Translation of the song lyrics Kuba - Darko Rundek, Cargo Orkestar

Kuba (original)

Kad prođem starim kvartom kestena
Na bivšoj granici Zagreba
Osjetim se sasvim nespreman
Za to što vidim tu
Kako je samo lako nestala
Stara slika stvari
Ova boja nije moja
Ja drugoj tajnu znam
U drugom dvorištu pila svira
Kad ostanemo sami
I plove brodovi od papira
U neku zanosnu noć
Nad nama proniču krošnje kestena
Skriveni u tami
A ruska vojna glazba svira
Sa televizora
Tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr
Trubu
Kupit ću si trubu
I k k k k k k
Kubu
Otići na Kubu
Tamo nema bajnih dama
S ogromnih reklama
Nitko kruha gladan nije
I nema demokracije
Tamo je bogat koji ima
Vremena i dima
Tamo se srcem prima
I dijeli sa svima
Tamo ima ruma puno
Da nas mine sumnja

Kuba (translation)

When I pass through the old chestnut quarter
On the former border of Zagreb
I feel completely unprepared
For what I see there
How easily she disappeared
Old picture of things
This color is not mine
I know another secret
In the second yard, a saw is playing
When we are alone
And paper ships sail
Into some ravishing night
The crowns of chestnut trees peek out above us
Hidden in the darkness
And the Russian military music is playing
From the television
Tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr
Trumpet
I will buy myself a trumpet
And k k k k k k
Cuba
Go to Cuba
There are no fairy ladies there
With huge advertisements
No one is hungry for bread
And there is no democracy
There is a rich who has
Weather and smoke
There is a warm welcome there
And share with everyone
There is a lot of rum there
That we have no doubt
