Translation of the song Bože, Bože... artist Đorđe Balašević

Bože, Bože, di baš ja, od svih sretnih Cigana,

GOD, GOD, WHY ME, FROM ALL HAPPY GIPSIES

da se rodim baš kad zadremaš?

TO BE BORN EXACTLY WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP?

Da me ne blagosloviš... Nikad ni ne osloviš...

WITHOUT YOU BLESSING ME.. NEVER SAY A WORD TO ME..

Dok za nekim... Makarkakvim... Vašar raspremaš?

WHILE FOR SOME.. IT DOESNT MATTER WHO.. YOU CLEAR AWAY THE FAIR

Dvaes'četir dinara dužan sam kod mlinara...

24 DINARS [MONEY] I OWE TO THE MILLER

Kod kovača ne smem svraćati...

TO THE BLACKSMITH I CANT EVEN COME BY

Juri me dućandžija... Švićka za mnom kamdžija...

SHOPKEEPER IS AFTER ME... THE WHIP IS CRACKING AFTER ME

Jedva imam svirce plaćati...

I BARELY HAVE TO PAY THE PLAYERS [MUSICIANS]

Za mnom cika... Za mnom potraga... A preda mnom put za Dovraga...

MAKING NOISE AFTER ME.. SEARCHING FOR ME.. AND IN FRONT OF ME THE ROAD TO HELL

Bar da mi je fićok rakije... Tu bi moglo da se sakrije...

IF I ONLY HAD A BRANDY GLASS.. YOU COULD HIDE IN THERE..

Još kad onda svirci nagare... Sve ću dati, sve ću propiti...

AND WHEN PLAYERS START TO PLAY.. I WILL GIVE EVERYTHING, I WILL DRINK EVERYTHING AWAY

Samo neću moje malo magare... S belegom na levoj kopiti...

I ONLY WONT GIVE MY LITTLE COLT.. WITH MARK ON HIS LEFT HOOF

Niko mene ne zna slušati... Ko moj verni drugar ušati...

NOBODY KNOW HOW TO LISTEN TO ME.. LIKE MY FAITHFUL FRIEND [usati means with ears lol.. so eary faithful friend ? ]

Za mnom ići i sanjariti... A ne kvariti....

TO WALK AFTER ME AND TO DREAM.. WITHOUT SPOILING IT.. [the dream]

Bože, Bože, di baš ja od svih spretnih Cigana,

GOD, GOD, WHY ME OF ALL CAPABLE GIPSIES

naspram zvezda da se zagubim?

TO BE LOST AGAINST STARS?

Dok sam konje pojio, Vrag je drum prespojio...

WHILE I WATERED HORSES, THE DEVIL COMBINED MY WAY

On je teo da se u nju, Belu, zaljubim...

HE WANTED ME TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HER, WHITE GIRL

Samo ako išta znam,onda znam da budem sam...

ONLY IF I KNOW ANYTHING, THEN I KNOW TO BE ALONE

Tu sam isti na mog ujaka...

I'M SAME AS MY UNCLE WHEN IT COMES TO THAT

Lula i kabanica... Britva i brojanica...

PIPE AND CLOAK... RAZOR AND ROSARY

Prijatelja ko u kurjaka...

FRIENDS AS IN DOGS

Za mnom cika... Za mnom potraga... A preda mnom put za Dovraga...

MAKING NOISE AFTER ME.. SEARCHING FOR ME.. AND IN FRONT OF ME THE ROAD TO HELL

Bar da mi je fićok rakije... Tu bi moglo da se sakrije...

IF I ONLY HAD A BRANDY GLASS.. YOU COULD HIDE IN THERE..

Pa kad svirci nagare... Zadnji groš ću propiti...

AND WHEN MUSICIANS START TO PLAY..I WILL DRINK AWAY LAST PENNY

Ali ne dam magare... S belegom na levoj kopiti...

BUT I WONT GIVE MY COLT.. WITH MARK ON THE LEFT HOOF

Di je da je, neka je... Samo nek daleka je...

WHEREVER SHE IS, LET HER BE.. ONLY THAT SHE IS FAR AWAY

Da je duže trajalo, ne bi valjalo...

IF IT LASTED LONGER IT WOULDNT BE GOOD

Bože, Bože, di baš ja od svih grešnih Cigana,

GOD GOD, WHY ME OF ALL SINNING GIPSIES

da padnem na sitnim gresima?

TO FALL FOR SMALL SINS?

Ne daš mi je videti? I to od ruke ide ti...

YOU DONT LET ME SEE HER? EVEN THAT YOU DO GOOD

Mora da je besposleno na nebesima?

SHE MUST BE IN THE SKY WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING?

Stiću sutra do mraka do komšijskog oblaka...

I WILL GO TOMORROW TIL THE DARK TO THE CLOUD IN THE NEIGHBOUHOOD

Pod njim ću se opet roditi...

UNDER IT I WILL BE BORN AGAIN

Nisi ti na nebu sam... Bogova je povazdan...

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE SKY.. THERE ARE GODS ALL AROUND

S nekim ću se već nagoditi...

I WILL MAKE A DEAL WITH ONE EVENTUALLY

Za mnom cika... Za mnom potraga... A preda mnom put za Dovraga...

MAKING NOISE AFTER ME.. SEARCHING FOR ME.. AND IN FRONT OF ME THE ROAD TO HELL

Bar da mi je fićok rakije... Tu bi moglo da se sakrije...

IF I ONLY HAD A BRANDY GLASS.. YOU COULD HIDE IN THERE..

Pa kad svirci nagare... Zadnji groš ću propiti...

AND WHEN MUSICIANS START TO PLAY..I WILL DRINK AWAY LAST PENNY

Ali ne dam magare... S belegom na levoj kopiti...

BUT I WONT GIVE MY COLT.. WITH MARK ON THE LEFT HOOF

Kog sad ljubi, sanjiva... Kad se dan razdanjiva...

WHO SHE KISSES NOW, WHO SHE DREAMS... WHEN THE DAYS COMES

Kom sad zamke postavlja... Kog li noćas ostavlja?

FOR WHO SHE SETS TRAPS NOW .. WHO SHE LEAVES TONIGHT?
