Sale Prerad – Loše karte (BCS > EN)

Not easy to admit - I even like it more than Toni's version. Couldn't find an English translation here or in the web. Anyone?

Sale Prerad – Loše karte:

Moj zivot je stao
i nije mi lako
laz jaca je od istine
pa sve na gore okrene
sad kida me…

REF.:
Tad nisam znao
(ne, ne, ne)
da Bog mi te je dao
(ne, ne, ne)
tvoje oci snene
za mene stvorene

Sad mi je zao
(ne, ne, ne)
sto drugom sam te dao
(ne, ne, ne)
ljubavi, spasi me
lose karte me krenule

Svaki greh cu da platim
samo tebe da vratim
zoru nikada da ne vidim
samo da te zagrlim
i kazem ti…

REF.

Al’ veruj mi, sad mi je zao
(ne, ne, ne)
sto drugom sam te dao
(ne, ne, ne)
ljubavi, spasi me
lose karte me krenule



For two other versions see kavar-bg.

Dear Sofijski Mozart,

tried to translate the lyrics the best I could.
Enjoy.



Moj zivot je stao// My life is standing
i nije mi lako// and it’s not easy for me
laz jaca je od istine// lie is stronger than truth
pa sve na gore okrene// everything is turning into bad
sad kida me…// now it gives me pain

REF.:
Tad nisam znao// Before I didn’t know
(ne, ne, ne)
da Bog mi te je dao// that God gave you to me
(ne, ne, ne)
tvoje oci snene// your sleepy eyes
za mene stvorene// made for me

Sad mi je zao// Now it’s pity to me
(ne, ne, ne)
sto drugom sam te dao// cause I gave you to another
(ne, ne, ne)
ljubavi, spasi me// my love, save me
lose karte me krenule// bad cards are following me

Svaki greh cu da platim// I will pay for every sin
samo tebe da vratim// only that you come back
zoru nikada da ne vidim// that the dawn I never see
samo da te zagrlim// only to hug you
i kazem ti…// and tell you

REF.

Al’ veruj mi, sad mi je zao// but believe me, now it’s pity to me
(ne, ne, ne)
sto drugom sam te dao// cause I gave you to another
(ne, ne, ne)
ljubavi, spasi me// my love, save me
lose karte me krenule// bad cards are following me

Thanks so much! And don't worry, I'll never be able to find any mistakes ;D
But your translations seems so fine, I guess there are no "faults" than just your modesty

And don't worry, I'll never be able to find any mistakes

What a pity! I always want to understand ....


Moj zivot je stao// My life is standing -> My life stopped

stati = to stop, to desist
stati na nešto = to step onto sth
standing = stajati
stajati vs stojati

Sad mi je zao// Now it’s pity to me -> Now I regret

Cheers!

Nice translation, just in addition to what Ina said...

zoru nikada da ne vidim// that the dawn I never see
samo da te zagrlim// only to hug you

Here it is like saying "I'm willing to never see the dawn again if I can just hold you." (same sort of desperation as in the line before this.) Marina's translation is not wrong here at all, but just to make the meaning a bit clearer.

And "kida me" can be thought of more dramatically as "it's tearing me apart"...but only if you're a dramatic person.

Nice job.

...oh - I know.

Well I believe that Balkan people in general like to have dramas in their lives, and are drama-prone ... or have we just inherited such history?! Loše karte.
