Bijelo Dugme - Ako mozes zaboravi

Can you translate this song for me please ?

Gdje là u krenes ovo strasno doba,
Nemas gdje,
Sama u tom haljetku
Cirkuske jahacice
Milijun rubalja za
Tvoja glatka ramena,
Daj, makar ne varaj ovog
Andjela Na dlanu,
Zaboravi, ako mozes
Zaboravi, zaboravi
Ako mozes

Otmjeno izgubljena opklada tonne ti jamais
Kao krevet spremljen
Malo tijesan za dvoje,
Kao haljina kada SE rasiva,
Evo porodi ME kao srna Na snijegu,
I zaboravi ako mozes
Zaboravi, zaboravi,
Ako mozes

Gdje là u krenes ovo strasno doba,
Nemas gdje
Tebi svaki krevet ovog svijeta tijesan jamais
Idi pod laznim imenom,
Idi i putuj sjeverom,
Ili porodi ME kao srna Na snijegu
I zaboravi

Thank you so much!

Hi Saskia,
wow, how did you come now to this song? It is prehistoric ;o))
Nice melody but the text is little bit dizzying and heavy
But I’ll try it … just to give you insight,
But for sure it is not a high level lyric translation :-((
(some notes in brackets, when I was not sure how to translate)


If you can, forget

Where should you go in this awful time
You don’t have where
Alone, in this weed of a circus rider
A million rubles for your velvet shoulders
Come on, at least don’t cheat this angel on the palm (palm of hand)
Forget , if you can
Forget, forget
If you can

Elegant lost bet, that it is
Like an arranged bed
A little bit tight for two
Like a dress being unsewed
Here (look), bear me (deliver me) like a roe (roe-deer) on the snow
And forget, if you can
Forget, forget
If you can

Where should you go in this awful time
You don’t have where
For you, every bed in this world is too small
Go, under a lying name (anonym)
Go and travel across the north
Or bear me like a roe on the snow
And forget.

I love that song!
Maybe doe instead of roe..
"porodi me" is really hard to imagine and of course not easy to translate : )
the lyrics are a bit messed up though.. here's correct version

Bijelo Dugme - Ako mozes zaboravi

Gdje da krenes u ovo strasno doba,
Nemas gdje,
Sama u tom haljetku
Cirkuske jahacice
Milijun rubalja za
Tvoja glatka ramena,
Daj, makar ne varaj ovog
Andjela na dlanu,
Zaboravi, ako mozes
Zaboravi, zaboravi
Ako mozes

Otmjeno izgubljena opklada to ti je
Kao spremljen krevet
Malo tijesan za dvoje,
Kao haljina kada se rasiva,
Evo porodi me kao srna na snijegu,
I zaboravi ako mozes
Zaboravi, zaboravi,
Ako mozes

Gdje da krenes u ovo strasno doba,
Nemas gdje
Tebi svaki krevet ovog svijeta tijesan je
Idi pod laznim imenom,
Idi i putuj sjeverom,
Ili porodi me kao srna na snijegu
I zaboravi

Ohhh Great!! Thank you very much

Prehistoric!!! but really good music!

When I read now the English lyrics, I can see why it looked so strange for me ...

hey, there is something i can't understand exactly;
"milijun rubalija za tvoja glatka ramena"
is it kind of expression?
what does refer "glatke ramene"?

It's like he is offering to pay million rubles for her "smooth shoulders"
But .. not really... it's as if he said "I'd give anything to have you.. to be able to touch your shoulders..."
Smooth shoulders is literal translation and I think it sounds much better the way Ivory translated it
