Translation of the song lyrics Crno Beli Svet - Riblja Čorba

Crno Beli Svet (original)

Gde god nadjes ‘ladovinu
tu crnca posadi
tu je crnac navikao
ne voli da radi
Ni ja necu da radim
necu ni da pokusavam
ako me budu terali
ja cu da zabusavam
Kako god okrenes, okreni, obrni
crnci i dalje ostaju crni
kako god okrenes, hteli, ne hteli
belci i dalje ostaju beli
Kako mogu da radim
kad radnih navika nemam
u ‘ladovini se ‘ladim
blejim i malo dremam
Izlezavam se na travi
i hrcem kao hrcak
citao sam cvrcak i mravi
ja cu da budem cvrcak

Crno Beli Svet (translation)

Wherever you find ‘shade’
there the black man planted
that's where the black man got used to it
he doesn't like to work
I don't want to work either
I won't even try
if they force me
I'm going to screw up
Whichever way you turn, turn, turn
blacks still remain black
however you turn, whether you like it or not
whites still remain white
How can I work
when I have no work habits
in ‘ladovini se’ ladim
I bleat and take a nap
I lie down on the grass
and a hamster like a hamster
I read crickets and ants
I'll be a cricket
