Translation of the song lyrics Virovitica - Đorđe Balašević

Virovitica (original)

Ja nikad dosad nisam bio u Americi
I ne nameravam
Mene da zvizne neki tip, za dolar, dva, pa čak i tri
Nemam tih nerava
A baš bih voleo da vidim Kaliforniju
I još par tačaka
Al' imam strašnu fobiju
Od onih narkosa i tamno crnih mačaka
So sorry USA, možda si ti OK
Možda me priče varaju
Al' ja bih ipak ostao tu
I nikad nisam bio u Sovjetskom Savezu
I ne nameravam
Bio bih u tom Savezu kao u nekom kavezu
Nemam tih nerava
Al' baš bih voleo da stignem sve do Rostova
Ili do Gruzije
Plašim se tolkog prostora
Možda se negde zagube moje iluzije
Izvini SSSR, možda si sasvim fer
Možda me priče varaju
Al' ja bih ipak ostao tu
Amerika je divna, predivna čak
Čim u njoj zivi Paja Patak zvani Donald Duck
Al' nije svako kao Donald, mene plaši onaj Ronald
Taj je nezgodan
Imamo neke veze Rusi i ja.
(Horošo!)
Onaj me Dostojevski jednostavno obara
Al' nisu svi k’o Dostojevski, mene plaši Sibirevski
Taj je prohladan!
I ja ću ostati tu!
Ali sam često pevao u Virovitici
I dobro prošao
Mada su strme litice svud oko Virovitice
Opet bih došao
U Virovitici, ne postoje pritisci
I žive mirno svi, kao hipici u Virovitici

Virovitica (translation)

I've never been to America before
And I do not intend to
Me to whistle some guy, for a dollar, two, even three
I don't have those nerves
And I would love to see California
And a few more points
But I have a terrible phobia
From those narcotics and dark black cats
So sorry USA, maybe you're OK
Maybe stories deceive me
But I would still stay there
And I was never in the Soviet Union
And I do not intend to
I would be in that Alliance like in a cage
I don't have those nerves
But I would really like to get all the way to Rostov
Or to Georgia
I'm afraid of so much space
Maybe my illusions get lost somewhere
Sorry USSR, you may be quite fair
Maybe stories deceive me
But I would still stay there
America is wonderful, beautiful even
As soon as Paja Patak aka Donald Duck lives in it
But not everyone is like Donald, that Ronald scares me
That's awkward
The Russians and I have some connections.
(Good!)
That Dostoevsky just knocks me down
But not everyone is like Dostoevsky, Siberian scares me
That one is cool!
I'll stay there too!
But I often sang in Virovitica
And it went well
Although there are steep cliffs all around Virovitica
I would come again
In Virovitica, there is no pressure
And everyone lives peacefully, like hippies in Virovitica
