Translation of the song lyrics Neki Se Rode Kraj Vode - Đorđe Balašević

Neki Se Rode Kraj Vode (original)

Neki se rode kraj vode, plavetne
I život im surov ritam nametne
S' neba sve i metalik BMW
I one tanke talijanske cipele
Što lako gaze i dobro prolaze
U leto nude nam geto, šatore
Pet zvezda za ljute okupatore
Kinta-dve za noviji BMW
U fond za tanke talijanske cipele
Što lako gaze i dobro prolaze
Samo prebroje Švapce k’o deca klikere
I samo nataknu tamne cvikere
Miki, pa to je kao na sliki
Orlovi rano lete na plavim markama
A galebovi nad belim barkama kruže, to je nepravda druže…
Mene je geografski faktor omeo
Da ikad vozim alfa romeo
Nervi su na rezerevi…
Neki se rode kraj vode, i to je kraj
Furesti furaju sve za zimmer frei
Nov TV i felge za BMW
I nove tanke talijanske cipele
Što lako gaze i dobro prolaze
Ometen, dakle, pomenutim faktorom
Jurim kroz njive sportskim traktorom
Nervi su na rezervi…
Moj život nije toj priči ni nalik
Ja imam srp i čekić metalik
I čekova za još par vekova
Na mom su putu mutne baruštine
Hiljadu rupa odavde do skupštine
Rođen sam kraj kanala za navodnjavanje
Meni je glavna stavka davanje
Miki, a dotle na onoj sliki
Orlovi rano lete na plavim markama
A galebovi nad belim barkama kruže, pa to je nepravda druže…
Cipele tanke su za šminku i za jazz
A bata nosi model stiplčez
Nervi su na rezerevi
Samo prebroje Švapce k’o deca klikere
I samo nataknu tamne cvikere
Miki… kao na sliki
Orlovi rano lete na plavim markama…
A galebovi nad belim barkama kruže…

Neki Se Rode Kraj Vode (translation)

Some are born near water, blue
And life imposes a cruel rhythm on them
From heaven everything and metallic BMW
And those thin Italian shoes
Which treads easily and passes well
In the summer they offer us ghettos, tents
Five stars for angry occupiers
Kinta-two for the newer BMW
In the fund for thin Italian shoes
Which treads easily and passes well
Just count the Swabians as clicker children
And they just put on dark squeakers
Mickey, it's like the picture
Eagles fly early on blue stamps
And the seagulls are circling over the white boats, that's an injustice, buddy…
I was distracted by the geographical factor
To ever drive an alfa romeo
Nerves are on the reserves…
Some are born near water, and that is the end
Furesti steal everything for zimmer frei
New TV and wheels for BMW
And new thin Italian shoes
Which treads easily and passes well
Disrupted, therefore, by the mentioned factor
I run through the fields with a sports tractor
Nerves are in reserve…
My life is not like that story
I have a sickle and a metal hammer
And checks for a few more centuries
There are muddy swamps on my way
A thousand holes from here to the assembly
I was born near an irrigation canal
To me, the main item is giving
Mickey, and in that picture
Eagles fly early on blue stamps
And the seagulls are circling over the white boats, so that's an injustice, buddy…
The shoes are thin for makeup and jazz
And Bata wears a steeplechase model
The nerves are on the reserves
Just count the Swabians as clicker children
And they just put on dark squeakers
Mickey… as in the picture
Eagles fly early on blue stamps…
And seagulls are circling over white boats…
