Billy Idol "Sweet Sixteen"

"Sweet Sixteen"

I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen,
And I'll do anything
For little run away child

Gave my heart an engagement ring.
She took ev'rything.
Ev'rything I gave her,
Oh sweet sixteen.

Built a moon
For a rocking chair.
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen.
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in.

Well I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh I'll do anything
For little runaway child

Well, memories will burn you.
Memories grow older as people can
They just get colder
Like sweet sixteen


Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen,
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in.
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen.
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in.

Yeah, sad and lonely and blue.
Yeah, gettin' over you.
How, how do you think it feels
Yeah to get up in the morning, get over you.
Up in the morning, get over you.
Wipe away the tears, get over you,
get over, get over...

My sweet sixteen
Oh runaway child
Oh sweet sixteen
Little runaway girl.

Gave my heart an engagement ring
She left everything
Everything I gave her
Sweet sixteen
Built a moon
For a rocking chair,
Never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh

Such a great song, why no one has replied?!!!!

I'm not sure what this means: Built a moon for a rocking chair. Anyone?
Candy castle = Coral Castle

Based on song interpretation, here's my - probably poor - translation:



Sweet Sixteen - Slatka šesnaestogodišnjakinjo or Slatkih šesnaest
(or even "Slatke šesnaeste", choose , this is is the nickname of his 16 old bride and his first great love, which had left him the day before the wedding)


I'll do anything / Učiniću sve
For my sweet sixteen, /za mojih slatkih šesnaest
And I'll do anything / I učiniću sve
For little run away child / Za moje odbeglo dete (pobegulju )

Gave my heart an engagement ring. / Dala je mom srcu verenički prsten
She took ev'rything. / Uzela je sve.
Ev'rything I gave her, /Sve što sam joj dao
Oh sweet sixteen. / Oh, mojih slatkih šesnaest

Built a moon / "Sagradi mesec
For a rocking chair. / za stolicu za ljuljanje"
I never guessed it would / Nikada nisam verovao da bi je to
Rock her far from here / Odvelo daleko odavde
Oh, oh, oh, oh. / Oh, oh, oh, oh

Someone's built a candy castle / Neko je sagradio jedan medeni dvorac
For my sweet sixteen. / Za mojih slatkih šesnaest.
Someone's built a candy brain / Neko je istkao jedan medeni um
And filled it in. / I celog ga ispinio.

Well I'll do anything / Pa učiniću sve
For my sweet sixteen, /za mojih slatkih šesnaest
And I'll do anything / I učiniću sve
For little run away child / Za moje odbeglo dete (pobegulju )

Well, memories will burn you. / Pa, uspomene će te ubiti
Memories grow older as people can / Uspomene stare kao i ljudi
They just get colder / One samo stare
Like sweet sixteen / Kao slatkih šesnaest


Someone's built a candy castle / Neko je sagradio jedan medeni dvorac
For my sweet sixteen, / Za mojih slatkih šesnaest
Someone's built a candy house /Neko je sagradio jednu medenu kuću
To house her in. / Da je udomi tu.
Someone's built a candy castle / Neko je sagradio jedan medeni dvorac
For my sweet sixteen. / Za mojih slatkih šesnaest
Someone's built a candy brain / Neko je istkao jedan medeni um
And filled it in. / I celog ga ispinio.

Yeah, sad and lonely and blue. / Da, tužan i usamljen i utučen
Yeah, gettin' over you. / Da, preboleti te.
How, how do you think it feels / Šta misliš kako izgleda
Yeah to get up in the morning, get over you. / ustati ujutru, prebol(j)e(va)ti te
Up in the morning, get over you. / dići se ujutru, preboleti te.
Wipe away the tears, get over you, / Obrisati suze, preboleti te
get over, get over... / preboleti, preboleti

My sweet sixteen / Mojih slatkih šesnaest
Oh runaway child / Oh, odbeglo dete
Oh sweet sixteen / Oh, slatkih šesnaest
Little runaway girl. / Odbegla devojčice.

Gave my heart an engagement ring. / Dala je mom srcu verenički prsten
She took evrything. / Uzela je sve.
Ev'rything I gave her, /Sve što sam joj dao
Sweet sixteen. / Mojih slatkih šesnaest

Built a moon
For a rocking chair,
I never guessed it would / Nikada nisam verovao da bi je to
Rock her far from here / Odvelo daleko odavde
Oh, oh, oh, oh. / Oh, oh, oh, oh
