Ruski Voz

Russian Train

Ruski Voz

Train, sleepy trainVoz, pospani voz
To Kharkov, Gomel, LeningradZa Karkov, Gomelj, Lenjingrad
I know how far it is tonightZnam kako je noæas dalek
BelgradeBeograd

It will never be possibleNeæe moæi nikada
Pen and paperOlovka i hartija
Not all Russian postmenNi svi ruski poštari
Can bring youNe mogu ti donijeti
The letterPismo koje
I writePišem ja
Stamp with Lenin's faceMarka s likom
And in the letterLenjina
The only thingA u pismu jedina
Sadness that breaks meTuga što me razbija

Chorusrefren

It's not vodka, it's not brandyNije votka rakija
Although tonight it hits hardMada noæas udara
My sadness is greatTuga mi je velika
Great as RussiaVelika k'o Rusija
I can't sendJa ne mogu poslati
Love because it's not sentLjubav jer se ne šalje
Nor could I bringNit' sam mog'o ponijeti
Your kisses with meS' sobom tvoje poljupce

Train, in the train wrinkled faces of passengersVoz, u vozu izgužvana lica putnika
You are somewhere behind those mountainsTi si tamo negdje iza onih planina
Are you maybe asleep or awake like meDa l' si možda zaspala il' si budna kao ja
Are you troubled or not troubled at allDa l' te muèe nemiri il' te ništa ne muèi
When you read the letter I writeKada budeš èitala pismo koje pišem ja
The secret will be hidden behind these linesTajna bit æe skrivena iza ovih redova
