Lađarska Serenata - Đorđe Balašević

Da od silnih briga Bog posustane

Pa me zamoli da ga odmenim

Ne bi bilo lepo da mu, dok ne ustane

Svet na bolje promenim

Ipak, kad već držim žezlo čudesno

Zavar’o bih trag gromom plamenim

A dotle bih reku skren’o malko udesno

Starim drumom kamenim

Pa da kroz moj salaš lađe prolaze

I od đerma još stanu trubiti

Da ti bar s' basamka gledam obraze

Kad ih ne smem ljubiti

Pa da me u službu sam car pri’vati

Teget mundir knap, dugmad — dukati

Da se, kad medaljon kreneš pokazivati

Nemaš čime brukati

Pa da i tvoj baba podavije rep

I da drugi list počne listati:

'Jel'te, gospon-matroz, možel' ovaj šlep

Pod vaš oraj pristati?'

Malen je sobičak srce bekrije

Jednu jedinu može primiti

Al' bez brige, sve da santa nebo prekrije

Imaš di prezimiti

Sad utuli fenjer, sakrij šibicu

Mesečev ću prah tek da istrunim

Da u mraku lovim zlatnu ribicu

Da joj želju ispunim

May God give up from great worries

So he asked me to cancel it

It wouldn't be nice for him until he got up

I'm changing the world for the better

Still, when I already hold the scepter miraculously

I would make a trail of lightning

Until then, I would turn the river a little to the right

The old stone road

So that boats pass through my farm

And the trumpets still start to sound

If only I could look at your cheeks

When I can't love them

So that the emperor himself can accept me into the service

Teget mundir knap, dugmad - dukati

Yes, when you start showing off the medallion

You have nothing to disgrace

So that your grandmother chokes her tail too

And for the second sheet to start leafing:

"Yes, Mr. Sailor, this barge could."

To land under your plow? '

The little room is the heart of the bekrija

He can only receive one

But don't worry, let Santa cover the sky

You have a place to spend the winter

Now put down the lantern, hide the match

I will just rot the dust of the moon

To catch a goldfish in the dark

To fulfill her wish
