The Clash – London Calling

London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don’t look at us
All that phoney beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain’t got no swing
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

The Ice Age is coming, the Sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an’ go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don’t wanna shout
But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain’t got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won’t you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a like

  The Clash - London Calling

Prevod pesme

London zove

London daleke gradove zove
Rat je objavljen – šire se borbe
London zove potlačene
Izađite iz skrovišta, momci I devojke
London zove, ne čekajte nas
Za tu fol-bitlmaniju ne postoji spas
London zove, nismo raskalašni
Osim kad za prsten njenog žezla treba dati

Ledeno doba na vratima, Sunce sve je bliže
Mašine staju, pšenica se ne diže
Nuklearni kvar, ali nemam strah
London se davi –  kraj reke mi stan

London zove folirante
Zaboravi ih, produži sam, brate
London zove zombije
Ne opirite se , nego udahnite
London zove – neću vikati
Kada smo mi pričali – glavom ste odmahivali
London zove, ne letimo često, ne
Osim od onog što ima oči žućkaste

Pazi sad ovo
London je zvao, odazvah se I ja
A šta su mi rekli? Pa, ponešto je istina!
London zove najviše brojeve
Nakon svega, može li bar osmeh za mene?

Nikad kao tad nisam osećao
Gde sam pripadao
