Sve je isto samo njega nema [English translation]

Good afternoon, dear viewers,

you are watching the most recent news.

Today the big meeting is being held in our city,

This is what our reporter has seen there...

(Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Ahh, I remember the times when we all were "Walters"1,

and when we were making a concrete for "Brčko - Banović" railroad2.

But now, when even a dude can wear bra,

I see that this democracy

doesn't seem too useful.

And after all we all have been fooled up.

(Croatia)

I hear that in Belgrade

they watch the "Villa Maria"3.

But I just have no clue why they call it

"The hawk4 around old uncles".

And (meanwhile) our pretty girl

is married off to Europe5,

But at each holiday, like if we were Turks,

Oh dear, the folk artists play.

Refrain

It's all the same, only he6 is gone,

"Dugme" has occupied the "Brego"7,

Summer is hot and winter is full of snow.

Everything has remained, only he is gone.

(Montenegro)

So, what if I could divide

my own country to six republics,

but in such a way that Podgorica8 is the capital.

And every day there would be a day off,

except of Friday, when everyone would have a duty

of preparing to weekend.

(North Macedonia)

We all loved him,

We even used to cry.

On each wall there are his portraits

and we keep them safe.

Everybody has abandoned him back then,

and only Skopje9 was remembering.

And now they all want him back,

alas, we won't ever see him again.

Refrain

(Slovenia)

Everything was good for us back then and now too.

Everything is always good for us.

At the New Year's Eve we will go to Belgrade,

visit the "House of flowers"10,

drink a cup of coffee in the "Mercator"11,

everything like at home.

Hey you, my old comrade, you were so cool.

(Serbia)

And we could really (reach) the Tokyo12

(with our) nose (as long) as one of Pinnochio.

Everybody used to lie us as much as it was possible

and he was the biggest liar.

We were singing songs for him,

we were waiting him back from Africa.

We used to have a sea, and what could we do

without Ada Ciganlija13?
