Translation of the song On the Back-Seat of My Car artist Goran Bregović

Gnjave kina i kafane

Cinemas and pubs are annoying,

male droce, šatro dame

little babes, so-called madams,

i gnjave

they are annoying,

svega preko glave

I am fed up with it.

A ona išla bi negdje

But she would like to go somewhere

da se ludo igra, da se izigra

where she can dance crazily until closing time

i da me ljubi, da je vide drugi

and where she can kiss me so that others see her.

A ja joj kažem, ne budi luda

And I tell her Don't be crazy,

biće nam bolje sto puta

we will have it hundred times better

na zadnjem sjedištu moga auta

on the back seat of my car.

Dosta cvrkuta i pejzaža

Enough of twitters and landscapes,

već je postalo sve gnjavaža

everything already became annoying,

a i mravi (ne, ne)

and also the aunts (no, no)

gnjave me u travi (ne, ne, ne)

are annoying in the grass (no, no, no).

A ona išla bi negdje

But she would like to go somewhere

da je ptice bude, gdje su livade

where the birds wake her up, with meadows

i mirišu trave (ne, ne)

where the grass smells (no, no)

i neba se plave (ne, ne, ne)

and the skies are blue (no, no, no).

A ja joj kažem, ne budi luda

And I tell her Don't be crazy,

biće nam bolje sto puta

we will have it hundred times better

na zadnjem sjedištu moga auta (joj, joj)

on the back seat of my car.

Životi gnjave, smrti gnjave

Both lives and deaths are annoying,

mrzim priče i suplje glave

I hate stories and empty heads

i mudrače, face

and wise people, celebs.

A ona išla bi negdje

But she would like to go somewhere

da obuče finu novu haljinu

where she can wear her fine new dress,

kako stvarno

it is so real,

stalno

all the time.

A ja joj kažem, ne budi luda

And I tell her Don't be crazy,

biće nam bolje sto puta

we will have it hundred times better

na zadnjem sjedištu moga auta, joj

on the back seat of my car.

Joj, joj Ajde...

Oh, oh, come on...
