Mani me se, lepa Nasto [English translation]

I'm being pursued by Nastassja Kinski

Every day she comes into my dreams

She tells me that she loves me, like really sincerely

And that she's languishing without me

I'm slightly worried about this beautiful young woman

I cannot approve of her stance

She keeps my picture like some infatuated teenager

My picture, in her wallet

It's all very nice and very flattering

But my face is not made for disguises

My views about those things are old-fashioned

Leave me alone, comrade Kinski

It's not your fault, don't take it personally

It's about principles or something like that

I was born for another woman

Leave me alone, pretty Nastya

I cannot understand what she sees on me

Except that I'm tall, handsome and blond1

As soon as I open my mouth, her face turns red

And she rushes to smooch me

Her gaze sweeps men off their feet

But I'm resisting as best I can

She hugs me strongly, all Greco-Roman2

She wants to kiss me movie-style

Slow down lassie, hold your fire

Just go back to your rotten West3

To Paris, Texas and among Cat People

I'm not going anywhere from Bačka4.
