Pekar, lekar, apotekar [English translation]

A baker, a doctor, a pharmacist, a wheelwright or a carpenter...

I could've been anything.

A bookbinder, a glazier, a healer or a mason

I could've been anything.

And a critic and a politician,

And a pedagogue and a demagogue,

A policeman or a jester

Anything, anything, anything!

A butcher, a canter or a stonecutter, a smith, a poisoner

I could've been anything.

A miller, a vinter, a vet, a cook, a guardian

I could've been anything.

A typist and a photographer,

A scenografer and a geographer,

A half-poem and a patient,

Anythig, anything, anything!

'Cos, dad was always telling me:

"Don't be a musician, the school is important,

Social and health insurance and regular salary",

But I couldn't be - without rock n' roll!
