jer san bija mali
I believed them because I was young

Rekli su mi da si 'sova Boga
They told me you cursed God
rekli su mi prikovise toga
they told me more than that
rekli su mi ono ca su znali
They told me what they knew
virova san jer san bija mali
I believed them because I was young

Oprosti mi, pape
Forgive me, father
sve te grube rici
all those harsh words
i moj zivot sada
my life now
na tvoj zivot slici
is like yours
Oprosti mi, pape
Forgive me, father
ca san druge slusa
for listening to the others
ja san, pape, isti
I'm the same, father
jer san zivot kusa
because I know how's life (lit. because I tried life)

Hvala hvala..mymum always cries to that song!

It really is sad....

Malinkonija
Melancholy

Jos jednom da se rodi
If it was born once again
nemirno ovo tilo
this restless body
zvizdu ce istu slidit
it will follow the same star
i bit ce ca je bilo
and it will be the way it was
Mada je sricu snilo
Although it dreamt of happiness
i nike svitle dane
and some better days (light days, lit.)
kad skupis ca je bilo
when you geather what once was
u jednu pismu stane
everything fits one song

Malinkonija u dusi, u dusi,
melancholy in the soul, in the soul
u mojoj dusi spava
it's sleeping in my soul
i kida srce moje
and it's tearing my heart apart
dok piva pisme svoje
while it's singing its songs
Malinkonija u dusi, u dusi,
melancholy in the soul, in the soul
u mojoj dusi spava
it's sleeping in my soul
i zadnju pismu pise
and it writes the last song
mladosti nima vise
youth doesnt exist anymore

Prosta je mladost moja
My youth is simple
da l' itko za nju mari
Does anyone care about it?
i ca su stukli mladost
and that the youth was wasted by
ti prsti na gitari
these fingers on the guitar
Ovo je nasa pisma
this is our song
jer nista nas ne dili
because nothing separates us
i vi ste, kao i ja
and you were, like me,
iz iste case pili
drinking from the same glass

Malinkonija u dusi, u dusi...
melancholy in the soul, in the soul..

These lyrics are little works of art............ really beautiful !!
It seems they were written after 2 bottles of wine :-)
