Translation of the song lyrics Materijalist - Elemental

Materijalist (original)

Reko sam sebi, ne znam kad je to točno bilo
Da ću ganjat drukčije ideale, što god to uopće značilo
I pazit ću na sebe, na kvalitetu života
Ne bit pohlepan materijalist — jer tog me je sramota
Reko sam sebi da moram imat samo ono bitno
Radit ću da zaradim, da nemam uvijek samo sitno po džepovima
Imat ću svakom za platit piće
Bit ću dobar prema svakom o meni neće pričat priče
Reko sam sebi, nema nošenja stare robe
Čarape kad mi puknu odma kupujem nove
Nema krpanja, prekrajanja, vađenja fleka iz košulje
Ne nosim stare pulovere sve dok im se rukavi ne izdulje
Reko sam sebi, čak sam par put si ponovio
Onako za svaki slučaj — da ne bi zaboravio
Nemoj bit ko drugi, nemoj bit materijalist
Pred sobom, Bogom i ljudima moraš bit čist
Hej pusti priče, ne okreći list
Jer ne možeš pobjeći
Kad si materijalist
Ma ma ma ma materijalist
Pa kaže…
Plan realizacije — oznaka «hitno!», dvotočka
Moram se koncentrirat samo na ono bitno
Sat mi se već raspada na ruci je još od krizme
Riješit ga se, bacit ga, a novi da na kazaljke se uzme
Slijedeće mobitel, a i taj je skoro krepo
Pišem nabavit novi i to neki koji izgleda lijepo
Dat auto na pranje, sicevi da se bijele
I odvest ga na servis da mu promjene lamele
Kupit knjigu, e to moram posebno markirat
Ne valja posuđivat i to onda fotokopirat
Kupit knjigu, čitat ju jer od nje postajem bolji
I ne valja preskakat stranice onog što mi nije po volji
Hej pusti priče, ne okreći list
Jer ne možeš pobjeći
Kad si materijalist
Ma ma ma ma materijalist
I šta sad… aha…
Nastavak plana za osobni boljitak
Ne valja uvijek gledat na financijski dobitak
Pomoć koji put ljudima — podcrtaj ovo «pomoć»
Makar nemaju za platit u susret im probaj izać'
Nabavit nove hlače, ove se drapaju već na peti
Otić do hiphop stora uzet nešto za nosit ljeti
Sljedeća točka cura — - - to ne treba mijenjat
Probat se baš ne svađat tako neš niš ukenjat
Bit bolji prema sebi, radit na sebi iznutra
I počet s realizacijom tog plana već od sutra
Moralne vrijednosti, posebno na njih pazit
Potrudit se uspjet al pri tom nikoga ne zgazit
Novce zaradit, kolko je potrebno, tek toliko da ih ima
Da ova gore napisana računica financijski štima
Pred sobom, Bogom i ljudima uvijek ostat čist

Materijalist (translation)

I told myself, I don’t know when exactly that was
That I will pursue different ideals, whatever that means at all
And I will take care of myself, the quality of life
Don't be a greedy materialist - because I'm ashamed of it
I told myself I had to have only the essentials
I will work to make money, so that I don't always have small change in my pockets
I'll have everyone to pay for a drink
I'll be nice to everyone they won't tell stories about me
I told myself, no carrying old goods
When my socks break, I buy new ones right away
No patching, re-cutting, removing stains from the shirt
I don’t wear old sweaters until their sleeves are long
I told myself, I even repeated it a couple of times
Just in case - not to forget
Don't be like anyone else, don't be a materialist
You have to be clean in front of yourself, God and people
Hey let go of the stories, don't turn the page
Because you can't escape
When you are a materialist
Ma ma ma ma materialist
So he says…
Implementation plan - label "urgent!", Colon
I have to concentrate only on the essentials
The watch is already falling apart on my arm since the confirmation
Get rid of it, throw it away, and get a new one on the hands
The next cell phone, and that one is almost crepe
I'm writing to get a new one and one that looks nice
Give the car a wash, the wheels to turn white
And take him to the service station to change his slats
To buy a book, I have to mark it separately
It should not be borrowed and then photocopied
Buy a book, read it because it makes me better
And I shouldn't skip the pages of what I don't like
Hey let go of the stories, don't turn the page
Because you can't escape
When you are a materialist
Ma ma ma ma materialist
And what now… aha…
Continuation of the plan for personal well-being
One should not always look at financial gain
Help people a lot - underline this "help"
At least they don't have to pay to meet them, try to get out '
Get new pants, these are draped already on the heel
Go to the hip hop store to take something to wear in the summer
The next point of the girl - - - it does not need to change
Try not to argue so you can't do anything
Be better towards yourself, work on yourself from within
And start with the realization of that plan tomorrow
Moral values, especially pay attention to them
Try to succeed but not trample anyone
Make as much money as you need, just enough to have it
That this calculation written above fits financially
Always stay clean in front of yourself, God and people
