Sixto Rodríguez - Cause Превод текста
Cause
Cause I lost my job
two weeks before Christmas,
and I talked to Jesus at the sewer,
And the Pope said
it was none of his God-damned business,
while the rain drank champagne.
My Estonian Archangel came
and got me wasted,
'cause the sweetest kiss I ever got
is the one I've never tasted.
Oh, but they'll take
their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys,
is bought or borrowed.
Cause my heart's become
a crooked hotel full of rumours.
But it's I who pays the rent
for these fingered-face out-of-tuners,
and I make 16 solid half hour friendships,
every evening.
'Cause your queen of hearts
who is half a stone,
and likes to laugh alone
is always threatening you with leaving.
Oh, but they play
those token games on Willy Thompson.
And give a medal to replace
the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson.
'Cause they told me
everybody's got to pay their dues.
And I explained that I had overpaid them,
so overdued I went to the company store,
and the clerk there said
that they had just been invaded,
so I set sail in a teardrop
and escaped beneath the doorsill.
'Cause the smell of her perfume
echoes in my head still.
'Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
in weekends of whiskey sours.
'Cause how many times can you wake up
in this comic book and plant flowers?

Uništen dom
Click to see the original lyrics (English)
Izazivam
Izazivam te da mi kažeš
Nemoj da upucaš svoju bebu
U lovu sam
Tatice, bolje bi joj bilo da beži
Hotelski računi
I prljave lanene posteljine
Rekla je da sluti
Ali ja sam rekla: 'Nema šanse, mamice, molim te'
Mlada i naivna
Mrzim kako nisam mogla da vidim
I sada imam truli
Gadni bes u sebi
Do srži
O bebo sad sam slomljena
Jer sam bila dobra devojka
Ali mislim da mi rastu rogovi
Zalupio si vrata
O, tata, upozoren si
Bolje bi ti bilo da se čuvaš, uhvatiću te sa
Tom prljavom malom kučkom
Izazivam
Izazivam te da mi kažeš
Nemoj da upucaš svoju bebu
U lovu sam
Tatice, bolje bi joj bilo da beži
Fer
Otišao si kad sam imala 15
Američki san
Se srušio
Pogledaj čiji dom je sada uništen?
Sada
Sada
Sada
Sada
Sada
Sada
Sada
Ostavio si trag
Zauvek mi ostavio ožiljke na srcu
Beznadežno sam odana
Da ne volim u mraku
Pokušaću da promenim
Šablone i načine
Ali za sad ne mogu da podnesem
Da je vidim kako živi još jedan dan
Izazivam
Izazivam te da mi kažeš
Nemoj da upucaš svoju bebu
U lovu sam
Tatice, bolje bi joj bilo da beži
Fer
Otišao si kad sam imala 15
Američki san
Se srušio
Pogledaj čiji dom je sada uništen?
Sada

Izazivam te da mi kažeš
Nemoj da upucaš svoju bebu

Otišao si kada sam imala 15

Nemoj da upucaš svoju bebu
U lovu sam
Tatice, bolje bi joj bilo da beži

Otišao si kad sam imala 15

Osvetoljubiva
Click to see the original lyrics (Spanish)
Da, da
Da, da
Mmm
Bebo, ne zovi me
Previše sam zauzeta zaboravljanjem svega lošeg što si mi učinio
Već sam odlučila da se večeras izlazi
Sa svim mojim motomama, sa svim mojim devojkama
I van sebe sam, osvetoljubiva i ogorčena
Izašla sam sa novim flowom koji ga zbunjuje (?)
Pomeram ga sa strane na stranu i strane na stranu
Danas izlazim sa svojom disko bebom kao kraljica
I van sebe sam. osvetoljubiva i ogorčena
Neka me Bog oslobodi od mogućnosti da se ikada vratim na tvoju stranu
Pomeram ga sa strane na stranu i strane na stranu
Danas izlazim sa svojom disko bebom kao kraljica
Idem da nosim suknju, obruče i lance
Pinja Kolada (da), nije mi žao (ah ne)
Sa Fefom sam, ona je šef (da)
Ona to pleše (e), ona me uči (e)
Danas ne radim (u), preplanula sam
Jebeš slavu (e), jebeš posao (haha)
Noć je duga (e), noć je dobra (e)
Samo jedan nasilni mambo i kraj problema
Vidi kako je lako, reći ću ti
A, B, C, je'n, dva, tri
Vidi kako je lako, reći ću ti
Ova motomami više nije za tebe
Vidi kako je lako, reći ću ti
A, B, C, je'n, dva, tri
Vidi kako je to lako, reći ću ti
Ova motomami—
I van sebe sam, osvetoljubiva i ogorčena
Izašla sam sa novim flowom koji ga zbunjuje (?)
Pomeram ga sa strane na stranu i strane na stranu
Danas izlazim sa svojom disko bebom kao kraljica
I van sebe sam. osvetoljubiva i ogorčena
Neka me Bog oslobodi od mogućnosti da se ikada vratim na tvoju stranu
Pomeram ga sa strane na stranu i strane na stranu
Danas izlazim sa svojom disko bebom kao kraljica
Mmm, idem na 180 jer sam trkačica
Šta, šta?
Skrenuo si pažnju i već sam te prešla sa tvoje deste strane
Uh
Mmm, idem na 180 jer sam trkačica
Šta, šta?
Skrenuo si pažnju i već sam te prešla sa tvoje deste strane
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Ej
Da-da-da-da

Od Barselone do Santo Dominga

Hehe

Is everything really fine as is?…
[Stanza omitted in this performance]
The world is washed by the rain, dried by the sun…
In this world, everyone knows:
If you can hear - then you must listen!
If you have a voice - then you must sing!
I did not go looking for a forbidden treasure.
Life threw me a nickel - on that nickel I lived.
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
No abode, no yard… no cherry orchard…
Home and family to us - a tavern, everlasting
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
From the latest war, my rewards are prostheses.
They say we died for nothing in the crucible of war.
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere!
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
Even if we are docile, like an obedient herd,
And even if dogs cannot stomach our food.
We do not need anything! We need not go anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
Even though at times, we aren’t even glad to be living,
Even if the neighbor lives for a quarter a month.
She needs nothing, she needs not to go anywhere!
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
And it seems to me that beyond the grave’s veil,
Chuckling in the coffin, I will say: 'What a nut!
I don't need anything... need not go anywhere...
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
And when, finally, we’ll tire of humiliation,
Get tired of handouts, tired of fights -
Maybe then we will ask ourselves:
Is everything really fine as is? Is everything really fine as is?!

The Mariner
The Mariner, The Mariner
Has gone around the Earth
From Portugal to Peru
From Brazil down to England
The Mariner, The Mariner
Went on an adventure
On the Atlantic Ocean
He lived like a corsair
Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
The Mariner, The Mariner
Arrives from the ends of the world
With magnificent silks
For brunette girls and blonde ones
The Mariner, The Mariner
Had left without wealth
He returns on a three-mast ship
Filled with gold and jewels
Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
The Mariner, The Mariner
Loves the strong wind in the sails
The scorching sun of Africa
And the Northern Lights as well
The Mariner, The Mariner
Is a child of Bohemia
He doesn't know how to say thank you
But knows too well how to say I love you
Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
Ola Olé, The Mariner is back
Olé Ola, they say it's for love
