Maliganska - Đorđe Balašević

Život baš i nije bog zna šta

Al' za svaki slučaj uvek uzmem šta mi da:

Frtalj leba, metar neba i pun šešir sna

Al' Đavo gleda da i njemu bude fino

Pa katkad sav taj džumbus umoči u vino

Dajte mi vino, vino nek se toči

Dok traju dani, a naročito noći

Jer tu je tuga, ta moja verna druga

A kad je tuga, onda treba da se cuga

Dajte mi vino, ja nemam drugih želja

Ni bližeg roda, ni boljih prijatelja

Jer tu je tuga, ta moja crna kuga

A kad je tuga, onda mora da se cuga

Sreću sam ko rukav izvrto

S' vrha brda svaka staza vodi nizbrdo

Malo ko je, čedo moje, tome izvrdo

Ali kad cugnem, ja lakše misli sredim

Znam, tu sam di sam, al' bar se manje jedim

S' jeseni, kad bagrem opadne

Potera me maler, štagod počnem propadne

Još mi se, u inat, ta što ne sme dopadne

E, stara rana se vida starim lekom

Dabome vinom, ta ne bi valjda mlekom?

Life is not really God knows what

But just in case, I always take what to give me:

A loaf of bread, a meter of sky and a full hat of sleep

But the Devil is looking to be nice to him too

Well, sometimes you dip all that jumbo in wine

Give me wine, let the wine be poured

During the days, and especially the nights

Because there is sorrow, my faithful friend

And when there is sadness, then there should be booze

Give me wine, I have no other wishes

No closer relatives, no better friends

Because there is sadness, that black plague of mine

And when there is sadness, then there must be booze

Luckily, I'm upside down

From the top of the hill, each trail leads downhill

Few, my child, are too good for that

But when I drink, it's easier for me to sort out my thoughts

I know, I'm where I am, but at least I eat less

In the fall, when the acacia falls

The painter chases me, whatever I start fails

I still, in spite of myself, that we don't like it

Well, the old wound was seen with the old medicine

Of course with wine, wouldn't you like milk?
