Translation of the song Narodnjaci artist Đorđe Balašević
Narodnjaci
Folk Singers
Narodnjaci su preuzeli stvar
Folk singers took over the control
Znaju sistem i stvaraju dar-mar
They know the system and they create chaos
Rasturaju po pitanju tiraža
They are selling the most copies
Sve veća je blamaža biti neko od nas
It is become a shame to be one of us
Narodnjaci su ukrali moj bend
Folk singers stole my band
Narodnjaci su federalni trend
Folk singers are a federal trend
A mi smo gurnuti u ilegalu
And we are banished to the margins
Na kom tajnom kanalu naći bazu i spas?
On which secret channel to find a base and salvation?
O narodnjaci
Oh, folk singers,
Sve vam je u šaci al' zašto da se baci?
Everything is in your hand, but why throw it away?
Ma ostavite nešto i za nas
Leave something for us too
Narodnjaci, braćo i zemljaci
Turbo-folk singers, brothers and countrymen
Budite ortaci pa smanjite taj gas!
Be friends and take your foot off the gas!
Narodnjaci na ključnim mestima
Folk singers in key places
Narodnjaci u glavnim vestima
Folk singers in the headlines
Na džinovskim plakatima u boji
On giant coloured posters
Kud koji mili moji, da vam ne čujem glas
Go wherever you want, I don't want to hear your voices
Narodnjaci sa našim curama
Folk singers with our girls
Narodnjaci u svim strukturama
Folk singers in all structures of society
Od udruženog rada pa do sporta
From state companies to sport clubs
Narodnjak ante portas, njihov dolazi čas!
Folk singers ante portas, their time is coming
O narodnjaci
Oh, folk singers,
Sve vam je u šaci al' zašto da se baci?
Everything is in your hand, but why throw it away?
Ma ostavite nešto i za nas
Leave something for us too
Narodnjaci, braćo i zemljaci
Folk singers, brothers and countrymen
Budite ortaci pa smanjite taj gas!
Be friends and take your foot off the gas!
Nemaju njive te perspektive, armiran beton zove nas sad
Fields don't have such a perspective, reinforced concrete is calling us now
A snovi lebde između negde na relaciji selo - grad
And dreams float somewhere in between, on the direction village - city
Nastupa era amatera, iz svoje kože može se sad
The era of amateurs is coming, you can get out of your skin now
Rapidno stasa hibridna klasa na pola puta selo - grad
Rapidly, a hybrid class is growing up halfway between the village and the city
Narodnjaci
Folk singers,
Sve vam je u šaci al' zašto da se baci?
Everything is in your hand, but why throw it away?
Ma ostavite nešto i za nas
Leave something for us too
Narodnjaci, braćo i zemljaci
Folk singers, brothers and countrymen
Budite ortaci pa smanjite taj gas!
Be friends and take your foot off the gas!
