Translation of the song lyrics Kad Odem...... - Đorđe Balašević

Kad Odem...... (original)

Kad odem
Kad me đavo isprati, glavnim sokakom
I kad mesečina zaveje moj trag
Nemoj tugovati, jer jednom svakom
Mali nemi slavuj, doleti na prag
Kad odem
Kad zamumla vetar zimske očenaše
I kad mrtvo lišće potera u kas
Za kaznu prognaće i tamburaše
Zbog pogrešne pesme, u pogrešan čas
Hej, budi jaka ti
Najlakše je plakati
To nam samo Gospod svira
Jesenju sonatu
Snio sam
Vrata u tom suvom zlatu
Strah me da prođem
Al' proći ću
Znam, laf si stari ti
Nemoj sve pokvariti
Kresni samo jednu sveću
Na svetog Jovana
Ne čuvaj
Dugo pepeo tih dana
Kad jednom odem
A poći ću
Kad odem
Kad u prozor staviš prvu hrizantemu
I kad popucaju divlji kesteni
Ne pali uzalud, fenjer na tremu
Kad me otmu magle, jedne jeseni

Kad Odem...... (translation)

When I leave
When the devil sees me off, the main alley
And when the moon covers my trail
Don't grieve, because once to everyone
Little dumb nightingale, fly to the doorstep
When I leave
When the wind blew the winter father
And when the dead leaves chase into the trot
Tamburitza players will also be expelled as punishment
Because of the wrong song, at the wrong time
Hey, be strong
It's easiest to cry
Only God plays that for us
Autumn sonata
I dreamed
The door in that dry gold
I'm afraid to pass
But I will pass
I know, you're an old man
Don't ruin everything
Light only one candle
On St. John
Don't watch
Long ashes of those days
Once I leave
And I'll go
When I leave
When you put the first chrysanthemum in the window
And when wild chestnuts crack
Do not light in vain, lantern on the porch
When the fog took me away, one fall
