Translation of the song Ljubav udari često tamo gdje ne treba artist Zabranjeno pušenje

Podno planina i orlovih krila on je pio potok s izvora

Under the mountains and the eagles' wings he drank water from a well

Vode su tekle, a srne bi rekle raja eno malog Milana

The waters ran and the roes would say: People, here is little Milan

Vatra s ognjišta je grijala pet sjenki sa zidova,

The fire from the hearth warmed five shadows on the wall

A na zidu Zvezda crvena, Bijelo Dugme i Sveti Nikola

And on the wall there was a red star, a white button and St. Nicolas

Next to the house there was a stable

U štali sjeno ispod sjena maljutka

In the stable, there - hay, and under the hay, a malyutka*

A u brata firma krenula

Govorio je svečano riječima predaka

He was talking solemnly with the words of their ancestors

Mog dedu su jurili Turci, a vašeg Austrija

My grandfather was hunted by the Turks, and yours by Austria

Ja sam bježo od ustaškog noža, od tada sam sjed

I had to hide from Ustashas' knifes, that made my hair gray

Fazila was as soft as silk, a true fairy, only without wings

Babo joj je trgovo kožom od Visokog pa do Goražđa

Her dad traded leather, from Visoko, to Gorazhde

U kući vazda osmjesi, baklava i puna tepsija

In their home, always smiles, baklava** and plenty of food

Imala je četiri brata, četiri vita jelena

She had four brothers, four limber deers

Children, we have to defend Bosnia, our own

Zagleda se tad u brata brat,

Milan was roaming the destroyed town

Tražeć brata rođena

Looking for his own brother

Al' umjesto brata ispod jorgovana stajala je lijepa Fazila

But instead of his brother, under a lilac bush, beautiful Fazila was standing

Ti ideš sada samnom jasna su pravila

You are coming with me now, the rules are clear

Tvoja braća drže moga brata

Your brothers have my brother

Slijedi razmjena

There's gonna be an exchange

Ništa ti se neće desit ako budeš pametna

Nothing will happen to you, if you are smart

Al' ljubav udari često tamo gdje ne treba

Pet dana je sjedila u uglu, kao pet stotina godina

Blagi dodir usnama, jebena je sudbina

A gentle touch of the lips, destiny is a bitch

Zar ti je mala Turkinja mozak popila

Did the little Turk steal your brains

Zar ti ništa ne znače srpstvo i Sveti Nikola

Don't serbianship and St. Nicolas mean anything to you?

Zar da ti brata na kolac nabiju, govorila je rodbina

Do you want to get your brother impaled on the pole, relatives asked

Zar ne znaš da je rat, đe ziviš ti

Where do you live, don't you know we are at war?

Ona ostaje samnom jeb'te se svi

She stays with me, fuck you all

I uzalud je stig'o haber da je spremna razmjena

And in vain the notice came that the exchange was ready

Uzalud je babo slao novce

In vain her dad sent money

Vrati nam se jedina

Come back our only daughter

Moja je ovdje zadnja, ja ne idem od Milana

I have the last word here, I am not leaving Milan

Jer ljubav udari često tamo gdje ne treba

Milan and Fazila or Milana and Fazil

Jer ljubav udari često tamo gdje ne treba

Cause love often strikes where it shouldn't

I kad joj se čovjek najmanje nada

I u plamenu sve obično strada

A disaster follows

Podno planina i orlovih krila on je pio potok s izvora

Under the mountains and the eagles' wings he drank water from a well
