Proljeće Lyrics Translation – Edo Maajka | Idem
The poet writes, ‘The Earth is turning, and the best angle is when it’s spring.’ This line captures the song’s celebration of renewal, as bees, butterflies, and even the Sava river come alive. Edo Maajka mentions specific moments, like enjoying rakija at Dolac market and playing chess with Jura Stublić, adding a personal touch to the story.
Jutro je, Sunce je, proljeće i vruće jeIt’s morning, it’s sunny, it’s spring and it’s hot.
Srce se otvara, kesten ima ključeveThe heart opens up, the chestnut tree holds the keys.
Cvjetovi mirišu po Zelenom valuThe flowers smell along the ‘Green Wave’.
Eno ih Delboyi u boji napadaju fasaduThere they are, the ‘Delboys’ in color, attacking the facade.
Sljeme me zove, Maksimir me zoveSljeme is calling me, Maksimir is calling me.
Krpelji prijete s maslačka: J#####o ti nanuTicks are threatening from the dandelions: Go to hell!
Planiram za 1. maj s penzićima na grahI’m planning for May 1st, for bean stew with the pensioners.
Jura Stublić je u parku, snjim na pivo pa na šahJura Stublić is in the park, I’ll have a beer with him, then play some chess.
Ne može bolje, vratile se bojeIt can’t get any better, the colors are back.
Na Dolcu je rakija i Prži se srce mojeeeThere’s ‘rakija’ at Dolac market and my heart is on fireeee.
Pčele se znoje, leptiri čak u stomakuThe bees are sweating, there are even butterflies in my stomach.
Palimo đoje, s nepalcima ćilam u parkuWe’re lighting up joints, chilling in the park with the Nepalese guys.
Proljeće u zraku, nosim joj bazgu i bagremSpring is in the air, I’m bringing her elderflower and acacia.
Jagodama je dignem ko ona mene kad padnemI lift her up with strawberries like she lifts me up when I fall.
Krenem pa stanem, ko s cigaretom i dijetomI start and then I stop, like with cigarettes and a diet.
Plešem i skačem, J#####n svira na Cvjetnom…I’m dancing and jumping, some wild music’s playing on Cvjetni Square…
Zemlja se okreće, a najbolji je kut kad je proljećeThe Earth is turning, and the best angle is when it’s spring.
I je može nam pobjeć jer glave će nam stalno htjet u proljećeAnd it can’t escape us because our heads will always want to be in spring.
Sunce nas pokreće, najljepši je grad kad je proljeće,The sun gets us moving, the city is most beautiful when it’s spring,
Živi smo čovječe a najviše u proljeće.We’re alive, man, and most alive in the spring.
Lakše se budimI wake up more easily,
i lakse mi se dizatand it’s easier for me to get up.
i moram priznat da me sora optimizamand I have to admit, I’m hit by a wave of optimism.
ova je zima fkt bila teška krizaThis winter was a really tough crisis.
i proljetno sunce sada ne bi mijenjo ni za štoand I wouldn’t trade this spring sun for anything now.
tražim stol al je nemoguća guževaI’m looking for a table, but the crowd is impossible.
u krivom upijamo cugu kao spuževaWe’re soaking up drinks like sponges on the corner.
uz dulje dane dolaze i dulje noćiWith longer days come longer nights.
gradski pločnik nikad ne izgubi moćThe city pavement never loses its power.
sviram u močvari na topli danI’m playing a gig at Močvara on a warm day,
al svi su vani na cigaramabut everyone is outside smoking cigarettes.
Sava se prelijeva iz koritaThe Sava river is overflowing its banks.
Zagreb je nekad tako zabavanZagreb is sometimes so much fun.
Zagreb je nekad tako whoooZagreb is sometimes so whooo.
Price se vratile i Lesi se vratioThe birds have returned and Lassie has come home.
Osmijeh vraća se na lice, ZAMP nas isplatioA smile returns to my face, ZAMP has paid us.
Pelud se vratio svi plaču i kišuThe pollen is back, everyone’s crying and sneezing.
Klijen odnosi štapove, Sava odnosi kišuThe chub are biting the fishing rods, the Sava river carries away the rain.
Duga se ruga, lijepi pogledi pucajuThe rainbow is mocking us, beautiful glances are being exchanged.
Bacač diska farba jaja i svi se tucajuThe discus thrower is painting eggs and everyone’s tapping them together.
Senna M fazon, dance devedesete,It’s a Senna M vibe, 90s dance music,
Ante na Yammatu povraća jer rime su mi kretenskeAnte at Yammat radio is throwing up because my rhymes are moronic.
Vjesti su preteške, srećom fore su joj presmješneThe news is too heavy, luckily her jokes are hilarious.
Tražimo rupe u matrixu ispod japanske trešnjeWe’re looking for glitches in the matrix under the Japanese cherry tree.
Loša vremena za nježne, sve je na mišić i grubost,These are bad times for the gentle, everything is about muscle and roughness,
Alfe na alfe reže a ja sam Alf ludostAn Alfa growls at another Alfa, and I’m just Alf-like madness.
Bježiš od bumbara na terasi Bunt baraYou’re running from a bumblebee on the terrace of Bunt Bar.
Ja se gušteram i smijem ko budalaI’m sunbathing like a lizard and laughing like an idiot.
Ko da me udara gljiva ludaraIt’s like I’ve been hit by a crazy mushroom.
Nema boljeg od maja, dajte ljubavi za Cara…There’s nothing better than May, show some love for the ‘Tsar’…
Zemlja se okreće, a najbolji je kut kad je proljećeThe Earth is turning, and the best angle is when it’s spring.
I je može nam pobjeć jer glave će nam stalno htjet u proljećeAnd it can’t escape us because our heads will always want to be in spring.
Sunce nas pokreće, najljepši je grad kad je proljeće,The sun gets us moving, the city is most beautiful when it’s spring,
Živi smo čovječe a najviše u proljeće.We’re alive, man, and most alive in the spring.
La la la la la la ….La la la la la la ….
