Southern Railway
In the corner of a wagon restaurant you were sitting alone;
it's crowded and the smoke is dense.
A beautiful young lady on pins and needles,
here, amongst the wolves.
I said: "I'm sorry,
does anybody sit next to you?"
I said: "I'm sorry,
are you travelling far away like me?"
[Chorus]
Skopje, Belgrade, Vienna
and further west -
wherever destiny takes us.
This is a southern railway,1
neither love or a friend
or a permanent address.
Skopje, Belgrade, Vienna,
word by word - that's destiny.
We start from scratch the same,
we don't know where we're going;
and it's easier in pair.
Right where the wagons meet, the wind is blowing;
I see you're shivering from the cold.
I approach from another end - against all customs,
to ask you for your name.
I said: "I'm sorry,
does anybody sit next to you?"
I said: "I'm sorry,
are you travelling far away like me?"
[Chorus]
- 1. A slang term for a southern part of Serbia.
