Translation of the song lyrics Svete Krave - Arsen Dedic

Svete Krave (original)

Dok svaka trpi svoje uže
I svaka svoj nož iznad glave
Samo su one izvan muže —
Nedodirljive, svete krave
Vrijeme je zlo i nesigurno
Mnoga će zauvijek iza brave
Krava iz opreza krave se kloni
Sigurne su jedino svete krave
Nikada ništa nisu dale
A svi se klanjaju, svi ih slave
Samo ih kolju gladne oči
Dok gradom gaze svete krave
A mi koje smo davale rogove i papke
I koje su vukli za rep i za vime
Nas će na panjeve i na kuke
Kao obične krave, anonimne
A mi koje smo smjerno vukle kola
I davale putem mlijeka i mesa
Nas već polako klanici vode
Dok svete krave dižu u nebesa

Svete Krave (translation)

While each suffers its own rope
And each his own knife over his head
Only those outside the husband -
Untouchables, holy cows
The weather is evil and uncertain
Many will be behind bars forever
The cow shuns the cow out of caution
Only sacred cows are safe
They never gave anything
And everyone bows, everyone celebrates them
They are just slaughtered by hungry eyes
While holy cows are trampling the city
And we who gave horns and hooves
And which they pulled by the tail and by the udder
They will hit us on stumps and hooks
Like ordinary cows, anonymous
And we who pulled the car humbly
And they gave through milk and meat
Slaughterhouses are already leading us slowly
As the holy cows soar into the heavens
