Translation of the song Che Guevara i manistra u suvo artist Tonči Huljić & Madre Badessa

Croatian (Chakavian dialect)

Che Guevara i manistra u suvo

English translation

Che Guevara and Pasta Alone

Dobro je meni mater rekla

Mother told me well -

Samo nemoj manjamuktaš bit,

Just don't be a hustler

Ćaća i ja smo, pošten svit

Dad and me, we are honest people

Lako je reć al’ rodila me,

it's easy to say when she gave birth to me

Baš u niko vrime nesritnje

In such a somehow unhappy time

Da priko škine projde sve

That one has to feel everything on his back

Socijalizam, pa’ je,

Socialism, yeah right

Kapitalizam doša’ je, ajme!

Capitalism came, oh my!

A ja vatan još, vatan zjake

And I'm still watching, watching grass grow

I pijem pivo isprid trafike

And I drink beer in front of the store

Kažen

Sayin'

U banani mama živin

I live, mama, in a helter skelter time

Kažu mi da nije,

They say it's not

Al’ je je, ja vidin

But it is, it is, I see it

Kasno mi je bit ka’ Che Guevara,

It's too late for me to be like Che Guevara

Niman muda niman dara

I have no balls, I have no talent

Za revolucionara

To be a revolutionary

Zato stavin prst u uvo

So I put my finger in the ear

I iziden manistru u suvo,

And eat pasta alone

Manistru u suvo

Pasta alone

Manistru u suvo

Pasta alone

A s Peristila

And Levi Strauss emigrates

Levi Strauss emigrira,

From the Peristyle 1

Novi furešti slikaju se

New strangers take pictures

I ne moš proć

And you can't go through

Samo još Žila čisti ribu na Peškariji

Only Žila is still on the fish market cleaning fish

I samo mi friškina isto vonja još

Only the fresh fish still smells the same

Socijalizam, pa’ je,

Socialism, yeah right

Kapitalizam doša’ je ajme!

Capitalism came, oh my!

A ja vatan još, vatan zjake

And I'm still watching, watching grass grow

I pijem pivo isprid trafike

And I drink beer in front of the store

U banani mama živin

I live, mama, in helter skelter time

Kažu mi da nije,

They say it's not

Al’ je je, ja vidin

But it is, it is, I see it

Kasno mi je bit ka’ Che Guevara,

It's too late for me to be like Che Guevara

Niman muda niman dara

I have no balls, I have no talent

Za revolucionara

To be a revolutionary

Zato stavin prst u uvo

So I put my finger in the ear

I iziden manistru u suvo,

And eat pasta alone

Manistru u suvo

Pasta alone

Manistru u suvo

Pasta alone
