Pismo bratu
Marcelo Lyrics

Dragi Milose, znam da neces ni citati ove redove
Dear Milos, I know you won't even read these lines

al′ me cesto muci pitanje
But I often wonder

kad zavrsim skitanje i budan docekam svitanje
when I finish wandering and awake to the sunrise

Gde si ti, gde su te odneli vetrovi
Where are you, where have the winds taken you

ovi stihovi, tebi pisani
these verses, written for you

ne silaze mi s pameti
they don't leave my mind

Pa, Slave ti, kako si mi
Well, Slave, how are you

evo, reko' da ti bacim koje slovo
here, I thought I'd drop you a line

pod nasim nebeskim krovom bas nista novo
nothing new beneath our heavenly roof

Kao sto znas
As you know

razili smo promene
we've experienced changes

dobili zamene
gained replacements

pa sad bauljam
so now I wander

okotrljamo se i prljamo u blatu
rolling and getting dirty in the mud

Bas kao i juce
Just like yesterday

stvarnost te tuce
reality beats you

pa samo gledas bulju da izvuces
so you just stare to escape

ja zapalio na fax
I started at the university

paracin mi postao previse skucen
Paracin has become too cramped for me

A BG k′o BG, nekad suza
And Belgrade, like Belgrade, sometimes a tear

kad me osmeh ozari
when a smile brightens me

rokam svoje
I do my thing

pa ponekog vikenda palim dole do starih
so sometimes on weekends, I go down to the old place

Dobro su matori, sta znam
They're doing well, what do I know

isto, svaki dan, isti san
same old, every day, same dream

kazu, zivot je sljaka
they say life is good

al nek sve od sebe dam
but let me give it my all

Caletov pogled se gubi
Father's gaze is lost

pali cigaru, gladi bradu
lights up a cigarette, strokes his beard

kuca nam jos nema fasadu
our house still doesn't have a facade

al' kaze, ne gubi nadu
but he says, don't lose hope

Pita kako je meni tamo u velikom gradu, e, tata, tata
He asks me how I am in the big city, oh, dad, dad

zivim sa cimerkom u stanu od 26 kvadrata
I live with a roommate in a 26-square-meter apartment

I rokam solo kroz zivot od blata
And I rock solo through life from the mud

stvarnoscu ne baratam
I don't handle reality

ne shvatam, al' se ipak smesim iz inata
I don't understand, but I still smile out of defiance

A onda se setim da tamo negde imam brata
And then I remember that I have a brother somewhere out there

preko granice ispisuje nove zivotne stranice
he's writing new chapters of life across the border

A na ruci vise nema brojanice
And on his wrist, there's no more prayer rope

otudjio se od porodice
he's become estranged from the family

a kako ne bi i od rodbine
and how could he not from the relatives

Nisam ga video ni cuo ima 3-4 godine
I haven't seen or heard from him in 3-4 years

reci, Milose
tell me, Milos

granice nisu nista drugo do linija u atlasu
borders are nothing more than lines in an atlas

al′ jesu stvarne onda kad idu od srca ka srcu
but they are real when they go from heart to heart

Ti sada pruzas ruke nekom novom nebu
Now you reach out to a new sky

nekome novom suncu
to someone new sun

tvoj mali brat je postao MC
your little brother became an MC

radi album, ide ka vrhuncu
working on an album, reaching the peak

I cesto sanja te, nazad u dane pre
And often dreams of you, back in the old days

i nase stare ulice
and our old streets

ti i ja, blejanje i smejanje
you and me, chilling and laughing

kad leti dodjes iz Nemacke
when you come from Germany in the summer

Doneses mi igracke i cokolade
You bring me toys and chocolate

pa sa Tomasketom palis do grada
then you go to the city with Tomaska

da se hvalim ispred zgrade
to show off in front of the building

do′o mi brat
my brother came

I sat kuca i vreme leti
And the clock ticks and time flies

al' i dalje boli kad se setim
but it still hurts when I remember

i dalje boli kad skontam da vise nikada neces hteti
it still hurts when I realize that you'll never want to anymore

Da zajedno pikamo 'Robokapa' na glupavom comodore-u 64
To play 'Robocop' together on a silly Commodore 64

cida mi pustas Paca po celu noc dok ne popizde matorci
and listen to Paca with me all night until the parents go crazy

Ej, secas se kako sam se kao mali bojao oluje
Hey, do you remember how scared I was of storms when I was little

kad cujem one stare topole da huje, strahujem
when I hear those old poplars rustling, I'm afraid

ti kazes, burazer tu je, ne brini
you say, brother, I'm here, don't worry

a meni se cini, na nas srusice se
but it seems to me, it will crumble on us

Nisam kontao da sudbina znaci drugacije da nam srusi sve
I didn't realize that destiny means differently to destroy everything for us

da srusi sne, jer ljudi odlaze
to crush dreams, because people leave

cesto bez pozdrava
often without saying goodbye

cesto bez obraz
often without shame

stice se svog odraza u ogledalu
loses sight of their reflection in the mirror

Al′ ja sam tvoj i ti si moji
But I am yours and you are mine

dalje nemam sta da dodam
I have nothing else to add

covece, krv nije voda
man, blood is thicker than water

budi joj odan
be loyal to her

Bar nekad seti se
At least sometimes remember

bar nekad seti se
at least sometimes remember

onih dana od pre
of those days from before

vreme protice
time passes

al′ secanje ostaje
but memories remain

Dragi Milose, lose je
Dear Milos, it's bad

znam da za tebe odavno proslo je
I know that for you, it's long gone

a proslost je ta sto grize me
and it's the past that gnaws at me

iza zavese, kad sklonim oblake
behind the curtain, when I remove the clouds

Burazer od tetke, a voleo sam te k′o da smo rodjeni
Cousin brother, and I loved you as if we were born brothers

jedva cekao leto da dodjes mi
I couldn't wait for summer for you to come to me

da i ja imam starijeg brata
so I could also have an older brother

Dobro se secam tog dana kad sam te zadnji put sreo
I remember that day when I last met you well

leto 99, nebo prepuno ptica
summer 99, sky full of birds

prepuna glavna ulica
full main street

i ti koji guras kolica
and you pushing a stroller

u kolicima mezimca
with a beloved child in the stroller

Mala Mina, lepa je kao andjeo
Little Mina, she's beautiful like an angel

jebo te, moj se burazer sa zenom spandja
damn it, my brother is wasting his time with a woman

odecu izradjao Mic po mic, kontam
making clothes piece by piece, I think

post'o sam stric
I became an uncle

pogledi nam se srecu
our gazes meet

niko ni reci, stojimo i cutimo
no one says a word, we stand and silence

Toliko bih ti mnogo kazao
I have so much to say to you

al′ samo gledam
but I just watch

tako bih ti se bacio u zagrljaj
I would throw myself into your embrace

al' mi neka beda u srcu ne da
but some sorrow in my heart doesn't allow me

A taj tvoj hladan pogled me i dan danas sece
And your cold look still cuts me to this day

covece, par reci rece pa ode
man, saying a few words and then leaving

ja se to vece spucam
I go solo that night

k'o stoka, solo, kuci
like livestock, solo, at home

Pitao se po sto puta kako to ljudi odjednom postaju tudji
I've asked myself a hundred times how people suddenly become strangers

i vrteo kroz glavu sve svoje snove od malena
and run through my head all my childhood dreams

Kako sam sanjao
How I dreamed

da jednog dana mozda zajedno odemo na koncert Cypressa
that one day we might go to a Cypress Hill concert together

Sanjao da jednoga dana mozda zauvek budes tu
Dreamed that one day maybe you'll be here forever

gde sam sanjao
where I dreamed

a onda se probudio
and then I woke up

i skontao da sam blesav
and realized that I was foolish

Kraj je price
The story is over

i svako sledi svoju smernicu
and everyone follows their own path

P.S. poljubi cerkicu
P.S. kiss your daughter
