Bolje biti pijan nego star [English translation]

I am sorry that we were only good friends.

And life flies away, youth days are short.

Everything will once get back, only she remains.

Everything will once get back, only she remains.

Better be drunk than old, better be drunk than old

Wine does not know that we were once a happy couple

Better be drunk than old.

And when winter comes and the first snowflakes,

I will wait for you, my dear, by the I Gymnasium.1

But you will not come, I know you well, I know,

maybe it is better that way, I got used to being alone.

Better be drunk than old, better be drunk than old

Wine does not know that we were once a happy couple

Better be drunk than old.

Better be drunk than old.

Better be drunk than old.
