I really enjoy Davor Ebner songs but in most cases I have no idea what he is singing about.
Maybe you could help and translate some of his song to English?
FOLIRANTI
Na granici izmedju noci i dana
vise mene je vodio put, al' ja sam ga stigao
na radiju su svirale stare pjesme
a i prijem je bio los, al' ja sam ih slusao
Ma dobro dos'o u stari grad
prva svjetla se pale gore na nebu
i sladak miris sto postoji
samo za one kao sto smo mi
ovdje rodjeni
Ref.
Prestigli smo folirante lose godine
kupicu ti kafu, perec, prve novine
sapnut cu ti rijeci skrivene
godina svoj krug zapocinje
i neka se vrati, i neka se vrati
Kad jesen ljetu ispusti ruku
i tajne kad skrijes pod strop
k'o da me zagrle sablasne planine
Miris kaputa iz tudjeg ormara
i sve mi se cini sad dalje
neka, to proci ce
brzo to proci ce
A nekad sam mislio da postoji kraj
i nikada vise u svojoj glavi
necu osjetit' istu fjaku
i ono cudno sto nas pali
sto imamo mi ovdje rodjeni
Kako voljeti
Dobro mi dosla, jos brze mi nestala
hladna i topla, k'o prosla godina
prsti u kosi kroz mirise jutra
sto donose ljubav od danas do sutra
zlobno mi sapcu da prolaze godine
Ref.
Kako voljeti, kad sve
sto imas to su porazi
milion godina, u jedan
kofer nocas staviti
kad sve sto imas to je laz
i to je najbolje sto znas, lagati
Nemoj da trazis, nemoj da uzimas
pred nama nije, stotinu puteva
kako ces sada da izbrises dane
ono jos tuge u srce sto stane
ono jos malo sto prolaze godine
NIŠTA NE OSTAJE
Pravis se da me ne primjecujes
i da te moje price ne zanimaju
dovoljno ozbiljna si vec
guzve te umaraju
Ref.
Pratim pogledom oblik tijela tvog
kako lijepa si
providne su sve igre bez tebe
nista ne ostaje
Tebi nikad nista nije dovoljno
ma hajde plesi, osjecaj se slobodno
dodirni me dok pleses, samo ti me znas
kuda idem, sto se smijem, kako razmisljam

NIŠTA NE OSTAJE
Nothing remains
Pravis se da me ne primjecujes
You pretend you don't know me
i da te moje price ne zanimaju
and that you not interested in the stories (rumors) concerning me
dovoljno ozbiljna si vec
you are old ("serious") enough
guzve te umaraju
rucks annoy you
Ref.
Pratim pogledom oblik tijela tvog
My eyes follow the lines (shape) of your body
kako lijepa si
you're so beautiful
providne su sve igre bez tebe
all the games are transparent without you
nista ne ostaje
nothing remains (nothing stay)
Tebi nikad nista nije dovoljno
It's never enough for you
ma hajde plesi, osjecaj se slobodno
come on, dance , feel free
dodirni me dok pleses, samo ti me znas
touch me while dancing, you're the only one who knows me
kuda idem, sto se smijem, kako razmisljam
where I'm going, why I laugh, how I think -
FOLIRANTI
Con men, Cheaters
Na granici izmedju noci i dana
On the edge of night and day
vise mene je vodio put,
there was a road near me leading upwards,
al' ja sam ga stigao
but I reached it
na radiju su svirale stare pjesme
There were old songs played on the radio
a i prijem je bio los, al' ja sam ih slusao
a signal (telecom.signal, received broadcast) was bad, but I was listening
Ma dobro dos'o u stari grad
Welcome to the "old" town (welcome back to your city)
prva svjetla se pale gore na nebu
The first lighting lights up in the sky
i sladak miris sto postoji
and sweet present scent
samo za one kao sto smo mi
(is) for those like us
ovdje rodjeni
born here
Ref.
Prestigli smo folirante lose godine
we've outdone cons of the bad year
kupicu ti kafu, perec, prve novine
I'll buy you coffee, pretzel, first newspaper
sapnut cu ti rijeci skrivene
I'll whisper to you hidden words
godina svoj krug zapocinje
The year starts its circle
i neka se vrati, i neka se vrati
and let it come back 2x
Kad jesen ljetu ispusti ruku
when autumn let the hand of summer drop (???)
(or when autumn passes the hand of summer down)
i tajne kad skrijes pod strop
and when you hide secrets under the ceiling
k'o da me zagrle sablasne planine
like I am hugged by ghastly mountains
Miris kaputa iz tudjeg ormara
The smell of other coat from the closet
i sve mi se cini sad dalje
it appears to me more distant now
neka, to proci ce
let it, it'll pass
brzo to proci ce
it will pass quickly
A nekad sam mislio da postoji kraj
Once I thought there was an end
i nikada vise u svojoj glavi
and that I would never again experience
necu osjetit' istu fjaku
the same "fjaka" (I don't know what's this) in my head
i ono cudno sto nas pali
and that miracle that turns us on
sto imamo mi ovdje rodjeni
which we who were born here have -
Kako voljeti - How to love
Dobro mi dosla, jos brze mi nestala
You were welcome, even faster gone (??)
(maybe you came to me in right time but gone fast, in a short period of time than you were here)
hladna i topla, k'o prosla godina
cold and worm, like the last year
prsti u kosi kroz mirise jutra
fingers in (someone's) hear in the scents of morning
sto donose ljubav od danas do sutra
which bring day-to-day love
zlobno mi sapcu da prolaze godine
they whisper out of malice that years are passing
Ref.
Kako voljeti, kad sve
Who to love when everything
sto imas to su porazi
you have are defeats
milion godina, u jedan
put a million years in one
kofer nocas staviti
suitcase tonight
kad sve sto imas to je laz
when everything you hava is a lie
i to je najbolje sto znas, lagati
that's the best you can do, to lie
Nemoj da trazis, nemoj da uzimas
Don't look for, don't take
pred nama nije, stotinu puteva
we don't have a hundred routes in front of us
kako ces sada da izbrises dane
how you're going to erase the days now
ono jos tuge u srce sto stane
just some of a sadness that can be put into a heart (??)
ono jos malo sto prolaze godine
just a little bit more and years are passing (??)
Honestly, I hardly understand in our language what he wanted to say, it's abstract, so I am not sure how to translate it then in English. -
How To Love
You're very welcome, disappeared on me even faster
cold and warm, like past year
Fingers in hair through the morning scents,
that bring love in a day,
maliciously whisper to me that years are passing by
How to love, when all
you've got are defeats,
to put a million years, in one
suitcase, tonight,
when all you've got is a lie
and that's what you're best at, lying
Don't make demands, don't take
one hundred roads are not ahead of us
How will you now erase the days
the bit of sorrow that fits in your heart
the bit of years that are yet to pass
I am not sure about the first line so.. any suggestions are more than welcome! -
Thank You very very much, you're wonderful
