You Resemble My Father

Serbian → English translation for the song "Licis na moga oca" by Ceca lyrics

Serbian

Licis na moga oca

Licis na moga oca
Isto je mojo majci uzasne stvari radio
Rukama golim
Njeno nevino mlado srce
Iz grudi na zivo vadio

Eh, da je bilo pravde andjela boga
Pa da je malo jos pozivela
Pa da mi kaze sto sam sudbinu njenu dozivela

Licis na moga oca
Nocima padnes pijan
Nesnosan, nervozan i grub
Zbog neke druge zene
Kafane, drustvo, novca
Mene uzimas na zub

Eh, da je bilo pravde andjela boga
Pa da je malo jos pozivela
Pa da mi kaze sto sam sudbinu njenu dozivela

Zar i bog sto nebom hoda
Vladar carstva nebeska
Zar i on je muskog roda
Okrutnog, okrutnog

Licis na moga oca
Na sceni mog detinjstva
Najlepseg crnog labuda
Zbog kog se svetla gase
Zavesa na nade pada
Iz proslosti nemam nikuda

Eh, da je bilo pravde andjela boga
Pa da je malo jos pozivela
Da shvatim njene reci
Sto nisam musko rodila

Zar i bog sto nebom hoda
Vladar carstva nebeskog
Zar i on je muskog roda
okrutnog, okrutnog

English

You Resemble My Father

You resemble my father
He did terrible things to my mother
With his bare hands
Would pull her innocent, young heart
out of her chest
(the meaning here is that her heart was pulled while she felt everything)

Eh, if there were justice, an angel, a God
So that she would have lived a bit longer
So that she could explain why I've inherited her fate

You resemble my father
Nightly falling drunk
Insufferable, upset and brutal
Because of some other woman
The pub, friends, money
You torture me

Eh, if there were justice, an angel, a God
So that she would have lived a bit longer
So that she could explain why I've inherited her fate

Is even God that walks the sky
King of the heavens
Is even He of the male gender
Ruthless, ruthless

You resemble my father
On the stage of my childhood
The most beautiful black swan
Because of who the lights go off
The curtain of hope falls
I can't run from the past

Eh, if there were justice, an angel, a God
So that she would have lived a bit longer
So I would understand her words:
Why did I not give birth to a boy

Is even God that walks the sky
King of the heavens
Is even He of the male gender
Ruthless, ruthless
