Legenda o Elvisu [English translation]

Hello Desh

Will this start already damn your mother

life is hairy like furs

life can be rough

sometimes smart is not good

better to be stupid

sometimes it spoils you and takes care of you

sometimes it makes you wear horns

a lot of sense of humor

dear God has

when Bosnian women give birth to black babies

beget in war

and when little black baby sees Haso

his father

and when Haso sees Fata

when he shows her kata (Karate move)

when he breaks her bones

and reaches for her neck

after seven days

that is at the same time

both will succeed to open their eyes

Fata and her child

Fata will remember

become red as tomato

from Chicago, herself naked

himself just as Wesley Snipes

Jeff Mills

from that military base under Majevica Hills

in the evening she was cleaning office

and that how Elvis was made

People, we're talking about Fata here

she's not like ?? (easy women I guess, not sure)

Haso was for 30 days

working in the mine near Pula

he was not coming home

but summer days are hot

neighbourhood loves to gossip

better not to *** around with them

all bloody and dirty

that old ho heard

walks around the house

like protecting the base around it

like piece of coal that he mines

Haso is holding the kid

and drunk he winds up Denis

and his song "Burrrn"

Maybe it's because of coal

he ask his friend Suljo

his wife Fadila

also has a black kid with him

"That's it, I swear to God"

swears Fata to Haso

"I belive you my love,

let's make him a brother"

When Mills' buddy

calls him from the base

and sends pictures of the kid

over the internet

And when Mills realizes

that Elvis is his kid

chemistry in his head begins to work

He packs up

Gets on the plane

and next moment he's in the base

and sits down at the very same table

where he was fondling Fata

"Hey, baby, hey"

Fata heard when she was cleaning toilet

??

"Wesley" wants to grab her

But she stops

nevertheless she loves Haso and her marriage

but Mills gets really mad

he says "Fato ***?"

"Baby come on"

get lost, don't be a horse

I must think of my marriage and baby

F*** off

Mills cries

in his head is Elvis

his baby

and the words "F*** off"

rijec "I love Haso" words "I love Haso"

are ringing loudly

he is mad as lynx

goes to coffee house "Kod Andje"

where Denis is playing

Villa "Kod Andje"

**** place

fools don't go there

last one was Sale

Don't **** with me (Give me a break)

bartender said to Mills

when he told him

about it (whole story)

Mills, my friend

you are not the only one who was dissapointed in love

He told him about Alma and Mahir

which he loved shyly

Mills was crying like this

"I can't belive this"

"Allahume sorry"

"Tobe jarabi"

Here you go, buddy, it's on the house

drink with us

(Thanjk you a lot

don't worry about anything

this is rakija (strong liquor)

Here, another one

Look at the black man, drunk as hell

you don't see something like this in Labin

Haso says: "Go Suljo

I barely pushed him into the car

Into Desh's Clio (small model of car made by Renault)

that night Desh was drinking with them

I must go earlier, he says

Edo was attacked by ghosts

Boom boom

Mills has no idea where he is

He sees Elvis, his son

he has tender smile

he thinks that he's dreaming that he's drunk

but everything is somehow real

somewhat real

little one starts to scream

"Daaaaddyyyy"

"Look, he's awake"

"He's just as chocholate"

Haso says to his son

"Leave the man alone, let him sleep"

"Gut'n Morgen" (Good morning in broken German)

you got drunk yesterday

"Ich bin Haso"... damn

this black man does not understand me

Mills gets up, he realizes

he gets pale white, that is, grey

he's at the Fata's place

Does this live here?

But Fata is not around

luckily Fata is at work

He thinks to himself: "I will steal the kid"

"Leave Bosnia together with him"

But Mills is smart man

He has a graduate degree

You can't buy love

You can't kidnap love

He says to Haso: "Thank you

"I must go, goodbye"

Haso answers

"It's not a tank, it was a clio

"

He hugs Haso, kisses Elvis

Fata is at work

he goes to here to the base

He tells her everything what happened

how much he cried, how much he drank

and everything that he wanted to do

"You are made fo ane another"

"Now I must leave"

"I will remember you baby,

"Fata, as long as I'm alive"

Fata starts to feel sorry for him

he's still Elvis' old man after all

no need that

Haso and the kid find out about it

Mills was happy

when she said that she will

when the kid grows up from time to time

send him to Chicago

It was a simple plan

he will become buddy of Haso

He will be family friend

and it will not be bad (everything will be ok)

And that's how it was

he was visiting them often

noone suspected anything

and it was beautiful

And that would be happy end of our story

and Haso and Mills have a son

and Bosnia has a basketball player

Last second... here goes Elvis for three points

A and he scoooores... we are world champions... world champions

here is Iverson, he is crying... all America is crying

who gives a ****, let them cry... we are celebrating

ELVIS 64 POENA...NASA VLADA JE OBECALA ELVISU
