Translation of the song Imberlan (Madre badessa) artist Tonči Huljić & Madre Badessa

Imberlan, imberlan,

Distorted, distorted,

od malena žbankan,

thrown from childhood,

ja po svitu sve špartan...

I walk all way through the world...

Imberlan, imberlan,

Distorted, distorted,

žbatoća me pape,

daddy fought me,

mama šjolon od šlape...

mummy punched me with a slipper outsole...

Pa san maka, pa san maka

So I went, so I went

na možjane ja...

mad...

Madre badeša

Abbess

šotala, šotala me...

hid, hid me...

Tukla me mater,

Mother fought me,

tuka me ćaća...

dad fought me...

Madre badeša

Abbess

šotala, šotala me

hid, hid me

šoto traverše...

under her habit...

Pa san maka, pa san maka

So I went, so I went

na možjane ja...

mad...

Žbatoćan, žbatoćan

Beaten, beaten

da je to mirakul,

so much it was a miracle,

sve je bilo špetakul...

everything was spectacle...

Plaka san, plaka san

I cried, I cried

da me tuku moji

that my parents fight me

i špijava ih švori...

and told them to the nun...

Pa san maka, pa san maka

So I went, so I went

na možjane ja...

mad...
