Translation of the song Noć Mi Te Duguje artist Zdravko Čolić
Noć Mi Te Duguje
The Night Owes You to Me
Dolazi noć, gasi se dan,
Night is approaching, daylight switches off
a noću sve se čuje
At night everything can be heard
i svaka pjesma truje,
And every song is poison,
noć mi te duguje.
The night owes you to me.
Noćni sam čovjek,
I am a man of the night,
noćas i dovjek... zbog tebe.
Tonight and forever... because of you.
A sad za sve, cigana dva
On top of it all, two gypsies appear
jedan da život psuje,
One to curse this life
drugi da povjeruje,
The other who believes him,
noć mi te duguje.
The night owes you to me.
Takav sam čovjek,
That is the man I am,
noćas i dovjek... zbog tebe.
Tonight and forever... because of you.
Zbog tebe kucaću, lupaću ljudima na vrata,
For you I will howl, bang on people's doors
budiću ulicu, pjevacu svima iz inata.
I'll wake the street, sing loudly in spite,
Reciće: Opet je popio,
They'll say: He's drinking again,
Vidi ga kako se ubio,
Look at how he ruined himself,
opet je vrata poljubio.
Again his face kissed a closed door.
A ja pijan, a nisam popio
I'm drunk, but I didn't drink a drop
ni kapi neka se čuje,
Not a drop - do you hear?
ni kapi ko da mi vjeruje?
Not a drop - who believes me?
A jesam ja rusvaj pravio,
But I did cause a wreck,
pravio, evo ga, tu je,
He did - there he is!
jesam, jer noć mi te duguje.
Yes I did, because the night owes you to me.
