Translation of the song Halid umjesto Halida artist Zabranjeno pušenje

Tamo negdje iza sedam gora,

Somewhere there behind seven mountains,

Gdje vozi OOUR Prigradski saobraćaj

where ''Town traffic'' Ltd. is driving,

U maloj kući se rodio Halid,

In a small house Halid was born,

Na nebu je zvijezda zasjala

Star shone up in the sky

Gazda iz kafane Višnja reče:

Boss from the ''Cherry'' tavern said:

Ljudi ovo je dobar znak

''People, this is a good sign

Bit će pjevač, glumac il' političar,

He'll be singer, actor or politician,

A možda i Halid mjesto Halida!

and maybe Halid instead of Halid''

Škola mu nije išla bog zna kako

He wasn't so good at school,

Mrzile ga profesorice

Professors hated him,

A sve je puklo kad je maznuo

And it collapsed when he stole

Lovu od ekskurzije

money from school trip.

Poš'o je pjevati po kafani

He went to sing at tavern,

Bilo je gadno bilo je degeneka

It was bad there were fights

K'o onda kad je pjev'o Tamo daleko

Like then when he sang ''Far far away''

Kamiondžiji iz Čitluka

to truck driver from Čitluk.

Al' sve se nekako predevera

But you can climb past all of that,

Kad imaš viziju imaš san

when you have a vision, when you have a dream

Gutu para, koka povazdan

He's full of money, coke all day

Da budeš Halid mjesto Halida

So you can be Halid instead of Halid

Menađer Boro ga uzeo pod svoje

Manager Boro took him under him own,

U Sarajevu da ploče snimaju

In Sarajevo to record vinyls

Novine su pisale:To nisu čista posla

Newspapers wrote:'' That aint clean business

Tu se turske pjesme hapaju!

There's a lot of turkish songs''

Al' Halidu su rekli da ne pita ništa

But they told Halid not to ask questions,

Da se smije i kad ne konta fol

to laugh even when he doesn't understand the joke,

Imat će kuću s teniskim terenom

he'll have house with tennis court,

BMW-a kešom plaćenog

BMW payed in cash

Al' sve se nekako predevera

But you can climb past all of that,

Kad imaš viziju, imaš san

when you have a vision, when you have a dream

Gutu para, koka povazdan

He's full of money, coke all day

Da budeš Halid mjesto Halida

So you can be Halid instead of Halid

Dobro je mali, odmori malo

It's okay kid, take a rest

Ovdje bi treb'o ići solo,

Here should go solo,

Tu se naša priča prekida

this is where our story breaks apart

Uglavnom Halid i postade Halid

anyways Halid did become Halid

Mjesto Halida

instead of Halid

Hajd opet mali

Come on again

Fala daidža

Thank you uncle

A sad opet ja

Now me again

Al' dobre pjesme dobiv'o je sve rjeđe

But he was given good songs more rarely

Prestigli ga neki pastuvi brzi

He was overtaken by some fast stallions

Što im je nekad zvao ture

To whom he used to pay drinks

Što ih je pusto da vire kada guzi

To whom he let peek when he was getting some ass

Štok mu u ruci mjesto mikrofona

''Stock whiskey'' in his hand instead of microphone

Sve rjeđe na naslovnim stranama

Rarely on cover pages

Ženu su mu vidjeli na Stojičevcu

His wife was seen at Stojičevac

S nekim juniorom Sarajeva

With some football club junior

Al' jedno veče se odvez'o u brda

But one night he drove himself up on mountains

I odozgo gled'o kako svijetli grad

and from there he looked at city lights

I iznad neke male kuće

and above some small house

Na nebu je zvijezda zasjala

the star shone up in the sky

I k'o da mu se neka velika težina

and like some big weight

Sama s leđa skinula

was lifted from his back

Došlo je vrijeme da neko drugi bude

It was time that someone else was

Halid mjesto Halida

Halid instead of Halid
