Translation of the song lyrics O, Bože - Đorđe Balašević

O, Bože (original)

Upalim radio da čujem
Gde su drugovi cenjeni
Koji su bednici na kojoj sednici
Večeras smenjeni
Ugasim radio, prelistam novine
Da vidim šta se odjutros obećava
Članovi, klanovi, Gebelsi
Ždanovi, magla i mećava
O Bože, ti valjda znaš šta radiš
Ti imaš bolji pregled, majstore (legendo)
Ali iz našeg tupog ugla izgleda gusto
O Bože, nije da kukam da nas vadiš
Al' zapelo je negde, treba nam tip sa iskustvom
Postoje opravdane sumnje
Da sam pravi genije
Samo sto više nemam pojma
Šta bih s' tim
O, zakaj nisam vanzemaljac
Iz SR Slovenije?
Lepo mi dođe da se otcepim
U TV dnevniku
Istočni Nemci ruše zid.
'Leba ti?!
Ne minirati, već razmontirati
Nama će trebati
Sve ću rasprodati
Jedino neću gramofon, ostali «zbogom»
Znam, mogu mediji biti i bedniji
Ali ne mnogo

(translation)

I turn on the radio to hear
Where comrades are valued
What are the wretches at which session
Shifted tonight
I turn off the radio, leaf through the newspaper
Let's see what is promised this morning
Members, clans, Goebbels
Ghosts, fog and blizzards
Oh God, I guess you know what you're doing
You have a better overview, master (legend)
But from our blunt angle it looks dense
Oh God, I'm not whining you're taking us out
But it's stuck somewhere, we need a guy with experience
There are justified doubts
That I am a true genius
I just have no idea anymore
What would I do with that
Oh, why am I not an alien
From SR Slovenia?
It was nice for me to break away
In the TV diary
East Germans tear down a wall.
'Leba ti ?!
Do not mine, but dismantle
We will need it
I'll sell everything
Only I don't want a turntable, the others "goodbye"
I know, the media can be poorer
But not much
