Translation of the song Predlog artist Đorđe Balašević

Pile moje, kako stvari stoje,

My honey, how are the things?

vreme radi za nas

Time is on our side.

Baš se mislim, što bi zalud kisli,

I was just thinking, why would we get wet in rain

kad bi mogli ostati kod vas?

When we could stay at your place?

Kiša pada, gde bi išli sada?

It's raining, where would we go now?

Crni oblaci iznad grada.

Dark clouds above the city.

Šta je - tu je, sakrijmo se od oluje.

It's what it is - let's hide from the storm.

Srce lupa kao vojni bubanj

The heart beats like a military drum,

- to je opasan znak.

It's a dangerous sign

Imam krizu i uvek kad ste blizu

I'm in a crisis and whenever you're near

pada mi na oči mrkli mrak.

I black out.

Sad bi, možda, ploča dobro došla,

Now, maybe, a record would be a good idea

neka muzika davno prošla,

Some music of the times gone by

Čabi Čeker ili neki sličan šmeker.

Chubby Checker or some other similar cool guy.

Otkad vas znam,

Ever since I have known you

stare slike mi imaju novi ram,

Old pictures have a new frame

otkad vas znam,

Ever since I know you

neke obične stvari mi čudno zvuče.

Some ordinary things sound odd to me

Bio sam sam,

I was alone

kao niko na svetu, koliko znam.

Like nobody else in the world, as far as I know

Bio sam sam,

I was alone,

ali sve je to bilo odavno, juče još!

But that was long ago, as long ago as yesterday

Dame biraju...

Ladies' choice...

Ove noći mi smo mogli

Tonight we could have gone

poći u restoran il' bar.

To a restaurant or a bar

Ma gde bili mi bi nešto pili.

Wherever we would have been

To je problem, baš u tom je stvar.

We would have been drinking

Što da krijem, gadan sam kad pijem,

Why would I hide it? I'm bad when I drink,

ja se posvađam pa se bijem,

I get into an argument and then I fight,

zato bolje ostanimo tu nas dvoje.

So it's better if the two of us stay here.

Otkad vas znam,

Ever since I have known you

stare slike mi imaju novi ram,

Old pictures have a new frame

otkad vas znam,

Ever since I know you

neke obične stvari mi čudno zvuče.

Some ordinary things sound odd to me

Bio sam sam,

I was alone

kao niko na svetu, koliko znam.

Like nobody else in the world, as far as I know

Bio sam sam,

I was alone,

ali sve je to bilo odavno juče još!

But that was long ago, as long ago as yesterday

Drugar'ce biraju...

Comradettes' choice...
