Translation of the song On je poput djeteta artist Crvena jabuka
On je poput djeteta
He is like a child
S peračima ulica je čekao zoru
With the street cleaners he awaited the dawn
Dole kod bašte kafane Visoko
Down there in front of the Café Visoko
Dva pospana oka na njenom prozoru
Two sleepy eyes on her window
I mokri brat na uglu je pjevao
And the wet brother sang in the corner
Par koraka dalje od njegovog rejona
Few steps away from his area
Sakupljala se ulična bagra
The street scum was getting togheter
A kad bi lagano prošao pijacom
When he would slowly walk trough the market place
Stražar bi dreknuo evo, ide magla, evo ide magla
The guard woul yell: Here comes the mist! Here comes the mist!

On je, on je poput djeteta
He is, he is like a child
Željan toplog kreveta
He wants a warm bed
Njega čeka draga žena
His dear wife is waiting for him
Noću usamljena, hladna
In the night alone, cold
Noć je hladna, noć je hladna, noć je ledena
The nights is cold, the night is cold, the night is ice cold
Znali su njega svi sitni banditi
He was known by all small bandits
Što po ulici bunare i pale
That hang around in the streets
Znao je njega i poslednji švercer
He was know by even the last smuggler
Dd Sebilja pa sve do Katedrale
From the Sebilj* all the way to the Cathedral**
I strahovali lokalni tablići
And the locals were scared
Što ne razlikuju kafu od droge
Those that don't know the difference between coffee and drugs
U ponoć kad zaviri u kockarske rupe
At midnight when he visits the gambling places
Evo ga ide, 'fataj se noge, 'fataj se noge
Here he comes! Grab your leg! Grab your leg!***

Pripazi taksiste i noćne šetačice
He watches the cab drivers and the night strollers
Po parkovima cijela četa ludaka
In the parks a whole bunch of crazy people
I kako da razlikuje mantil prolaznika
And how to differenciate the coat of a passer by
Od mantila nekog manijaka
From the coat of a maniac
A raport je redovan nad usnulim gradom
And police controll is regular in the sleepy town
I zora samo što nije svanula
And it is almost dawn
Zar ovo što vidiš nazivaš nadom
Do you call this what you see hope
Kad ih je bilo 100 na jednoga 100 na jednoga
When they were 100 vs 1, 100 vs 1
