Nellie McKay: "The Dog Song"

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

I’d like to dedicate this next song to Carmelo,

Posvetila bih sljedeću pjesmu Carmelu,

who was put to sleep a couple of days ago, because he got too old.

kojega su uspavali prije par dana zato što je bio prestar.

But apparently he was a very nice dog

Ali izgleda da je bio vrlo drag pas

and he always let the cat sleep in the dog bed.

i uvijek je pustio mačku da spava u psećem krevetu.

♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ (Zvuk psećeg dahtanja) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ I'm just a'walking my dog, singing my song, strolling along. ♫

♫ Samo šećem svog psa, pjevam svoju pjesmu, lutam. ♫

♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, catching some sun. We can't go wrong. ♫

♫ Da, samo smo ja i moj pas, sunčamo se, ne možemo pogriješiti. ♫

♫ My life was lonely and blue. ♫

♫ Moj je život bio usamljen i tužan.♫

♫ Yeah, I was sad as a sailor, ♫

♫ Da, bila sam tužna kao mornar. ♫

♫ I was an angry 'un too. ♫

♫ Bila sam i ljuta. ♫

♫ Then there was you -- appeared when I was entangled with youth and fear, ♫

♫ I onda si se ti pojavio kad sam bila upetljana u mladosti i strahu ♫

♫ and nerves jingle jangled, vermouth and beer were getting me mangled up. ♫

♫ i živci su proradili, vermut i pivo su me oštetili. ♫

♫ But then I looked in your eyes ♫

♫ Ali zatim sam pogledala u tvoje oči ♫

♫ and I was no more a failure. ♫

♫ i nisam bila više propali slučaj. ♫

♫ You looked so wacky and wise. ♫

♫ Gledao si toliko ćaknuto i pametno. ♫

♫ And I said, "Lord, I'm happy, 'cause I'm just a'walking my dog, ♫

♫ I rekla sam, "Gospodine, sretna sam jer jednostavno šećem svog psa, ♫

♫ catching some sun. We can't go wrong." ♫

♫ upijam sunce, ne možemo pogriješiti." ♫

♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, singing our song, strolling along. ♫

♫ Da, samo smo ja i moj pas, pjevamo našu pjesmu, lutajući okolo. ♫

♫ 'Cause I don't care about your hating and your doubt, ♫

♫ Jer nije me briga za tvoju mržnju i tvoju sumnju, ♫

♫ and I don't care what the politicians spout. ♫

♫ i nije me briga što političari poriču. ♫

♫ If you need a companion, why, just go out to the pound, ♫

♫ Ukoliko ti je potrebno društvo, zašto, samo odi do azila za životinje ♫

♫ and find yourself a hound, and make that doggie proud, ♫

♫ i pronađi si psa i učini tog psića ponosnim, ♫

♫ 'cause that's what it's all about. ♫

♫ jer o tome se radi. ♫

♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ (Zvuk psećeg dahtanja) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ My life was tragic and sad. ♫

♫ Moj život je bio tragičan i tužan, ♫

♫ I was the archetypal loser. ♫

♫ bila sam arhetipski gubitnik, ♫

♫ I was a pageant gone bad. ♫

♫ bila sam inscenacija koja je pošla po zlu, ♫

♫ And then there was you -- on time, and wagging your tail ♫

♫ a zatim tu si ti, na vrijeme, i mašući svojim repom ♫

♫ in the cutest mime that you was in jail. ♫

♫ u slatkoj mimici da si bio u zatvoru. ♫

♫ I said, "Woof, be mine!" and you gave a wail and then ♫

♫ Rekla sam, "Vuf, budi moj!" i i zavijao si i tada ♫

♫ I was no longer alone. ♫

♫ nisam više bila sama. ♫

♫ And I was no more a boozer. ♫

♫ I nisam više bila pijanica. ♫

♫ We'll make the happiest home. ♫

♫ Imati ćemo najsretniji dom. ♫

♫ And I said, "Lord, I'm happy, 'cause I’m just a'walking my dog, ♫

♫ I rekla sam, "Gospodine, sretna sam, jer jednostavno šećem svog psa, ♫

♫ singing my song, strolling along." ♫

♫ pjevam svoju pjesmu, lutamo okolo." ♫

♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, catching some sun. We can't go wrong, ♫

♫ Da, samo ja i moj pas, hvatamo sunčeve zrake, ne možemo pogriješiti, ♫

♫ 'cause I don't care about your hating and your doubt, ♫

♫ jer nije me briga za tvoju mržnju i tvoju sumnju, ♫

♫ and I don’t care what the politicians spout. ♫

♫ i nije me briga što političari poriču. ♫

♫ If you need a companion, why, just go out to the pound, ♫

♫ Ukoliko želiš društvo, zašto, odi samo do azila za životinje ♫

♫ and find yourself a hound, and make that doggie proud, ♫

♫ i pronađi si psa i učini tog psića ponosnim, ♫

♫ 'cause that's what it's all about, ♫

♫ jer o tome se radi, ♫

♫ that's what it's all about, ♫

♫ o tome se radi, ♫

♫ that's what it's all abou-BOW-WOW-WOW-WOW ♫

♫ o tome se rad- VAU-VAU-VAU ♫

♫ that's what it's all about. ♫

♫ o tome se radi. ♫

♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ (Zvuk psećeg dahtanja) Heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

Good dog!

Dobar pas!

Thank you.

Hvala vam.
