Alice Merton – No Roots

Lyrics

No Roots

I like digging holes and
Hiding things inside them
When I grow all the hope
I won’t forget to find them
Cause, I’ve got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night

I build a home and wait for
Someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes
Head for the next time around
Cause, I’ve got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I’ve seen this road
A thousand times

I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
I’ve got no roots

I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
I’ve got no roots

I like standing still for
That’s just the wishful plan
Ask me where I come from
I’ll say a different land
But I’ve got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night

I count the numbers
And play the guessing game
It’s just the place that changes
The rest is still the same
But I’ve got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I’ve seen this road
A thousand times

I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
I’ve got no roots

I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
I’ve got no roots

I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won’t forget to find them
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won’t forget to find them

I’ve got no roots!
No roots!

I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
I’ve got no roots

I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
I’ve got no roots
No!

Prevod na srpski

Nemam korene

Volim da kopam rupe
i u njima skrivam stvari
Kad uzgojim nadu
neću zaboraviti da ih potražim
Jer, ja imam uspomene i
putujem kao cigani noću

Sagradim kuću i čekam
da je neko sruši
Onda je u kutije spakujem
i u sledeću rundu krenem
Jer, ja imam uspomene i
putujem kao cigani noću

I hiljadu sam puta videla ovaj put
Hiljadu puta

Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korenje
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ja nemam korene

Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ja nemam korene

Ja volim da trpim
To je samo maštarija
Ako me pitaš odakle sam
Reći ću iz druge zemlje
Ali ja imam uspomene i
putujem kao cigani noću

Ja sabiram cifre
I igram se igre pogađanja
Samo mesto se menja
Ostalo je i dalje isto
Ali ja imam uspomene i
putujem kao cigani noću

I hiljadu sam puta videla ovaj put
Hiljadu puta

Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ja nemam korene

Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ja nemam korene

Volim da kopam rupe, da u njima skrivam stvari
Kad ostarim, neću zaboraviti da ih potražim
Volim da kopam rupe, da u njima skrivam stvari
Kad ostarim, neću zaboraviti da ih potražim

Ja nemam korene!
Nemam korene!

Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ja nemam korene

Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ali moj dom nikad na zemlji nije bio
Ja nemam korene
Ja nemam korene
