Lyrics

Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue

Well my daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
Roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now you gonna die!!"
Yeah that's what I told him

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,

He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in the eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

What could I do? What could I do?
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

Serbian translation

Johnny Cash - Dečak po imenu Su (Serbian translation)

Otac je napustio kuću kada sam imao tri godine
I ništa specijalno nije ostavio meni i majci
Samo ovu staru gitaru i prazne boce alkohola
Pa i sad, ne krivim ga što je otišao i pobegao
Koliko zbog najgore stvari koji je ikada uradio
Pre nego što nas je napustio, otišao je a dao mi je ime "Su"

Pa, mora da je imao strašan smisao za humor
I stvarno sam dobio dovoljno podsmeha od naroda
Izgleda da sam morao da se borim sa tim ceo svoj život
Neke curice bi me zafrkavale, pa sam crvenio
I neki dečak bi mi dobacio, pa sam morao da im razbijem glavu
Reči ću ti, život nije nimalo lak za dečaka koji se zove "Su"

Odrastoh brzo i odrastoh opako
Pesnica jakih živaca i tankih
Lutah od grada do grada da sakrijem sramotu
I zakleh se pred mesecom i zvezdama
Da ću potražiti svaku birtiju i kafanu
I ubiti čoveka koji mi je dao tako grozno ime

E pa, bilo je u Galtimburgu u sred Jula
I baš sam krenuo ka gradu ji ožednem
Pomislih da stanem da popijem koje pivo
U staroj kafani na blatnjavom putu
Na stolu sedi mešejući karte
Sedi prljav, šugav pas koji me je nazvao "Su"

Znao sam da ta zmija moji dragi tatica
Iz stare pohabane slike koja je moja majka imala
Prepoznah ožilljak na licu i likavo oko
Bio je velik, grbav, sed i star
Dok sam ga gledao krv mi se sledila
Rekoh "Zovem se Suz, Kako si ti?"
Sad ćeš umreti!"

Udarih ga pravo između očiJohnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue - http://motolyrics.com/johnny-cash/a-boy-named-sue-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
I pade dole, ali na moje iznenađenje
Ustade sa nožem i odseće mi parče uveta
Ali slomih stolicu o njegove zube
I probismo zid i pasmo na ulici
Šutirali i boli u blatu i krvlju i pivu

Rekoh mu, da sam se tukao sa jačim muškarcima
Ali ne mogu da se setim kada
Me je šutnuo kao mazga i uzgrizao kao krokodil
Tad sam čuo njegov smeh i čuoh psovku
Povukao je svoj pištolj ali ja podegoh prvi
Stao je i pogledao u mene i tad videh njegov kez

Reče mi "Sine, svet je tako surov
I ako bi čovek mogao da uspe, mora da bude jak
I znam da nisam mogao da budem tu da ti pomognem
Zato sam ti dao to i ime i rekao zbogom
Znao sam da moraš da se boriš ili da umreš
I to ime je pomoglo da postaneš snažniji!

Dodao je "Sad ti je ostalo još jedna prokleta stvar
Znam da me mrziš, i znam da si u pravu
Ubij me sada, i neću te kriviti zbog toga
Ali mogao bi da mi se zahvališ, pre nekog što umrem
Zbog kamena u tvom srcu i vatre u tvojim očima
Jer ja sam prokletnik koji te nazvao "Su"

Počeh da se gušim i bacih pištolj na tlu
Rekoh mu "oče" i on mi uzvratio "sine"
Otišao sam sa drugačijim razmišljanjem
I kada pomislim na njega, sada i pre
Svaki put pokušam i svaki put uspem
I kad bi imao sina, nazvaću ga
Bil ili Đorđ, bilo kako samo ne "Su"! I dalje mrzim to ime!
