Đorđe Balašević – Ne lomite mi bagrenje

Verujem, cenjeni sude, da dobro poznaješ ljude,
vi barem imate posla jer ćud je ćud a sud je sud.
Verujem, cenjena glavo, da si i učio pravo,
da svakom sudiš pošteno jer čast je čast a vlast je vlast.
I sve po zakonu, za to sam prvi,
ne bi bilo ove krvi da je bilo sve po zakonu!

Vlast je vlast,
i ja to poštujem, tu su paragrafi pa zagrabi
nek isto je i đavolu i đakonu,
pa nek se zna!

Nek’ su mi gazili njivom, mojom se sladili šljivom,
uvek je lopova bilo jer ćuk je ćuk i vuk je vuk.
Nikada zlotvora dosta, suša mi uništi bostan
i led se prospe pred žetvu, al’ led je led a red je red!

I prekardašilo, im’o sam bagremovu šumu
tamo dole prema drumu pa sam čekao.

Red je red!
Polako komšije! Ne može samo da se uđe,
da se ruši tuđe, lepo sam im rekao.

Ne lomite mi bagrenje,
bez njih će me vetrovi oduvati.
Pustite ih, moraju mi čuvati
jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati:
ne lomite mi bagrenje, pod njima sam je ljubio,
bosonogu i odbeglu od sna.

Ljudi smo, cenjeni sude, pa neka bude šta bude,
žao mi marama crnih, al’ plač je plač a mač je mač.
Ne pitaj šta bi sad bilo kad bi se ponovo zbilo,
ne pitaj da li se kajem, jer jed je jed a red je red!

I sve po zakonu, tu su paragrafi pa zagrabi
pošteno i za veru i za neveru.

Red je red!
Sve ja to poštujem jer više bilo bi ubica
nego ptica koje odleću ka severu.

Ne lomite mi bagrenje,
bez njih će me vetrovi oduvati.
Pustite ih, moraju mi čuvati
jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati:

ne lomite mi bagrenje, pod njima sam je ljubio.

O, zar moram da vam ponovim?

Okanite se njih jer sve ću da vas polomim!

English Translation

Don’t Break my Locusts

I believe, your honor, that you know human nature,
at least you have work to do, because temper is temper and court is court.
I believe, honorable sage, that you’ve even studied the law,
that you judge everyone fairly because honor is honor and authority is authority.
Following the letter of the law, I’m the first to support that,
this blood wouldn’t have been shed if the letter of the law was followed!

Authority is authority,
and I respect that, the paragraphs are there so scoop up
let the devil and a deacon be equal,
so, let it be known!

It doesn’t matter if they stepped over my field, enjoyed my plums,
there were always thieves, because a fox is a fox and a wolf is a wolf.
Never enough villains, drought ruined my watermelons
hailstones also tend to fall just before harvest, but ice is ice and order is order!

And I’ve had enough of it, I used to have a black locust wood
down there towards the road, so I waited.

Order is order!
Take it easy neighbors! You can’t just enter,
and break what isn’t yours, I told them nicely.

Do not break my locusts,
without them, the wind will blow me away.
Let them be, they have to keep, for me,
a secret, golden like ducats:
do not break my locusts, I used to kiss her under them
her – barefoot and escaping a dream.

We’re human, your honor, so, let it be,
I feel sorry for the women in black, but crying is crying and a sword is a sword.
Don’t ask what would happen now should it reoccur,
don’t ask whether I regret, because anger is anger and order is order!

And the law is being followed, the paragraphs are there, so scoop up
fairly, both for believers and disbelievers.

Order is order!
I respect all that because there would otherwise be more murderers
than birds flying north.

Do not break my locusts,
without them, the winds will blow me away.
Let them be, they have to keep, for me
a secret golden like ducats:

do not break my locusts, underneath them I used to kiss her.

Oh, do I have to tell you again?

Leave them alone or I will beat the hell out of you!

  1. Čoveče, bagrem se ne kaže “locust”.
    Trebalo bi da stoji “acacia tree”.

    Po tebi Đorđe traži da mu ne lome skakavce.

    Ispravi to. Red je red, a bagrem bagrem.
