Translation of the song Pred zadnji sneg artist Đorđe Balašević

Kad zadnju brazdu zaorem

When I plow the last furrow

po tragu senke rodine

By the track of yield's shadow

procvaće zimske ružice

Winter roses will blossom

po prvi put te godine

For the first time that year

Naiće studen atarom

The cold will come to village

kao regiment oklopni

Like armored regiment

i biću samo mirna vlat

And I'll be as a calm panicle

kad okopni

When it withers

Ja nemam nigdi nikoga

I have no one no where

al' moja priča prosta je

But my story is easy

štogod ih manje zavoleš

When you love less of them

manje ti njih nedostaje

Less of them you miss

I nisam kadar švindlati

And I'm not capable of cheating

za sobom skele paliti

Burning scaffolding behind me

da silom steknem nekog

To gain someone by force

kom ću faliti

Someone who'll miss me

Znam, dušo, obećo sam da te neću pominjati

I know, darling, I promised I won't mention you

bogarati i sudbinu proklinjati

Swear and curse the destiny

u varoš se preseliti

Move into a little town

orcati i veseliti

Wander around and have fun

obećo sam srca teška

I promised, heavily

obećo sam, al' jebeš ga

I promised, but fuck it

Kad zadnji čokot zagrnem

When I cover the last vine

pod skute Svetog Damjana

Under the St. Damjan

u bokal bistre plemenke zapašće trunka tamjana

Into carafe of clear water a bit of incense will fall

Strahovi mladi umiru

The fears of the young ones are dying

priču sam kraju priveo

I almost finished the story

još onda kada sam

When I

i njih nadživeo

Outlived them

Znam, mila, obećo sam da ću maker za beštiju

I know, love, I promised I will, at least for an animal

i da ću naći lepšu, bolju i veštiju

And that I will find someone prettier, better and more skillful

nemeškinju, gospodičnu

a Nemeškinja*, a lady

ni po čemu tebi sličnu

Someone not even a bit like you

obećo sam srca teška

I promised, heavily

obećo sam, al' jebeš ga

I promised, but fuck it

I utom pašće i zadnji sneg

And then the last snow will fall

preko svih prvih snegova

Across all of the first snows

a perce anđela je teg

And a feather of an angel is a weight

spram svih zemaljskih tegova

Opposite all of Earth's weights

Spreman je Onaj varati

He** is ready to cheat

olovni kantar skovati

To forge a leaden balance

al' danas više ne bih trebo psovati

But I shouldn't swear today no more
