The Stone - Jebeš pero, dodaj mač dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre


Translation

To Hell With the Pen, Pass the Sword


Shoved into formation1 against one's will
Like cattle realizing the bell has tolled
A mute witness to all suffering, to inanity
An adherent to the wrong standard2, to the wrong symbol
 
Get up and trample, says the voice
Ready your weapons3, hasten the march
Get up and trample, says the voice
To hell with the pen, pass the sword4
 
Get up and trample, screams the voice
Save your crops5, unsheathe your knife
Get up and trample, screams the voice
Besiege6, the power roars
 
Let us be led by madmen7
Let the flames rise to the skies
The time for judgement has come
For flaying skin off flesh
 
In silence, we trudge through the piles
Dozens, hundreds around
Savagely laid to rest by the bayonet
 
Get up and trample, screams the voice
Ready your weapons, hasten the march
Get up and trample, screams the voice
To hell with the pen, pass the sword
 
Then, something thunders at dawn
I saw one's legs remain steadfast
While his guts spilled out
And coalesced with the mud8
 
Now you dress your wounds with dung
Plant seeds with the Devil9
Where they do not belong, and still, you ask yourself
You ask yourself...
 
Let us be led by madmen
So our borders may be known
The time for judgement has come
For flaying skin off flesh
 
Get up and trample, screams the voice
Guts are hanging, bowels are oozing
Get up and trample, screams the voice
Come on, faster, into the grave
 
Suddenly, the voice vanishes10
Beneath a laurel wreath
Vaporized by a cluster bomb11
The victory is Pyrrhic
 
  • 1. As in a military formation, such as a line. The word 'stroj,' however, refers to 'unit.'
  • 2. As in flag.
  • 3. „Puške na gotovs” is a phrase originally used in the army, meant to signalize to soldiers to ready their rifle, but „na gotovs” has since spread into wider use to indicate that someone or something is 'ready' or 'alert.' Considering the context of the song and the verse, I think 'ready your weapons' is an apt translation.
  • 4. A play on the old 'the pen is mightier than the sword' expression. The literal translation is 'fuck the pen, pass the sword,' but 'to hell with' has a better ring to me.
  • 5. 'Save' as in 'save up on your wheat/grain/crops', not 'rescue.'
  • 6. Or surround, overwhelm, overrun, etc.
  • 7. „Polulud” means 'half crazy,' 'madmen' is more apt for this verse than 'half crazies.'
  • 8. A more literal translation of this verse would be: 'Then, something exploded at dawn, Next to me, one man's legs, Remained in line with his shoulders, While his guts made contact with the mud here'
  • 9. The original idiom is „Ko s đavolom tikve sadi, o glavu mu se obijaju.” Literal translation: 'He who plants pumpkins with the Devil will get hit over the head with them.' Comparable to 'you reap what you sow', 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes' or 'what goes around comes around.'
  • 10. Or 'dies down.'
  • 11. (He was) vaporized...

If children would rule the world





I.went for a walk today
Through friendly streets
The friendly streets of my city
Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
 

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
People are ready to judge me when I smile
When I smile, they look at me with malice
 

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing

Porncraving





It is known everywhere
The girls of Venus
The girls of Venus are infected by Venereal Diseases
In fact no one goes to the primaries/chief physicians to vote,
Anyone with problems of the urinary tract
But I am the chairman
And I don´t care about nothing
And further
I started again with HIV-love
And I don´t understand why you are upset
you have no reason
If I told you that the result is positive, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
Now I'm taking this sick word
And spread it to the whole electorate
This is a less invasive method
I will sit down in the armchair of a television talk show
And in a second I'll explain my program to you, so
Now I'm buying the TV, the love, newspapers and the Voodoo guru and I think
That this freedom is a little simple
As news, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
All the porn
All the porn
And with a sick glow on the face
Saying: 'It's crazy not to carry this cross
Everyone thinks so much of themselves
So let it be, love,
And tell me, what am I to you?
What am I to you?

Beyond (Reprise)





And we will follow our star together
We will surge like a tide
The whole world is our home
We’ll go all the way
To the beginning of all beginnings
Where our very first dock remained
From the depths as one we will rise
We will follow the star

Even though I don't tell you





If I make it to stay quiet this time
and enjoy this moment with nothing that interrupts us
If nobody's looking for us
I can stand up on you
You keep so stable when doubts come to me
 

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
 

You float on the room where you're in
And I'm trying to catch you, though you say that in every one of your lives,
you would choose me
How many mouths there are that want to eat
If they just knew what you can do when everything is over
 

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
 

Even though I don't tell you
Even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
This may end well
Even though I don't tell you
even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
this may end well
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
