Olelole

Оле Лоле пишем ти песму девет дана,
брусим филигранске детаље,
нижем, ал' ништа од ђердана,
лепо неће даље.
 
Оле Лоле...
Намећу неки ритам марша,
луде се клањају ко ђерам,
певају песме с пуно фалша,
ја по своме терам.
 
Лоле, ваља ми тамбуру спалити
ко оне викиншке лађе,
пустити реком па жалити,
нек је ђаво нађе.
 
Лоле, дај ми да још једну испијем,
опет сам сањао сушу,
па пусти поново Џипсије
за моју душу.
 
Лоле, имаш ли икога на свету
или би са мном на пут могла?
Хајде да мењамо планету...
Сутра дајем оглас.
 
Оле Лоле, погледај само шта нам раде,
на карти неба ми смо тачка...
Стави пред кревет барикаде
и мирна Бачка.
 
Лоле, таман се лудило рашчисти,
таман смо надомак смисла,
ево их следећи фашисти
док си реко пиксла.
 
Лоле, дај ми да још једну испијем,
опет сам сањао сушу,
па пусти поново Џипсије
за моју душу, ајде...
 
Оле Лоле, цакли се Месец ко медаљон
ал' нешто горопадно мотри.
Построји звездани батаљон,
фалиш на тој смотри.
 
Оле Лоле, баш тебе брига, слушаш јастук,
стискаш ту свилу као клешта...
Мислиш на неки безобразлук.
о боже баш којешта.
 
Лоле, данас сам пун неке Шпаније,
трипут сам живео тамо.
Сумњаш у животе раније?
Ако, смеј се само...
 
Лоле, дај ми да још једну испијем,
опет сам сањао сушу,
па пусти поново Џипсије
за моју душу.
 
Оле Лоле, ваља ми тамбуру спалити,
ко оне викиншке лађе,
пустити реком па жалити,
нек је ђаво нађе.
 
Лоле, дај ми да још једну испијем,
опет сам сањао сушу,
па пусти поново Џипсије
за моју душу.
 
Оле, данас сам пун неке Шпаније,
трипут сам живео тамо.
Сумњаш у животе раније?
Ако, смеј се само...
 
Лоле, дај ми да још једну испијем,
опет сам сањао сушу,
па пусти поново Џипсије
за моју црну душу, Лоле мој!

Ole Lole

Ole Lole
 
Ole Lole I'm writing you a song for nine days
I hone the filigree details,
I string, but there's nothing of a neckless.
It just doesn't go.
 
Ole Lole
they impose some kinda rhythm of marsh,
idiots are bowing to it like a shadoof (1)
singing those songs with a lot of false,
I just do it on my own.
 
Lole, I should burn my guitar
like those Viking ships,
let it down the river and mourn,
so let the devil find it.
 
Lole, pass me another to drink on ex,
Again I was dreaming of a drought,
just play again Gispy songs
for my soul.
 
Lole, do you have someone in this world,
or you could go traveling with me?
Let's change the planet...
tomorrow I will give an add.
 
Ole Lole, just take a look what they are doing to us,
on the map of the sky, we are just a dot.
Put barricades in front of the bed
and there will be peace (2)
 
Lole, it's just that one madness stopped
it's just we came to the senses,
but here are the next fascists
while you say tin (3)
 
Lole, pass me another to drink on ex,
Again I was dreaming of a drought,
just play again Gispy songs
for my soul, c'mon...
 
Ole Lole, The Moon glister like a medallion
frantically it's watching over something.
Line up the battalion of stars,
you are missing on that muster.
 
Ole Lole, you don't give a damn, you listen to your pillow,
holding that silk tight like pliers
are you thinking of some naughtiness,
oh God forbid (what's got into me)?
 
Lole, today I'm full of some Spain,
three times I was living there.
You doubt in previous lives?
Yeah, go on laughing...
 
Lole, pass me another to drink on ex,
Again I was dreaming of a drought,
just play again Gispy songs
for my soul, c'mon...
 
Lole, I should burn my guitar
like those Viking ships,
let it down the river and mourn,
so let the devil find it.
 
Lole, pass me another to drink on ex,
Again I was dreaming of a drought,
just play again Gispy songs
for my soul, c'mon...
 
Lole, today I'm full of some Spain,
three times I was living there.
You doubt in previous lives?
Yeah, go on laughing...
 
Lole, pass me another to drink on ex,
Again I was dreaming of a drought,
just play again Gispy songs
for my black soul, my Lole!
 
Ole Lole * - In region Vojvodina, where Balasevic lived his whole life typical slang name for a male person is Lola (pronounced with long o). Here he made a female form Lole. And Ole is shortened form of this name, but also indicate to Spanish cheer ¡Olé! - Let's go, what goes along with Spanish rhythm of the song.
 
(1) big water pump before tipical in Vojvodina, the northern part of Serbia; a hand-operated device for lifting water, invented in ancient times and still used in India, Egypt, and some other countries to irrigate the land. Typically it consists of a long, tapering, nearly horizontal pole mounted like a seesaw.
 
(2) "Mirna Backa" - one of the old expressions in Serb language; dating from 200 years when this part of Vojvodina was invaded by Austria-Hungarians. Back then the region was known for many rebellions of Serbs, so meaning "peace in Backa" suggest the resolution of all problems
 
(3) "Dok si rekao piksla" - again local expression, meaning a very short period of time, seconds, that something will be done/executed as fast as you say tin.
