On je mlađi, rodio se kasno i nije mu jasno, zašto otac govori
He’s younger, he was born later and doesn’t understand, why his father’s saying
da bi trebalo sve srbe na vrbe,
that all Serbs should hang on the willows,
kako da objasni da voli baš nju baš srpkinju,
How to explain that he happens to love her, love a Serbian woman
baš Milanovu kćer, kako objasnit ocu u kojem je bio geler,
Happens to be Milan’s daughter, how to explain to his father who had a shrapnel in him
kojem su cijeli odred pobili srbi,
His whole squad was killed by Serbs
kako objasnit igru koju je uvjek išo prvi,
How to explain the game in which he was always first in line,
da je rođena u Zagrebu 85
That she was born in Zagreb in 85’
isto ko i on, i da sad nosi baš
Same as himself, and that now she happens to be carrying

They’re pacificsts and boycott everything made in the USA,
oni su metropola, kvarius oni su radio 101,
They’re the capital, Aquarius, they are Radio 101,
da ih pitaš ko je predsjednik oni će reći ne znam.
If you ask them who’s the president, they will say “I don’t know,”

Imam plan, reć će im tata i mama ovo je Ana,
“I have a plan,” he would say to them, “Mom and Dad, this is Ana,”
tako je svejedno svi zovu, prešutiće da joj je pravo ime Milana,
That’s what everyone calls her anyway, she’ll let it go and won’t say her real name is Milana
al ne ne, saznali bi kad tad,
But no…no…, they would find out sooner or later,

Dobro veče, bog mama fino miriše ti sarma,
“Good evening, hi Mom, the cabbage rolls smell nice,
ovo je moja djevojka;
This is my girlfriend;”
Drago mi je gospođo, ja sam Milana.
“Pleased to meet you Mrs., my name is Milana.”
Ja sam Marija, vi uđite, sad će večera vi se posložite.
“I am Maria, come in, dinner will be ready soon, help yourself.”
Tak si zgodna, ite za sto, ja ću doći odma.
“You’re in amazing shape, head towards the dinner table, I’ll be there soon.”
Za stolom stari sa žujom, puši kolumbo cigarete
Dad is sitting at the table with a beer, smoking a Kolumbo cigarette
na zidu Franjo spomenica iz rata bajonete.
On the wall hangs Franjo, and a souvenir from the war, a bayonet.
Koga to moje oči vide, faljen Isus sine,
“Who is that my eyes see, Jesus Almighty, my son,”
muški stisak ruku koje se znoje i pitanje koje je ime tvoje.
He firmly shakes his son’s sweaty hand and asks, “What is your name,”
Milana, ona reče blago, i stvarno mi je drago.
“Milana,” she answers softly, “And I’m really pleased to meet you.”
Prezime? Ma nije bitno... Ma bitno je mala, bitno!
“Last name? It doesn’t matter…Actually…, it does little girl, it does matter!
Dovodiš mi četnike u kuću, imaš muda!
You bring Chetniks into my house, you have balls!”
To nije sve stari, Milana je sa mnom i trudna,

pa onda idemo do njenog oca Milana i njene mame Jele.
And then we’ll leave and stop by her parents, Milan and Jele,
Franjo, to je njihov život, nek naša djeca rade što god žele.
“Franjo, that’s their life, let our children do what they want.”
Došli smo reći mama prvo vama da ćemo se vjenčat.
“Mama, we came here to tell you first that we’re getting married.”
Ako se misliš sa njom vjenčat, onda može mali komotno odjebat
“If you think you’re marrying her, then the little boy can comfortably get the fuck out
iz stana, a obojica znamo da nemaš kamo!
Of the apartment, but we both know, you have nowhere to go!”
On se samo diže sa stola pogleda Milanu i reče joj:
He just got up from the table, looked at Milana, and told her:
Milana hajmo, hajmo u pičku materinu odavde!
“Milana, come on, let’s get the fuck out of here!”
Ivane staniiii! Ivan stade, otac na koljena pade,
“Ivan, stop!” Ivan stopped, his father fell to the ground,

srce ga skljeca i kaže: E nej moja djeca,
His heart is rattling him and he states, “Oh, not my children,
isto mi je, da mi ovaj srbski geler puce, jos srbsko unuče da imam,
there’s no difference whether this Serbian shrapnel explodes, or, whether I have a Serbian grandchild,
isto bi me bolilo isto bi me ubilo!
both would hurt the same, they would both result in my death!”
Ma slušaj me tata,
“Listen to me father,
pun mi kurac i tebe i rata,
I’ve had enough of you and war,
i ustaša i četnika i partizana i domobrana,
Of Ustashas and Chetniks, Partisans and Home Guards,
ja volim nju više nego ti domovinu,
I love her more than you love this country,
Tuđmana i generale,
Tudjman and the generals,
ja volim nju i boli me kurac za ostale.
I love her and I don’t give a shit about anyone else,
Ona je moj pljesak, ona je moja oluja,
She’s my applause, she’s my Operation Storm,
moja crkva i papa
My Church and my Pope
ona je moja spomenica rata,
She is my souvenir from the war,
unprofor prevlaka,
An UNPROFOR coat,
ona je moja haška klupa,
She is my Hague bench,
ona i dijete su mi bitni više nego ti i sve to skupa!
She and my child are more important to me than you and all that combined!”

His father froze, he’s not moving, he can’t say a word,
Marija mu smirujuće šakama stišće ramena,

gori gori mater joj jebem,
“It burns, it burns, that bitch,”

on je naprosto sretan sa četnikusom,
He really is happy with that Chetnik bitch,
gleda svog Ivana, svoje dijete, kako je hrabar i odvažen ko on devedesete.
He’s watching his Ivan, his own child, how brave and bold he is, like himself in the 90s.
Al nije on sad zato spreman, on ga napušta spremno
But he’s currently not ready for all that, he’s ready to desert him
i nije mu svejedno, živjeće bez pomoći mame i oca,
He’s not indifferent, he’ll live without the help of his mother and father,
Ponosan ali u strahu napusta s Milanom onu ulicu Božidara Markovca Travnog,
Prideful, but afraid, he's leaving the street Božidara Markovca Travnog with Milana,
drži Milaninu šaku čvrsto,
He’s holding Milana’s hand firmly,

Ivan started yelling, no no no no
Culi su eksploziju kragujevke na ulasku u Utrine
After hearing the explosion from the Kragujevac bomb upon entering the Utrina neighborhood,

Just before HGSPOT, Ivan bent over and started sobbing,
Na zagrebacki asfalt sad ko da zna sta je rat...
On the Zagreb asphalt, now, it’s as if he knows what is war…
