|---|---|
| Kad prođem starim kvartom kestena | When I pass through the old chestnut quarter |
| Na bivšoj granici Zagreba | On the former border of Zagreb |
| Osjetim se sasvim nespreman | I feel completely unprepared |
| Za to što vidim tu | For what I see there |
| Kako je samo lako nestala | How easily she disappeared |
| Stara slika stvari | Old picture of things |
| Ova boja nije moja | This color is not mine |
| Ja drugoj tajnu znam | I know another secret |
| U drugom dvorištu pila svira | In the second yard, a saw is playing |
| Kad ostanemo sami | When we are alone |
| I plove brodovi od papira | And paper ships sail |
| U neku zanosnu noć | Into some ravishing night |
| Nad nama proniču krošnje kestena | The crowns of chestnut trees peek out above us |
| Skriveni u tami | Hidden in the darkness |
| A ruska vojna glazba svira | And the Russian military music is playing |
| Sa televizora | From the television |
| Tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr | Tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr |
| Trubu | Trumpet |
| Kupit ću si trubu | I will buy myself a trumpet |
| I k k k k k k | And k k k k k k |
| Kubu | Cuba |
| Otići na Kubu | Go to Cuba |
| Tamo nema bajnih dama | There are no fairy ladies there |
| S ogromnih reklama | With huge advertisements |
| Nitko kruha gladan nije | No one is hungry for bread |
| I nema demokracije | And there is no democracy |
| Tamo je bogat koji ima | There is a rich who has |
| Vremena i dima | Weather and smoke |
| Tamo se srcem prima | There is a warm welcome there |
| I dijeli sa svima | And share with everyone |
| Tamo ima ruma puno | There is a lot of rum there |
| Da nas mine sumnja | That we have no doubt |
