| Samo jednu želju imam | One wish alone I cradle in my chest, |
| Veruj mi, samo jednu za život ceo | Believe me—one, to last a lifetime's turning, |
| Coby, jesi ti radio traku? | Coby, was it your hand that forged this thread? |
| Samo — da euri i franci samo troše se na flaše i na kurve | Just this: let euros, francs, dissolve in glassy feasts, in women’s burning yearning, |
| Samo — da sve pare bacim kad u klubu samo moju pesmu čujem | Let all my gold be strewn, a rain of coin, when in the club my song ignites the night, |
| Samo — i BMW automatik, samo da po gradu besna kola bruje | And let the BMW, fierce-spirited, howl through the city’s labyrinth like a beast unchained, |
| Samo — da smo živi zdravi, kako bude, samo neka tako bude | Let us be hale and living, fortune’s dice fall as they will—let fate remain unfeigned. |
| Samo jako, da samo brzo trošim zarađeno lako (Samo jako) | Let fire live in me, to squander what I reap as lightly as the wind spends rain, (Let fire live) |
| Samo jako, da samo nikad ništa ne može mi zakon (Ej, ej!) | Let fire live, that no decree nor law shall ever chain my will again (Hey, hey!) |
| Samo jako, da samo brzo trošim zarađeno lako (Samo jako) | Let fire live in me, to squander what I reap as lightly as the wind spends rain (Let fire live) |

| Brate moj, ovo je Balkan, dobro znaju šta je to | Brother, this is Balkan land; its marrow knows the shape of fate. |
| Mafija, novčanice, pevačice i turbo-folk | Mafia, crisp bills, chanteuses, and the thunder of turbo-folk’s parade, |
| Balkan, dobro zna se ko je ko | Balkan—where the river knows each name, each man a secret weight. |
| Zato daj sedi sa nama tu za sto | Sit with us, then, at this table—let your shadow join our shade. |
| Mi pušteni sa lanca sanjamo zlatne lance | Unleashed, we who slipped the leash now dream of chains like sunlight, braided gold, |
| Ne pitaj je zašto ona voli kriminalce | Do not ask her why her heart beats for those who walk the midnight’s edge, |
| Yugo Style — zlatne kajle, bele najke | Yugo Style—golden links, white Nikes, bright as snow unrolled, |
| Najjače su majke što rađaju Balkance | The fiercest mothers bear the sons who call the Balkan home, who hold the pledge. |
| Daj da se pije, samo daj da se pije | Pour out the wine; let every cup be filled in this solemn rite, |
| Da smo živi, zdravi, da je dobro i kada nije | May we be living, whole—may good remain, though fortune falter in the night. |
| Pare su da se troše, samo neka se troše | Coins are for the burning; let the embers of expense consume the hoard, |
| Znamo da će biti dobro čak i kad nam je loše | We know the dawn arrives, even when the hours are poor. |
| Samo — da euri i franci samo troše se na flaše i na kurve | Just this: let euros, francs, dissolve in glassy feasts, in women’s burning yearning, |
| Samo — da sve pare bacim kad u klubu samo moju pesmu čujem | Let all my gold be strewn, a rain of coin, when in the club my song ignites the night, |
| Samo — i BMW automatik, samo da po gradu besna kola bruje | And let the BMW, fierce-spirited, howl through the city’s labyrinth like a beast unchained, |
| Samo — da smo živi zdravi, kako bude, samo neka tako bude | Let us be hale and living, fortune’s dice fall as they will—let fate remain unfeigned. |
| Samo jako, da samo brzo trošim zarađeno lako (Samo jako) | Let fire live in me, to squander what I reap as lightly as the wind spends rain (Let fire live) |
| Samo jako, da samo nikad ništa ne može mi zakon (Ej, ej!) | Let fire live, that no decree nor law shall ever chain my will again (Hey, hey!) |

| A ti svakog dana — žene, piće, klub, kafana | And every day your path—a tapestry of women, drink, the club, the tavern’s haze, |
| Glave će ti doći to što radiš svake noći | Night after night, your games will stake their claim— |
| Mi pušteni sa lanca sanjamo zlatne lance | Unleashed, we who slipped the leash now dream of chains like sunlight, braided gold, |
