Translation of the song Kanjon Drine artist Zabranjeno pušenje

Kanjon Drine je ispred nas,

The Drina canyon is in front of us

Stopamo Mufa, Kiki i ja,

Mufa, Kiki and I are marching,

Snijeg se topi, cesta je prazna,

The snow is melting, the road is clear,

Stao nam je stari kamiondžija

An old truck driver stopped for us

Planine gole vrletne lomile nam put,

Naked craggy mountains were breaking our path

Gazda je vozio vidno neraspoložen,

The boss was driving obviously in a bad mood

Više tužan no ljut

More sad than angry

Smanjuje brzinu, pripaljuje cigaru,

He is slowing down, lighting a cigarette,

U mraku mu svijetle oči,

His eyes glow in the dark,

Gazda tihim glasom reče:

The boss says with a quiet voice:

Neće ovo, djeco, na dobro poći

This won't go well, kids,

Jer sve ide unatrag,

Because everything is going backwards,

Živimo u plemenima k'o Apači,

We live in tribes like the Apache,

A gde ćemo, djeco, i ja i vi

Where are we to go, kids, both me and you,

Nama srce kuca za sve njih

Our hearts are beating for all of them

Probudi me, ovo je neki ružan san,

Wake me up, this is some kind of a bad dream,

Što manje, dijete, znaš to si manje nesretan

The less you know, child, the less unhappy you are

Planine gole vrletne lomile nam put,

Naked craggy mountains were breaking our path

Gazda je vozio vidno neraspoložen,

The boss was driving obviously in a bad mood

Više tužan no ljut

More sad than angry

Hadžije su sebi podijelili rejone,

Important men divided up the regions among themselves,

Djecu evakuišu avionima,

Children are being evacuated by planes,

A ja se osjećam nezgodno,

And I'm feeling unwell

Kao zebra na Brionima

Like a zebra on the Brijuni

A vama će, djeco, biti najljepše,

And for you, kids, it will be the best,

Vi ste navikli rano u krevet,

You are used to going to bed early

Uskoro ćemo svi mi,

Soon all of us will be

Imati izlaz samo do devet

Allowed to be out only till nine

Probudi me, ovo je neki ružan san

Wake me up, this is some kind of a bad dream,

Što manje, dijete, znaš to si manje nesretan

The less you know, child, the less unhappy you are

Kanjon Drine je iza nas,

The Drina canyon is behind us,

Ispred nas je ravna Romanija

The flat Romanija is in front of us

Snijeg se topi, ništa neće

The snow is melting, nothing will

Zaustaviti dolazak novog proljeća

Stop the coming of a new spring
