Djordje Balasevic - No Kada Sam Preplivao Dunav
Na mostu smena straze,
znao sam da me traze,
zandara nema koji ne zna moj lik. Zar moja glava vredi sto forinti,
gospodo draga?
Pod slikom toliko pise,
vredi bar krajcaru vise. Dobre smo krcme znali,
dobre smo konje krali,
dobra nas neka zvezda pratila svud. Ostajte zbogom zeleni Karpati,
drumovi carski.Djordje Balasevic - No Kada Sam Preplivao Dunav - http://motolyrics.com/djordje-balasevic/no-kada-sam-preplivao-dunav-lyrics-english-translation.html
Dugo sam bio daleko,
dal' me pozeleo neko? Dolazim, sto dukata donosim,
i kasmirsku maramu cudesnih boja. Dolazim, da te opet zaprosim,
dok te drugom ne daju, ljubavi moja. Talasi ladje lome,
sta srce zna o tome?
Srce je ludi husar, pijan i mlad. I te sam noci preplivao Dunav,
dubok i strasan.
Oprosti velika reko,
al' ja sam morao preko! Dolazim...
Djordje Balasevic - The night I swam over Danube (English translation)
On the bridge the watch was relieved
I knew they were looking for me
There's no lawman that doesn't know my face.
Is my head really worth 100 forints
dear gentleman?
That is what it says under the picture,
yet it is worth at least a fillér more.
We knew some good taverns,
we stole some good horses,
some good star followed us everywhere.
Stay well green Carpathians
car's roads.Djordje Balasevic - No Kada Sam Preplivao Dunav - http://motolyrics.com/djordje-balasevic/no-kada-sam-preplivao-dunav-lyrics-english-translation.html
For a long time I was far away,
did anybody missed me?
I'm coming with 100 ducats
and a Kashmir scarf with magical colors.
I'm coming to propose to you again,
so they don't give you away to another, my love.
Waves break boats,
what does heart know about that?
Heart is a crazy hussar, drunk and young.
And that night I swam over Danube
deep and dire.
Forgive me great river,
but I had to cross over!
I'm coming...
