Translation of the song Paklene godine artist Mile Kitić

Zbog njega nisi se udala

Because of him you didn't get married,

A bolje prilike si imala

even though you had better suitors than him.

Svi su govorili da si dno

Everybody said that you were the lowest of the low,

A ti si mislila to je to

and you just accepted it.

Sjeti se uvreda i modrica

Remember the insults and bruises

koje si puderom pokrivala

that you covered with foundation.

Zato mu suze naplati,

So make him pay for all the tears,

sve nek ti s kamatom vrati

let him pay you everything plus interest.

Po dzepu mala lupi ga

Hit him in his pocket (wallet)

Jedino to boli ga.

because only that can truly hurt him.

Zato mu suze naplati,

So make him pay for all the tears,

sve nek ti s kamatom vrati

let him pay you everything plus interest.

Uzmi mu kucu, kola, sve

Take his house, car, everything,

za sve te paklene godine.

for all of those hellish years.

Samo seti se noci te

Just remember that night

Kad u tebi je puklo sve

when something inside of you snapped

Pa si htela da se otrujes

and you wanted to poison yourself,

Pokusala da se ubijes

tried to kill yourself.

Na sebe uzela si jad,pad i grehove

You took grief, your downfall and his sins upon yourself,

Polako navukla na lekove

you slowly got addicted to prescription medication.

Tvoji su te se odrekli

Your family disowned you

i s tobom veze sve presekli

and broke off all contact with you.

REF.

Zivot u ruke uzmi

Take your life into you own hands,

I smesta nesto preduzmi

and immediately take something

Jer zivot je surov znaj

because life is cruel, you know.

Il si katran il zlata sjaj

You're either like tar or shine like gold.

Zbog njega djecu nisi imala

Because of him you didn't have children,

Da svoje oci vidis da se nasmejes

to see your eyes in another and smile.

On nije hteo to sada vise

He didn't want that

Sada mozda vise i ne mozes

now you might not be able anymore.

REF.

Bila si mlada zaljubljena snena

You were young, in love, dreamy.

Na kraju krajeva samo si zena

In the end you're only a woman

I za sve si mu ti bila kriva

and he blamed you for everything.

A jedva kraj njega da si ostala ziva

You barely stayed alive beside him,

On to nikad nije mogao da svati

He could never understand that

Zato mu sada sve naplati

so now make him pay for all of it.
