Virovitica [English translation]

I have never been to America yet

- and I have no intention.

Me to get whacked by some dude, for a Dollar, two, even three,

I have no such nerves.

And I would really like to see California,

And few other spots,

But I have a big phobia,

From those drug-lords and dark black cats.

So, sorry USA, maybe you are okay,

maybe the stories trick me, but I would rather stay here.

And I have never been to Soviet Union

- and I have no intention.

I would be in that Union like in some cage,

I have no such nerves.

But I would really like to come all the way to Rostov

Or to Georgia.

I am afraid of such vast space,

Maybe my illusions would get lost somewhere.

Excuse me, SSSR, maybe you are completely fair,

Maybe the stories trick me, but I would rather stay here.

[CHORUS]

America is lovely, beautiful even,

As Paja Patak known as Donald Duck lives there,

But not everyone is like Donald, I am frightened by that Ronald,

That one is troublesome.

Some connections Russians and me have. (Horosho!*)

That Dostoevsky simply sweeps me off my feet.

But not everyone is like Dostoevsky, I am frightened by Sibirevski*,

That one is cold!

But I often sang in Virovitica

- and fared well.

Even if tall cliffs were all around Virovitica,

I would come again.

In Virovitica there are no pressures,

And everyone lives peacefully, like hippies, in Virovitica.

[CHORUS]
