Flamingosi - Danijela

Znala je da cuti satima
okrenuta prema vratima,
ali jednom kad me pogleda
ja tad' padam na kolena...

Oduvek je bila najlepsa,
lako se sa svima igrala,
ali ipak uvek pravedna
i da... bolno iskrena...

Ona je uvek znala sta je htela,
ona je htela i kad nije smela,
i da se digne kad je samo na korak od dna
Danijela to zna...

Izgledala je k'o da nesto krije,
al' niko tako voleo me nije...
I kad bih hteo da joj kazem ne, kazem da,
jer Danijela to zna...

Rekla je:
"Ne gasi svetlo, dodji, hladno je
i ne daj me nikome, nikada, molim te...
Ne volim zimu, mrak i tudje poglede...
i zasto nema pesme normalne
da kao ja zove se?"

Mogla je da bira kuda ce,
mogla je da bira koga ce...
Iako bas sve mogla je
htela je stvari normalne...

Danijela// Danijela

Znala je da cuti satima // She knew to listen for hours
okrenuta prema vratima, // turned towards the door
ali jednom kad me pogleda // but when she looks at me
ja tad' padam na kolena... // I fall instantly to the knees

Oduvek je bila najlepsa, // She was always the most beautiful
lako se sa svima igrala, // she danced easily with everyone
ali ipak uvek pravedna // But she's always fair
i da... bolno iskrena... // And... painfully sincere

Ona je uvek znala sta je htela, // She always knew what she wanted,
ona je htela i kad nije smela, // she wanted even when she didn't dare (to do something about it or couldn't do anything about it)
i da se digne kad je samo na korak od dna // and how to bring herself back up when she was just a step away from the bottom
Danijela to zna... // Daniela knows (how to do that)

Izgledala je k'o da nesto krije, // She looked like she's hiding something
al' niko tako voleo me nije... // But nobody ever loved me like that
I kad bih hteo da joj kazem ne, kazem da, // And when I'd like to say "no" to her, I say "yes"
jer Danijela to zna... // because Danijela knows

Rekla je: // She said
"Ne gasi svetlo, dodji, hladno je // "Don't turn down the lights, come here, it's cold
i ne daj me nikome, nikada, molim te... // And don't give me to anyone else, ever, please...
Ne volim zimu, mrak i tudje poglede... // I don't like winter, darkness, strange views
i zasto nema pesme normalne // and why aren't there normal songs
da kao ja zove se?" // that are called like I?"

Mogla je da bira kuda ce, // She could have chosen where(ever)...
mogla je da bira koga ce... // She could have chosen whom(ever)...
Iako bas sve mogla je // And even though she could have done/had anything (that she wanted)
htela je stvari normalne... // She (just) wanted normal things (normal life)


I hope this helps, it's not the best translation, I know. But when I saw these lyrics, I quite liked them, and now I will listen to the song for the first time.




P.S. I liked it, I'm glad I got to hear it, thank you. The melody reminds me of a Tajci song that I loved as a child.
