Translation of the song Bella Figura, Bella Pitura artist Gibonni

Tamo, dole, u bratove postole

There, beneath, into my brother's shoes,

na ono misto di ti prsti dođu

To the place where fingers go,

mater gužva novine i stavlja

Mother crinkles newspaper and puts it in

da ti ne bi digod ispale sa nogu.

So I wouldn't lose them off my feet somewhere.

I vrtiš glavon kad ti mater reče:

And you turn your head when mother tells you:

Bit će bolje, nećemo se žalit...

It'll get better, we won't complain...

Ako misliš da si rođen za nešto puno veće

If you think you're born for something greater

posrane postole ne mogu te smanjit!

Shitty shoes cannot make you smaller!

Bella Figura, Bella Pitura

Bella figura, bella pitura

Kako materi ćeš kazat?

How will you tell your mother?

Od toga nema kruva

There's no use from it

svi su išli naprid

Everyone went forward

samo mi smo išli nazad!

Only we went backwards!

Tamo di ti mater drži metle

There where your mother keeps the broomsticks

ima buža koja tajnu čuva

There is a hole hiding a secret,

novce što ih ona sakriva od sebe

Money she hides from herself

za crne dane, šibice i duvan.

For bad times, and matches and tobacco

Duvan triba da joj smiri nerve

She needs tobacco to calm the nerves

a šibice da more ga pripalit.

And matches to light it.

Novci služe da uzmeš ih za sebe

Money is for you to take it

da se cili život imaš čega sramit.

So you'd have something to be ashamed of for your whole life.

Bella Figura, Bella Pitura

Bella figura, bella pitura

Kako materi ćeš kazat?

How will you tell your mother?

Od mene nema kruva

There's no use from me

svi su išli naprid

Everyone went forward

samo ja san iša nazad!

Only I went backwards!

Bella Figura, Bella Pitura

Bella figura, bella pitura

Kako materi ćeš kazat?

How will you tell your mother?

Od mene nema kruva

There's no use from me

(svi su išli naprid)

(everyone went forward)

svi su išli naprid

Everyone went forward

samo ja san iša nazad

Only I went backwards

samo ja san iša nazad!

Only I went backwards!

Prvi puta se ćutiš kao neko vridan

For the first time you feel like a somebody

pod svitlima kazina...

Under casino lights...

Sve su tvoje muke sad dovoljno daleko

All your troubles are far enough now

još smo da te pogladi sudbina.

And you just need a stroke of luck.

A prid zoru, jedna kužina u mraku

And before dawn, one dark kitchen,

jedna sjena čeka kada ćeš otvorit.

One shadow waiting when you will open the door.

I kaže: Dite moje, ako ubiješ mi nadu

And she says: My child, if you kill my hope

onda neman više di ću se zaklonit

I'll have no place to hide away

neman di ću se zaklonit!

I have no place to hide away!

Bella Figura, Bella Pitura

Bella figura, bella pitura

Mater tila bi ti kazat:

Mother would say:

Od tega nema kruva

There's no use from that

nek drugi idu naprid

Let other people go forward

samo ti mi dođi nazad!

You just come back to me!

Bella Figura, Bella Pitura

Bella figura, bella pitura

Mater tila bi ti kazat:

Mother would say:

Od tega nema kruva

There's no use from that

nek drugi idu naprid

Let other people go forward

samo ti mi dođi nazad

You just come back to me

samo ti mi dođi nazad!

You just come back to me!

Samo ti mi dođi nazad...

You just come back to me...

Neman di ću se zaklonit...

I have no place to hide away...
