Dubioza kolektiv Prvi maj translation
Prvi maj
First may
Ni danas nije počeo svenarodni ustanak
Popular revolt didn't begin again today
idu svi na sindikalni prvomajski uranak
Everybody's going to the trade union mayday picnic
Proleteri kao jedan žure do cilja
Proletarians hurrying to their goal as one
nozdrve golica miris roštilja
Noses are tickled by the smell of barbecue
U potoku hladi se par gajbi piva
In the stream a couple of beer crates are cooling
iz flaša se nateže rakija šljiva
Plum brandy is sipped out of bottles
Radničke parole danas nema ko da nosa
There's nobody to carry workers' slogans today
i neće se pjevat' "Bandiera rossa"
Nobody will be singing Bandiera Rossa
Niko ne priziva suzavac, pendrek
Nobody's wishing for teargas and nightsticks
zašto politikom kvariti dernek
Why spoil a party with politics
Tequila sunrise, mjesto Molotova
Tequila Sunrise, instead of Molotovs
u kolo se hvata i kordon drotova
A cordon of cops is joining the folk dance
Digla se čitava bivša Juga
The whole of ex-Yugoslavia is rising
nećemo nikome biti sluga
We will be nobody's slaves
Neustrašivo derneči drug uz druga
Fearlessly partying, comrade with comrade
hrabro se mezi i složno se cuga
We're bravely munching and drinking in unity
Naspi nam po rakiju i nazdravi za kraj
Poor us some brandy and raise a glass for the end
tehnološki višak danas slavi 1. maj
Redundant workers are celebrating May Day
Ovdje se rastajemo, zbogom, good bye
Here we part our ways, fair well, goodbye
mi idemo u stečaj, sretan 1. maj
We're going bankrupt, happy May Day
Danas nije Olimpijada
Today isn't the Olympics
danas nije ni gej parada
Today isn't the Gay Parade
Garant nije Čimburijada
I'm sure it's not Scrambled Eggs Day*
danas je praznik, Dan rada
Today is the holiday, the International Workers' Day
Radnička pjesma gromko se ori
Workers' song is echoing loudly
pjesma što slavi neradni dan
A song that celebrates a work-free day
Suncobran, meza, potok žubori
Sun umbrellas, snacks, the stream is burbling
zašto da kvarimo savršen plan?
Why spoil the perfect plan?
Nikog ne zanima ni klasna borba
Nobody cares for class struggle
krčka u kazanu begova čorba
Veal stew is boiling in the pot
Kakva revolucija i Pariška komuna
Who cares about revolution and the Commune of Paris
evo deset ćevapa u pola somuna
Here's ten ćevapčići in half a bun
Kad ugase roštilje i utihnu pjevaljke
When the barbecues burn out and the singers shut up
s livade nestanu ćebad i ležaljke
When blankets and deck chairs disappear from the meadow
Kući ćeš umoran leći u krevet
You'll lie tired in your bed
sanjaćeš zaslužen radnički dženet
And dream of deserved workers' paradise
Prije tih snova sebi obećaj
Before that dream promise yourself
samo levati idu u stečaj
Only the naive work in companies that go bankrupt
Biro je početak, a penzija kraj
The dole is the beginning and retirement is the end
radnička klasa odlazi u raj
The working class is going to heaven
