Odakle Sam Ja Meaning & Lyrics (Coby | Rimski)
Premil Jovanovic writes about the chaotic beauty of Serbian life, mentioning weddings with ‘trigger-fingers’ and funerals with trumpeters. The narrator describes a world where gold chains, tracksuits, and rakija define the culture, while his heart remains ‘a Balkan cobblestone from the very bottom.’
Coby Jesi Ti Radio TrakuCoby, did you make this track?
Odakle Sam JaWhere I’m from.
Svadbe Su Za OkidačimaWeddings have trigger-fingers,
Sahrane Sa TrubačimaAnd funerals have trumpeters.
Narodnjaci Iz Bembare‘Folk music’s’ blasting from the BMW.
Kajle Trenerke Žene PrelepeGold chains, tracksuits, and beautiful women.
Odakle Sam JaThat’s where I’m from.
Moja Braća Sve Same LegendeMy brothers are all legends.
Žene Vrele Kô Duge DevetkeThe women are as hot as a ‘long nine’ pistol.
A Srce Kaldrma Balkanska Sa DnaBut my heart’s a Balkan cobblestone from the very bottom.
Odakle Sam JaWhere I’m from.
Brzo Pijem Brzo PlanemI drink fast and I get angry just as fast.
Lažem Krijem Srpsko SranjeI lie, I hide, it’s that Serbian madness.
Deci Primer Loš Ja DajemI’m setting a bad example for the kids.
Pa Šta Ću Tebi Takav Moj BalkaneSo what good am I to you like this, my Balkans?
Svi Kažu “Vidi Ga Debeli Živi Ga”Everyone says, “Look at the fat guy, he’s living the life.”
A Niko Ne Zna Šta Je Istina SipajBut no one knows the truth, so pour another drink.
Dođavola Piće I Žene Kako Iz LudilaTo hell with the drinks and women, how do I escape this craziness?
Ma Dođavola Sve Ove Pesme Dođavola MuzikaTo hell with all these songs, to hell with the music.
Pravo Mesto Pogrešno Vreme Ovo Je SrbijaThe right place at the wrong time, this is Serbia.
Dođavola Ova SudbinaTo hell with this fate.
Odakle Sam JaWhere I’m from.
Svadbe Su Za OkidačimaWeddings have trigger-fingers,
Sahrane Sa TrubačimaAnd funerals have trumpeters.
Narodnjaci Iz Bembare‘Folk music’s’ blasting from the BMW.
Kajle Trenerke Žene PrelepeGold chains, tracksuits, and beautiful women.
Odakle Sam JaThat’s where I’m from.
Moja Braća Sve Same LegendeMy brothers are all legends.
Žene Vrele Kô Duge DevetkeThe women are as hot as a ‘long nine’ pistol.
A Srce Kaldrma Balkanska Sa DnaBut my heart’s a Balkan cobblestone from the very bottom.
Odakle Sam Ja Odakle Sam JaWhere I’m from, where I’m from.
Tu Ljubav Malo Košta I Sve Se Reši Za Pare Odakle Sam JaHere, love is cheap and money solves everything, that’s where I’m from.
Brate Moj Hladne Ulice Su Al’ Usijane Su GlaveMy brother, the streets are cold, but our heads are hot.
Rakija Udara Kô Muhamed AliThe ‘rakija’ hits like Muhammad Ali.
Prangija Kad Se Pije RafalWhen we drink, the guns start blasting.
Kriminal Mafija K#kainCrime, mafia, c#caine.
Kako Boli To Zna Moj BalkanMy Balkans know just how much that hurts.
Dođavola Piće I Žene Kako Iz LudilaTo hell with the drinks and women, how do I escape this craziness?
Dođavola Sve Ove Pesme Dođavola MuzikaTo hell with all these songs, to hell with the music.
Pravo Mesto Pogrešno Vreme Ovo Je SrbijaThe right place at the wrong time, this is Serbia.
Dođavola Ova SudbinaTo hell with this fate.
Odakle Sam JaWhere I’m from.
