Taxi
Luka Basi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vozimo se ja i stari taxi
On je prešo
Bar milijon a ja još na praksi
Ljudi uđu
Pa mi kažu gdje su noćas bili
I uglavnom
Pazi mali na krivine
Kad to kažu meni sine
Nije nije fešta bila
Ako nemaš tri promila
Nije nije dobro bilo
Gdje se vino nije pilo
Nije bila tarapana
Ako nema maligana
Ako nisi noćas pio
Ko da nigdje nisi bio
Jedva uđe
Gospođa ruža, varala je muža
Subota je
Ljudi moji, pa se ji ne broji
Muzikanti
Idu z gaže uvijek skonto traže
Gazda nije
Lovu dao
Napio se i pod šator pao
Pazi mali na krivine
Kad to kažu meni sine
Nije nije fešta bila
Ako nemaš tri promila
Nije nije dobro bilo
Gdje se vino nije pilo
Nije bila tarapana
Ako nema maligana
Ako nisi noćas pio
Ko da nigdje nisi bio
Evo zore, evo zore
Došlo vrijeme
Da se rastaje
Ali prije, ali prije
Zadnja čaša
Nek se popije
Nije nije fešta bila
Ako nemaš tri promila
Nije nije dobro bilo
Gdje se vino nije pilo
Nije bila tarapana
Ako nema maligana
Ako nisi noćas pio
Ko da nigdje nisi nisi bio
The song "Taxi" by Luka Basi is a lively and upbeat tune that depicts the experiences of a taxi driver in the city at nighttime. The song is sung in Croatian, and in the first verse, the taxi driver talks about driving around all night in his old taxi, which has already clocked over a million miles while he is still a novice driver. Throughout the song, different passengers get into the taxi, and they all have stories to tell about where they've been and what they've been doing.
The singer warns his young son, who is presumably sitting in the passenger seat next to him, to be careful on the winding roads whenever any passengers mention that they had too much to drink. The chorus of the song repeats the same message: "It wasn't a party unless you had at least three drinks. It wasn't good unless you had wine. It wasn't a mess unless there were kids. And if you didn't drink last night, it was like you weren't anywhere."
The song portrays various characters and their experiences with humor and wit. For instance, a woman called Mrs. Ruža gets into the taxi, claiming she has cheated on her husband. Later on, musicians who have just finished a gig get into the taxi and complain that they were not paid and the manager was drunk. The song ends as the sun rises, and the singer's passengers go their separate ways.
In conclusion, "Taxi" by Luka Basi offers a window into the nightlife of a busy city and the experiences of those living and partying in it. It is a fun and catchy song that combines humorous lyrics with a lively tune.
