Mark Knopfler - What It Is
The drinking dens are spilling out
There's staggering in the square
There's lads and lasses falling about
And a crackling in the air
Down around the dungeon doors
The shelters and the queues
Everybody's looking for
Somebody's arms to fall into
That's what it is
It's what it is now
There's frost on the graves and the monuments
But the taverns are warm in town
People curse the government
And shovel hot food down
Lights are out in the city hall
The castle and the keep
The moon shines down upon it all
The legless and asleep
And it's cold on the tollgate
With the wagons creeping through
Cold on the tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
That's what it is
It's what it is now
The garrison sleeps in the citadel
With the ghosts and the ancient stonesMark Knopfler - What It Is - http://motolyrics.com/mark-knopfler/what-it-is-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
High up on the parapet
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
The highland drums begin to roll
And something from the past just comes
And stares into my soul
And it's cold on the tollgate
Let the drums beat the tatoo
Cold on the tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
That's what it is
It's what it is now
What it is
It's what it is now
There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
There's a lantern in the tower
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
On Charlotte Street I take
A walking stick from my hotel
The ghost of Dirty Dick
Is still in search of Little Nell
That's what it is
It's what it is now
It's what it is
What it is now
Mark Knopfler - Šta je (Serbian translation)
Jazbine za pijančenje se rasturaju
Teturanja su na trgu
Tu su momci i cure puno se smeju
I pucketanja u vazduhu
Dole oko vrata tamnice
Skloništa i redovi
Svi traže
Da padnu u nečije ruke
To je ono šta je
To je ono što je sad
Ima mraza na grobovima i spomenicima
Ali taverne su tople u gradu
Ljudi proklinju vladu
I trpaju vrelu hranu dole
Svetla su pogašena u gradskoj skupštini
Tvrđava i glavna kula
Mesec sija dole na sve
Veoma pijane i usnule
A hladno je na rampi
Sa vagonima koji se šunjaju
Hladno na rampi
Bog zna šta sam mogao da uradim sa tobom
To je ono šta je
To je ono što je sad
Garnizon spava u citadeli
Sa duhovima i drevnim kamenjem
Visoko na parapetuMark Knopfler - What It Is - http://motolyrics.com/mark-knopfler/what-it-is-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
Škotski gajdaš stoji sam
A visoko na vetru
Gorštački bubnjevi počinju da bruje
I nešto iz prošlosti tek dolazi
I u moju dušu zuri
A hladno je na rampi
a bubnjevi najavljuju povorku
Hladno na rampi
Bog zna šta sam mogao da uradim sa tobom
To je ono šta je
To je ono što je sad
Šta je
To je ono što je sad
Tu je pukotina svetlosti, tu je gorući fitilj
Tu je fenjer u kuli
Wee Willie Winkie sa svećnjakom
I dalje piše pesme u osvit zore
Ulicom Charlotte uzimam
Štap za šetnju ka mom hotelu
Duh Dirty Dick-a
I dalje je u potrazi za Little Nell
To je ono šta je
To je ono što je sad
Šta je
To je ono što je sad
