Tigar iz Kladnja

Tiger from Kladanj

Tigar iz Kladnja

Ahmed Džindo knew very wellAhmed Džindo je vrlo dobro znao
Success won’t come on a silver platterUspjeh neće doć' na pladnju
He hit the bags, practiced karate,Tuk'o je vreće, vježb'o karate,
In the morning he ran through his hometown KladanjUjutro trč'o po rodnome Kladnju
Ahmed Džindo loved MinaAhmed Džindo je volio Minu
Her picture came out in "Slobodna Bosna"Izašla joj slika za "Slobodnu Bosnu"
Ahmed Džindo wanted to be a championAhmed Džindo je htio bit' prvak
World champion in Chinese boxingŠampion svijeta u kineskom boksu

What a big spectacle our canton would haveŠto i naš kanton veliki spektakl
One day it wouldn’t bejednog dana im'o ne bi
If the president called the championDa i predsjednik šampiona
To come over for dinnerNa konak zovne sebi
Zike immediately called his buddyZike odma' nazva jarana
In the German town of NübelungU njemačkom gradu Nübelungu
To have Ahmo knock someone outDa i Ahmo razbije nekog
Relax at home in the ringRahat kući na domaćem ringu

It’s a sport for the people in BosniaTo je sport za ljude u Bosni
Low blows don’t get judged hereNiski udarci tu se ne sude
And there’s only a short breakA ima samo pauza mala
For the cleaner to sweep the teethDa čistačica pomete zube

Black Sammy didn’t know what country he was inCrnac Sammy nije znao u kojoj je zemlji
Or how to properly eat baklavaNi kako se ispravno jedu baklave
Black Sammy only knewCrnac Sammy je jedino znao
In which round he should fallU kojoj rundi bi treb'o da padne
Zike and the guys from our cantonZike i face iz našeg kantona
Sat right by the ringSjede pored samog ringa
Zike’s hand on Mina’s kneeZiketova ruka na koljenu od Mine
Screwed up the concentration of the Kladanj TigerSjeba koncentraciju kladanjskog Tigra

Is it Sammy’s fault or Ahmo’s?Da li je kriv Sammy il' Ahmo
They analyzed it after the matchAnaliziralo se poslije meča
Our champion ran into a wallNaš šampion je naletio na štoc
The Tiger from Kladanj fell like a candleTigar iz Kladnja pade k'o svijeća

It’s a sport for the people in BosniaTo je sport za ljude u Bosni
Low blows don’t get judged hereNiski udarci tu se ne sude
And there’s only a short breakA ima samo pauza mala
For the cleaner to sweep the teethDa čistačica pomete zube

And while they were driving back to the hotelI dok su se vozili nazad u hotel
Ahmo felt every bump and ditchAhmu je boljela svaka rupa i jendek
The shocks couldn’t softenAmortizeri nisu mogli ublažit'
The bad roads and the sad wreckLoše puteve i tužni degenek
Relaxed since he didn’t have to diet anymoreOpušten što ne mora više držat' dijetu
He took a hit from the bottle and lit a cigarOn otpi iz šiše i zapali cigar'
To Black Sammy and referee HansTe crncu Sammyju i sudiji Hansu
He gave a short recital:Održa jedan kraći recital:

"Buddy, somehow here"Jarane nekako ovdje
The years fly by slowlyGodine ti sporo lete
This country doesn’t tolerateOva zemlja ne trpi
Planners, visionaries, and architectsPlanere, vizionare i arhitekte
Predicting and setting things up,Predvidit' namjestit',
No one here has that kind of smartsNi'ko ovdje nema tu pamet
Driver, stop hereŠofer, stan' der ovdje
Come on, I’ll take you for ćevapi!"Haj' vodim vas na ćevape!"

It’s a sport for the people in BosniaTo je sport za ljude u Bosni
Low blows don’t get judged hereNiski udarci tu se ne sude
And there’s only a short breakA ima samo pauza mala
For the cleaner to sweep the teethDa čistačica pomete zube
