Djordje Balasevic - Plava Balada

E, moj Plavi, bio si žestok ali bio si pravi
Nikakav dil sa šljamom, nikome služan, nikome dužan
Uvek si bio samo ludom čukom naoružan

Mi svi lole, a ti u almanahu pandurske škole
Pravi kapiten tima, drugi u klasi, šta više kaz'ti
I puna šapka snova o poštenju i o časti

Davno bilo, od tad se sedam mora Dunavom slilo
Na svoje epolete prišili zvezde čudni pitomci
I ne znaš više ko su dobri a ko loši momci

I pusti žvake da kod nas narod kao ljubi murjake
Ma taman posla, ali zbog sitne raje i postoji zakon
I svi su voleli da katkad naiđeš sokakom

A tad su došli topovi, pa popovi, pa lopovi
I čitav svet se izobličio
Ispuzali su grabljivci, pa lažljivci, snalažljivci
A ljudi ćutali, a šta bi drugo?
I šaptali da ovo ne može dugo

Ne znam Plavi, meni se činilo da Beograd slavi
Opojni dah slobode, velika zvona, pa plavi kordon
Pred onom decom ko pred tobož nekom strašnom hordom

Mulj i talog, jasno je meni ko potpisuje nalog
Ali je bruka druže što oko sebe podižu tabu
A tebe prodaju za palikuću i barabu.

Dok god je ovih frikova sa punom vrećom trikova
Ništa što vredi neće vredeti
I sve je manje načina pred najezdom seljačina
A ti si učen druže, zar ne kužiš,
da hapsiš takve njuške kojima služiš

Sorry Plavi, pošaljem nekad srce na raport glavi
Od starog društva ništa, neko je puko, neko je svirn'o
I ti si super brate, ako stvarno spavaš mirno


Thank you!!!

I needed 1 hour to translate this lyrics, it's very hard, in hard slang, I gave my best, I hope you'll understand it.


E, moj Plavi, bio si žestok ali bio si pravi
Eh, my Blue ( Blue one, I think he means on a cup), you were abrupt but the right one
Nikakav dil sa šljamom, nikome služan, nikome dužan,
(you have never made a dill with dregs (of society, bad people), never a servant, never owing (something to someone),
Uvek si bio samo ludom čukom naoružan
you've always been armed with a crazy guts ( he had the guts)

Mi svi lole, a ti u almanahu pandurske škole
we all are lols, you in (the almanac of) a cap school (meaning, I think, a police school has disciplined him)
Pravi kapiten tima, drugi u klasi, šta više kaz'ti
Blue-dressed captain of a team, the second in the class, if there is something more - you say
I puna šapka snova o poštenju i o časti
and a full hand of dreams of probity and honor

Davno bilo, od tad se sedam mora Dunavom slilo
It was long time ago, till then 7 seas have merged in Danube
Na svoje epolete prišili zvezde čudni pitomci
the strange cadets needled stars on their epaulettes
I ne znaš više ko su dobri a ko loši momci
and you don't know anymore who are good and who bad boys

I pusti žvake da kod nas narod kao ljubi murjake
And please don't buy me with that stories that here people love the cups
Ma taman posla, ali zbog sitne raje i postoji zakon
of course they don't, the law exists because of the rayah (commonalty)
I svi su voleli da katkad naiđeš sokakom
Everybody liked you passing down the alley

A tad su došli topovi, pa popovi, pa lopovi
afterward came cannons, then parsons, then miscreants
I čitav svet se izobličio
and the whole world has disfigured
Ispuzali su grabljivci, pa lažljivci, snalažljivci
The sharks (greed persons) have crawled, then liers, then astucious ones
A ljudi ćutali, a šta bi drugo?
and people were silent, what else they could have done?
I šaptali da ovo ne može dugo
and they buzz (between each other) this can't last for long

Ne znam Plavi, meni se činilo da Beograd slavi
I don't know, Blue, it seems to me Belgrade is celebrating
Opojni dah slobode, velika zvona, pa plavi kordon
a heady waft of freedom, ringing bells, blue cordons
Pred onom decom ko pred tobož nekom strašnom hordom
They acted in front of those children like they were in front of a horde

Mulj i talog, jasno je meni ko potpisuje nalog
Only mucks give the orders
Ali je bruka druže što oko sebe podižu tabu
but it is a scandle, buddy, that they build a wall around them (build "taboo", made themselves taboo, untouchable...)
A tebe prodaju za palikuću i barabu. but they would sell you to an incendiary (arsonist) and fool

Dok god je ovih frikova sa punom vrećom trikova
as long we have these freaks full with tricks
Ništa što vredi neće vredeti
anything of value will be without value

I sve je manje načina pred najezdom seljačina
There are less and less ways to deal with an invasion of the boors (bumpkins)
A ti si učen druže, zar ne kužiš,
You are educated, don't you understand,
da hapsiš takve njuške kojima služiš,
you should arrest sucha noses which you serve

Sorry Plavi, pošaljem nekad srce na raport glavi
Sorry Blue, sometimes my heart has to bring a report to my head
Od starog društva ništa, neko je puko, neko je svirn'o
there is nothing left grom the old society, someone has burst out, someone has "alarmed out"
I ti si super brate, ako stvarno spavaš mirno
And you are great, brother, if you can sleep well.

Oh... i couln´t imagin it is so difficult.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
