Translation of the song lyrics Narodnjaci - Đorđe Balašević

Narodnjaci (original)

Narodnjaci, su preuzeli stvar
Znaju sistem i stvaraju dar-mar
Rasturaju po pitanju tiraža
Sve veća je blamaža biti neko od nas
Narodnjaci, su ukrali moj bend
Narodnjaci, su federalni trend
A mi smo gurnuti u ilegalu
Na kom tajnom kanalu naći bazu i spas?
O narodnjaci
Sve vam je u šaci, al' zašto da se baci?
Ma ostavite nešto i za nas
Narodnjaci, braćo i zemljaci
Budite ortaci, pa smanjite taj gas!
Narodnjaci, na ključnim mestima
Narodnjaci, u glavnim vestima
Na džinovskim plakatima u boji
Kud koji mili moji, da vam ne čujem glas
Narodnjaci, sa našim curama
Narodnjaci, u svim strukturama
Od udruženog rada pa do sporta
Narodnjak ante portas, njihov dolazi čas!
Nemaju njive, te perspektive
Armiran beton zove nas sad
A snovi lebde, između negde
Na relaciji selo — grad
Nastupa era, amatera
Iz svoje kože, može se sad
Rapidno stasa, hibridna klasa
Na pola puta, selo — grad

Narodnjaci (translation)

The populists have taken over
They know the system and create a gift
They break up in terms of circulation
It is a growing shame to be one of us
Folks, they stole my band
Populists are a federal trend
And we are pushed into the illegal
On which secret channel to find a base and salvation?
About the people
Everything is in your hands, but why throw it away?
Leave something for us too
Populists, brothers and countrymen
Be friends, reduce that gas!
Populists, in key places
Populists, in the main news
On giant colored posters
Where my dear, let me not hear your voice
Folks, with our girls
Populists, in all structures
From teamwork to sports
Folk ante portas, their hour is coming!
They don't have fields, those perspectives
Reinforced concrete is calling to us now
And dreams float, in between somewhere
On the route village - city
An amateur era is coming
From your own skin, you can now
Rapidly mature, hybrid class
Halfway, village - town
