Translation of the song Sretna nova artist Dino Merlin
Sretna nova
Happy New Year
nema vise vila, vilenjaka
There's no more fairies, sprites
nema babaroga, carobnjaka
No bogeymen, wizards
nema limuzina, ulja ni benzina
No limos, oil nor petrol
padaju vise kao kise
They fall like rain
nema limuzina, ulja ni benzina
No limos, oil nor petrol
padaju vise kao kise
They fall like rain
kako da ti kazem moja draga
How should I tell you my dear
da mi nisi vise tako draga
That you're no longer that dear to me
sve manja je plata u mog zanata
My craft is less and less paid
crni mi dani dolaze
Dark days are coming to me
sve manja je plata u mog zanata
My craft is less and less paid
crni mi dani dolaze
Dark days are coming to me
klosari, potstanari, postari i mornari
Bums, subtenants, mailmen and sailors
sluzbenici i vojnici i opcine pretsjednici
Clerks and soldiers and municipality vice presidents
veju pahulje, mraz po staklu sara
It's snowing, frost is drawing across the windows
stize nova godina, bolja nego stara
New Year is coming, better than the last one
veju pahulje, mraz po staklu sara
It's snowing, frost is drawing across the windows
stize nova godina, dvaput bolja, triput bolja
New Year is coming, better than the last one twice, three times
stoput bolja nego stara
A hundred times better than the old one
kako da ti kazem moja draga
How should I tell you my dear
da mi nisi vise tako draga
That you're no longer that dear to me
sve manja je plata u mog zanata
My craft is less and less paid
crni mi dani dolaze
Dark days are coming to me
sve manja je plata u mog zanata
My craft is less and less paid
teski mi dani dolaze
Dark days are coming to me
gradjani i seljaci, pripravnice i junaci
Citizens and farmers, interns and heroes
lopovi i bezveznjaci, rokeri i narodnjaci
Thieves and dorks, rockers and those who listen to folk
veju pahulje, mraz po staklu sara
It's snowing, frost is drawing across the windows
stize nova godina, bolja nego stara
New Year is coming, better than the last one
veju pahulje, mraz po staklu sara
It's snowing, frost is drawing across the windows
stize nova godina bolja nego stara...
New Year is coming, better than the last one
