Paolo Nutini – These Streets

Cross the border,
Into the big bad world
Where it takes you ’bout an hour
Just to cross the road
Just to stumble across another poor old soul from
The dreary old lanes to the high-street madness
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
And it’s harder than you think
To delay this sadness
That creeps up my spine
And haunts me through the night
And life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I’m wandering around
With a half pack of cigarettes
Searching for the change that I’ve lost somehow

These streets have too many names for me
I’m used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I’ll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Where’d the days go? When all we did was play
And the stress that we were under wasn’t stress at all
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from
Walking by a high-rise to a landmark square
You see millions of people with millions of cares
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
I look at the people as they sit there alone

Life is good, and the sun is shining
Everybody floods to their ideal place
And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them
Trying to pretend that they’ve got some space

These streets have too many names for me
I’m used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I’ll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

These streets have too many names for me
I’m used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I’ll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I’m wandering around
With a half pack of cigarettes
Searching for the change that I’ve lost somehow

These streets have too many names for me
I’m used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I’ll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

These streets have too many names for me
I’m used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in our Orchy
I’ll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Prevod na srpski

Ove ulice

Pređeš granicu,
U veliki crni svet
Odakle ti treba oko pola sata
Samo da pređeš put
Samo da bi naleteo na još jednu jadnu staru dušu sa
Turobnih starih staza do ludnice glavne ulice
Sa svojim se mozgom borim da bi svojim očima poverovao
A teže je nego što misliš
Odložiti ovu tugu
Što uz kičmu mi se penje
I progoni me kroz noć
A život je lep i devojke su prelepe
Odjednom, sada vazduh mnogo zelenije miriše
a ja lutam okolo
Sa pola kutije cigareta
Tražeći tu promenu koju sam nekako izgubio

Ulice ove za mene previše imena imaju
Navikao sam na Glenfield put i da provodim vreme dole u Orchy
Navići ću se na ovo, blagovremeno
Znam, znam

Gde su nestali oni dani? Kad smo se po ceo dan samo igrali
A stres pod kojim smo bili uopšte nije bio stres
Samo trk i skok u bezopasan pad zbog
Šetnje kraj zgrade do trga
Vidiš milione ljudi sa milionima briga
A ja jedva dolazim do voza da do kuće stignem
Posmatram ljude dok tamo sami sede

Život je lep, i sunce sija
Svi idu ka svom idealnom mestu
I sva deca se osmehuju dok brodovi se kraj njih vuku
Pokušavajući da se pretvaraju da malo prostora imaju

Ulice ove za mene previše imena imaju
Navikao sam na Glenfield put i da provodim vreme dole u Orchy
Navići ću se na ovo, blagovremeno
Znam, znam

Ulice ove za mene previše imena imaju
Navikao sam na Glenfield put i da provodim vreme dole u Orchy
Navići ću se na ovo, blagovremeno
Znam, znam

Život je lep i devojke su prelepe
Odjednom, sada vazduh mnogo zelenije miriše
a ja lutam okolo
Sa pola kutije cigareta
Tražeći tu promenu koju sam nekako izgubio

Ulice ove za mene previše imena imaju
Navikao sam na Glenfield put i da provodim vreme dole u Orchy
Navići ću se na ovo, blagovremeno
Znam, znam

Ulice ove za mene previše imena imaju
Navikao sam na Glenfield put i da provodim vreme dole u Orchy
Navići ću se na ovo, blagovremeno
Znam, znam
