A man who married Buba Erdeljan
There was a dance night in Bačka Palanka
I'm lying, it was an ordinary drinking bout
We were just puddling, while getting older
It was ever more hard for us to keep up
After, we would always regret it and wonder
How far we managed to come while waking up with beasts…
A little before closing, a guy came to me
He had those Hitler-like mustaches
Signet ring and an untied tie
He intended to treat us, amazed by the party
Unfortunately, I was never a fan of those offensive fags
Who run after waitresses and who smell of barber salons, but...
I was tired, so I told that peacock:
"Man, I am knocked-down
I'm playing some songs, my days are passing
Drowned in the smoke of the restaurants
While under this tent wind blows"
He said: "Wait a bit, you were good with my old one"
Oh, so…
Yes, only then I recognized him
It's no wonder, almost a century passed
He was the jerk who married Buba Erdeljan…
Why did you do that
My lovely mouse
Why did you marry such a bum
Why weren't you careful
Why did you trade a prince for a frog
I would like to know…
You were your dad's princess, and I was a rogue
A scoundrel with hay in my hair
Take it or leave it, who could've guessed
Damn it…
Guy said: "I'm here with two nice ladies"
Yeah, more like two dangerous sluts
He winked at me, thuggishly
"We all screw around"
I winked too, sure thing
I sat like that with him
And those ducks
He kept talking
Oh, did he kiss her with those lips
Surely not…
Waiter, why are you so slow
Are you on a strike, too
C'mon, boy, bring us a bottle
It will last for a while…
I've been both north and south
Wide and around
And what is it that I missed
Not much, to be honest
An ivy from a high wall
And Buba Erdeljan…
Oh, I would like to know
Why did you do that, my beauty
Oh, you were worthy of gold
Why did you let him get tired of you
You fool
Eh, last year's snow…
Why did you do that
My lovely mouse
Why did you marry such a bum
Why weren't you careful
Why did you trade a prince for a frog
I would like to know…
I've been both north and south
Wide and around
And what is it that I missed
Not much, to be honest
An ivy from a high wall
And Buba Erdeljan…
