Oprosti mi, pape

Kažu da si s domobrani bija
Crveni te kažu htili striljat
Nekako si za život izmoli
Potkaziva 'jude, tira ih na Goli1
 
A posli si daleko dogura
Drugovi te uzeli za druga
Dali su ti upravljat' fabriku
Ti si svakom napravija vilu
 
Plenum čeka si ka najvišu muku
Za kog vraga sada dići ruku?
A zna si čuvat partijsku knjižicu
Uvik se pravom uvuć u guzicu...
 
Oprosti mi pape, ove grube riči
Al' ovaj život danas ni na šta ne liči!
 
Rekli su mi da si muške 'jubi
I državne da si šolde gubi
Protiv tebe ko je taj
Subverzivno cilja
Harangira sa desnih pozicija
 
Kažu da si pobiga gori
Po Evropi Interpol te lovi
Al' u pržun ne mogu da te vode
U Švicarsku stavija si šolde...
 
Oprosti mi, pape, to nije istina
Oni tebi, pape, nisu do kolina
Oprosti mi, pape, oni lažu mutu,
Ti si, pape, bija na službenom putu...
 
Vrati si se, posta demokrata
Ne može se živit od tvojijeh plakata
Od komunisti kažeš nema veće bruke
A do juče si jio im iz ruke
 
Sad je, pape, domovini važan
Sad ga čuva oružani stražar
Sa TV-a on govori narodu
Nema kada otić pustit vodu!
 
Sad sam i ja prominija stalež
Upisa sam se u tu vašu mladež
Ekipu su mi poslali na frontu
A velike sam šolde dobija na kontu!
 
Oprosti mi, pape, ove grube riči
I moj život danas
Na tvoj zivot sliči!
Oprosti mi, pape, ća sam druge sluša
Ja sam, pape, isti
Jer sam život kuša!
 
Oprosti mi pape...

Traduzione

Forgive me, papa

They say you were with the Home Guard 1
The reds, they say, were to have you shot
Somehow you managed to beg for your life
Make reports on people, have them sent to the Nude2
 
And afterwards, you got far
The comrades took you up as a comrade
They let you manage a factory
And you made each one a mansion
 
You thought of the plenary session as the worst kind of torture
Why the hell raise your hand now?
But you still knew to save your Party membership card
Always to brown-nose the right person
 
Forgive me papa, these rough words3
But my life today is a disaster4
 
They told me you kissed men5
And embezzled government cash
Who is that against you, with subversive inputs
Haranguing from right-wing positions
 
They say you escaped up6
Interpol is chasing you across Europe
But they can't take you to the slammer
You hid the cash in Switzerland...
 
Forgive me papa, none of that is true
They are not half the men you are
Forgive me papa, they dissemble and lie
Papa you were away on business7
 
You came back, became a democrat
One can barely breathe from your posters everywhere
You now say there's no greater shame than communism
But up until yesterday you ate from the palm of their hand
 
Now papa is important to the homeland
Now he has an armed bodyguard
Now he's on the TV, telling the people
He barely has time to go take a dump!
 
Now I too have changed my social standing
I enrolled myself into that youth of yours
My crew was all shipped to the frontline
And I got massive cash in my bank account
 
Forgive me papa, these rough words
But my life today, looks a lot like yours
Forgive me papa, for listening to others
Papa I'm the same, as I've tasted life 8
 
Forgive him, papa, forgive him, papa...
