Nikad kao Bane [English translation]

Even in school he’s been raising his hand ably

And it’s been obvious that he’d become someone

Oh, yes, it’s been obvious he’d be someone, like god

We were all growing up in a colorful kingdom of games

While he had a differed kind of pedigree

Little Bane was far away from that

And my mother used to wonder

O, my dear boy, I only wish I knew

What would happen with you

Will you ever be

Like Bane, a good son, quite and still, clean and nice,

Like Bane, polite and solid and useful

Like Bane, effective Bane, obedient and all respectful

Like Bane, steady and focused and reliable for everything

Before the graduation, the new interests arouse

Sports and music and restless dreams

Some windows filled with everything, just for us

But Bune, oh, did he have some empty windows

So, for all the various positions

We’ve been always selecting him

And my mother used to wonder

Where are you wandering, oh I wish I knew

And what will become of you

Will you ever be

Like Bane, a good son, quite and still, clean and nice,

Like Bane, polite and solid and useful

Like Bane, effective Bane, obedient and all respectful

Like Bane, steady and focused and reliable for everything

Here and there I sometimes run into this boy

Black briefcase and a chauffeur and Mercedes

On the news most of the time, oh yes

Without a blame, he jumped into the press

Because once you’re on the “famous” pace

Then everyone start to raise hands ably

And my mother used to wonder

Who is pushing him ahead, I wish I knew

And what will happen with you

Will you ever be

Like Bane, a good son, quite and still, clean and nice,

Like Bane, polite and solid and useful

Like Bane, effective Bane, obedient and all respectful

Like Bane, steady and focused and reliable for everything

life is a one big... well, I will not curse, nevermind, you know…

I lose a battle, well that’s true, but there is plenty more time

And don’t worry too much about what will happen, I can gamble, I can loaf, drink, and I can fall really low

But don’t worry, I will never be

Like Bane, a good son, quite and still, clean and nice,

Like Bane, polite and solid and useful

Like Bane, effective Bane, obedient and all respectful

Like Bane, steady and focused and reliable for everything
