Translation of the song lyrics Citron pesma - Đorđe Balašević

Citron pesma (original)

Joj, da je meni da za čarobnjaka izučim
Cilinder nabavim i zabavim se s’otom magijom
Iz rukava bele zecove da izručim
A tebe mlatnem štapićom, onako, k’o oklagijom
E, kada nećeš mirnim putom
Dobićeš čarobnim prutom
Da se sludiš i već jednom zaljubiš
Kad neće mali anđeli
Srediće mali đavoli
Da mene Lenka na posletku zavoli
Sve ono pati i sanja
Prolazi kroz razna stanja
E, pa Ljubav mora i da zaboli!
U, da je meni da se šnajderaju naučim
Mašinu poteram i doteram moj sako somotan
Pa te sačekam za ćoškom i opaučim
Pa te smotam, jedan-dva, pod taj sako komotan
E, kada nećeš mirnim putom
Okončaćeš pod kaputom
Kada nećeš gradski i demokratski!
Kad neće mali anđeli
Srediće mali đavoli
Da mene Lenka na posletku zavoli
Sve ono pati i sanja
Prolazi kroz razna stanja
E, pa Ljubav mora i da zaboli!
Joj, da je meni ona žuta farba drečava
Kada je oblačno i mračno, a ja mal’ko nabaren
Pa da prođem tvojom tarabom k’o mećava
I metnem grafit erotski, za to sam, kažu, nadaren
E, kada nećeš mirnim putom
Primoran sam citron žutom
Da ti svoje emocije otkrijem
Kad neće mali anđeli
Srediće mali đavoli
Da mene Lenka na posletku zavoli
Sve ono pati i sanja
Prolazi kroz razna stanja
E, pa ljubav mora i da zaboli!
Kad neće mali anđeli
Srediće mali đavoli
Da mene Lenka na posletku zavoli
Sve ono pati i sanja
Prolazi kroz razna stanja
E, pa Ljubav mora i da zaboli!
Jao, što tebi mjauče ta gitara, jao!

(translation)

Oh, that it's up to me to learn to be a wizard
I get a cylinder and have fun with all that magic
To deliver white rabbits up my sleeve
And I beat you with a stick, like a rolling pin
Well, when you don't want a peaceful path
You will get a magic wand
To go crazy and fall in love once and for all
When little angels won't
The little devils will take care of it
Let Lenka fall in love with me in the end
It all suffers and dreams
He goes through various states
Well, Love must hurt!
Uh, that's for me to learn to sew
I chase the machine and tidy up my velvet jacket
So I wait for you around the corner and scold you
So I roll you, one or two, under that comfortable jacket
Well, when you don't want a peaceful path
You'll end up under a coat
When you don't want to be urban and democratic!
When little angels won't
The little devils will take care of it
Let Lenka fall in love with me in the end
It all suffers and dreams
He goes through various states
Well, Love must hurt!
Oh, to me, that yellow paint is flashy
When it's cloudy and dark, and I'm a little wrinkled
So let me walk through your barn like a blizzard
And I put graffiti erotic, for that I am, they say, gifted
Well, when you don't want a peaceful path
I am forced to lemon yellow
Let me tell you my emotions
When little angels won't
The little devils will take care of it
Let Lenka fall in love with me in the end
It all suffers and dreams
He goes through various states
Well, love must hurt!
When little angels won't
The little devils will take care of it
Let Lenka fall in love with me in the end
It all suffers and dreams
He goes through various states
Well, Love must hurt!
Alas, what is that guitar meowing at you, alas!
