Lyrics of Šansona - Đorđe Balašević

Šansona (original)

O Bože dragi, sve što kažem
Odmah vuče na šansonu
Tako na penal dospevam
Da svaku glupost otpevam
I već se plašim da sam veštac
Ili već u tom fazonu
Jer sve što pevam pogodim
Uvek se tako dogodi…
Gone me ko da sam vražiji vrag
I sve je manje onih kojim sam drag
I sve je više onih što mi baš nisu skloni…
Hteli bi da mi smrse končiće
Ali pobrkaću im lončiće
Imam na kapi nove, ratne zvončiće…
Za teta-lije iz pešadije
Baš nisam po rezonu
Nešto im nisam logičan
Jasno, čim nisam običan
I sve što ne sme da se kaže
Ja provučem kroz šansonu
I kad se vlasi dosete
Isteklo vreme posete…
Hteli bi…
Ova konkurencija baš prija
Zgodni momci za sezonu
Mene je sreća služila
Sezona se odužila…
O Bože dragi, sve što kažem
Odmah vuče na l' šansonu
I neki misle: lako je…
Dabome, deco, tako je

(translation)

Oh dear God, everything I say
He immediately pulls on the chanson
That's how I get to the penalty spot
To sing every nonsense
And I'm already afraid of being a wizard
Or already in that style
Because I guess everything I sing
It always happens that way…
They chase me like I'm the devil
And there are fewer and fewer of those I love
And there are more and more of those who are not very fond of me…
They want me to lose weight
But I'll confuse their pots
I have new, war bells on my hat…
For aunts from the infantry
I'm not very reasonable
I'm not logical to them
Of course, as soon as I'm not ordinary
And everything we can't say
I run through the chanson
And when the hairs come up
Expired visit time…
Would you like…
This competition is very pleasing
Handsome guys for the season
Happiness served me
The season has lengthened…
Oh dear God, everything I say
He immediately pulls on the chanson
And some think: it's easy…
Of course, children, that's right
