Translation of the song Zašto me ne podnosi tvoj tata artist Bijelo dugme

Upoznaj me sa tvojim starim

Introduce me to your old man,

daj majku mu

Oh come on for goodness' sakes.

daj nek me pozovu na ručak

Have them invite me to dinner,

sad u nedjelju

This coming Sunday.

neću ni srkati

I won't slurp.

neću ni mljackati

I won't smack my lips.

neću ni opsovati

I won't swear.

Mogu doći i pijan

I can even come drunk,

neću podrignuti ni poslije piva

I won't burp even after beer.

Zašto me ne podnosi tvoj tata

Why can't your Dad stand me?

zašto majku mu

Why, for goodness' sake?

odijelo ne pravi čovjeka

The suit does not make the man,

šta je njemu

What's wrong with him?

I reci mu da zna

And tell him so he knows,

i reci mu da zna

And tell him so he knows,

da kad već nije prošao bolje

That though he could have done better,

mogao je i proći puno gore

He could have done a lot worse too.

Bez obzira pozdravi ga

Whatever, say hi to him.

bez obzira

Whatever.

a zapravo baš me briga

Actually, I really don't care.

Zašto me ne podnosi tvoj tata

Why can't your Dad stand me?

niko nije savršen

Nobody's perfect.

jako me nervira tvoj tata

Your Dad really winds me up,

jer volim da me voli

Because I'd like him to like me.

Zašto me ne podnosi tvoj tata (x2)

Why can't your Dad stand me? (x2)
