Nema ga

Shot:
Dizali su revoluciju s osmjehom na licu,
pustili su kosu, otkrili su LSD i maricu,
pjevali o miru, s Titom nesvrstano stajali, po
nacionalnoj osnovi nisu se razdvajali, lako
bilo je bit filozof u studentskoj kantini
umjetnik bez kinte i muzičar u sredini di su
stvari kolko-tolko išle, država di štima, lako
bilo je bit student u sedamdesetima – moji
starci – lako su pronašli prvi posao, s
diplomom u ruci na burzu niko nije išao
živilo se dobro u tom partijskom sistemu, Goli
Otok se ne spominjao, mijenjalo se temu,
studentarija čupava po diplomi se zaposlila
sigurnu plaču kući redovno donosila, a
udruženi rad znao davat je stanove, onda
lako je bilo imat velike planove
savit svoje gnijezdo, bit opušten, bez tenzija
bacit sidro u firmi, u OOURu do penzija se
ostajalo – cijeli život za istim stolom
tad se nije činilo sve samo folom, jeftinim
trikom, nikom nije falilo za hranu
bili su sretni u svom malom stanu
siguran posao, staž i penzija, začas lako
bilo se odlučit da dobiju nas
 
Refren:
Više ništa nije isto, nema sigurnoga puta
Nema izravnoga leta do zvijezda u bolje sutra
Crno bijeli svijet iz snova sad je svijet u boji
Al predaleko stoji, kao da i ne postoji…
Više nema ga, nema ga, nema ga, nema ga…
 
Shot:
A danas - danas su
druga vremena, dosta se toga promijenilo, mi smo
odrasli već a još nam uvijek nije krenulo
poslova nema, svi se snalaze kak znaju, ili
sjede na burzi il za vezu mito daju,
u podstanarskom odnosu sa plaćom na ruke, bez
ikakve sigurnosti i glavom punom zbrke, danas
premija je imat – pos'o na neodređeno
taj koji će dat' staž i socijalno sređeno, tog
nema više, danas druga su vremena, a
ne bi se reklo da smo generacija lijena, mi smo
spremni na rad, polomit se ako treba,
naučili od staraca da novci ne padaju s neba
 
Remi:
Prošlost nam se smiješi umornim očima
A u zraku miriše nostalgija
Nema Blata nema Zvečke, vjetar je zameo sve
Naši starci barem žive uz uspomene
Pioniri su prošlost, studenti su odrasli
a crveni jugo više nikog ne vozi.
Dinari su nestali, radnici u penziji
ostaje nam nada u dan koji dolazi.
Nada je kurva, san je promijenila…
 
Više nema ga, nema ga, nema ga, nema ga…
 
Translation

It's gone

Shot:
They raised the revolution with smiles on their faces
let their hair down, discovered LSD and weed,
sang about peace, stood with Tito non-aligned, on
a national basis they weren't split, it was easy
to be a philosopher in the student cafeteria
penniless artist and musician in the middle of it all
things went more or less, the state was working, it was easy
to be a student in the seventies - my
folks - it was easy to find a first job, with
a diploma in hand nobody was in the stock market,
it was good living in that party system, Naked
Island was not mentioned, the subject was changed,
ragged urchin with diploma was employed
regularly brought home a secure paycheck, and
it was known that community work gave apartments, then
it was easy to have big plans
make their nest, be relaxed, without tension
drop anchor in a company, stayed in OOUR until
pension - a lifetime at the same table
then it didn't seem all just foolish, cheap
trick, no one was lacking for food
they were happy in their small apartment
job security, seniority and pension, for the moment it was easy
it was decided that they'd get us
 
Chorus:
Nothing is the same, there is no sure path
There is no direct flight to the stars for a better tomorrow
The black and white dream world is now a world in color
But it's too far away, as if it doesn't even exist ...
It is no longer, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone ...
 
Shot:
And today - today is
another time, enough has changed, we are
already adults and we're still not started
no jobs, everyone gets by how they know, or
sits on the exchange or for connections give bribes,
as tenants compared with salaries in hand, without
any kind of security and a head full of confusion, today
it's a premium to have - work is indefinite
who will give an internship and have social taken care of, that's
no more, nowadays times are different, and
it wourldn't be said that we're a lazy generation, we are
willing to work, break our backs if need be,
we learned from our elders that money doesn't fall from the sky
 
Remi:
The past smiles at us with tired eyes
And in the air is the smell of nostalgia
There is no mud, no rattles, it's all gone with the wind
Our folks at least live with the memories
They were pioneers of the past, students have grown up
and no one is driving a red Yugo anymore
The money disappeared, workers retired
our hope remains for the days to come.
Hope is a whore, the dream has changed ...
 
It is no more, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone ...
