The rhyme and rhythm in this one is just fascinating… She Threw It All Down the River (K. Monteno, performed by INDEXI) There she stood in the middle of the garden like the fairest flower, Like a figment of my imagination, music's finest hour, She listened to my song, the last one I sang under…
I was being my systematic self, again. I started compiling songs that I would translate into a single document and I was trying to be alphabetical about it so, naturally, I started with Azra. Suddenly I realised I was copying down almost every even remotely translatable song. What can I say, Johnny's a genius. An…
Just when I thought I gave up on this. Just when my creative self went for a nap and my systematic self organised this blog, my creative self woke up and meddled in. Anyway here's another one. It's a bit different this time. I have a message hidden in it. Semi-inadvertantly, though, I must admit….
Zoe is proud to present a true pearl of lyrics translation. Moodswinger has outdone himself yet again. He says he hasn't just done Bajaga justice but has been generous on top of it. I absolutely agree. But to me the incredible thing is that the song is “singable” even in translation. (Also, please note that…
A STRANGER IN YOUR OWN TRIBE (Major) what happened to that day when medals shone in the sky someone stole your body's quiver someone stole your breath away someone said the heavens will forgive I don't feel it and everything repeats itself Shalom has spoken out and many simple souls burned in the infernal flames…
I'll just let these speak for themselves… WHEN THE HILLS ARE BURNING (Major) why do you scream at me I despise your voice your children, your dreams your acts my river full of mire and dead fish doesn't want your sea your space I am I, hands of a murderer I am I, hands covered…
…summer would not exist without Oliver Dragojevic. Or in any case, it would not be the same. This is another one of moodswinger's brilliant ideas. And it makes sense, really, I mean you just can't do Zdravko and leave out Oliver. Dobro jutro, tugo (Z. Stipisic) [as performed by the immortal O. Dragojevic] Good morning,…
This is getting ever so slightly eerie… I'm not a tremendously big fan of Zdravko Colic, or at least not beyond what was implanted in my veins by a trasistor playing beside my cot. Still, if I had to pick one song… this would probably have been it. You Run through My Veins (S. Kovac)…
the word of the day 🙂
Inspired by moodswinger yet again! Though… I'm not too thrilled about the result… some things just sound “wrong”. Still, I hope the criticism won't be too harsh (hint, hint). U2 – JEDNO Je li ti bolje… Ili se jos uvijek isto osjecas Hoce li ti sad biti lakse Kad imas koga kriviti Govoris… Jedna ljubav…
