Neki novi klinci [English translation]

My grandpa has been ploughing the heaven crops for ages

but the grandma has kept all his chattel and the icon of our saint

The day i was born here they have planted a walnut

and in the garden, under it's dense crown

now some new kids are playing

New kids on the block, some new youngsters, unknown cubs...

New kids on the block, some new youngsters, unknown cubs...

In haze, on cake, nine candles are flickering

They bestowed me few tangerines and a white bunny

Neighborhood gardens ripe each may indistinctively,

but cherries and green apricots some other kids are picking

New kids on the block, some new youngsters, unknown cubs...

New kids on the block, some new youngsters, unknown cubs...

My classmate Milutin, second desk by the door,

has a four year old son and he is teaching him fishing.

Sometimes I stumble upon him

He salutes through his car window

and in the port, some new kids chase the ball

New kids on the block, some new youngsters, unknown cubs...

New kids on the block, some new youngsters, unknown cubs...

And me, i am gambling with this trickster - life

each new day he then pulls out the ace up his sleeve

And the elders, they tell me: "It's your time to shine"

But in the Jovan Cvijić street some other kids are bred

New kids on the block, some new youngsters, unknown cubs...

New kids on the block, some new youngsters, unknown cubs...
