What Was She Thinking?!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so this blog has "gone pink" for the month of October to support the cause. And as I have done every year since 2002, I am again participating in the BoobieThon, the proceeds from which go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer. And hopefully again this year, I can get the two men in my life to again submit chest shots (do it for the ladies, huh, guys?) for the 'Thon.

Or so goes the song Tuzna Pesma [Sad Song] by Serbian duo Neverne Bebe. Someone was kind enough to translate the lyrics from Serbian to English and upload the song to YouTube. Enjoy!

And here are the original lyrics, in Serbian, for those playing at home.

Rec, jedna i kraj
bol, gospodski sjaj
gazila bih duboku reku
samo da nadjem zvezdu neku
koja na tebe potseca

Zid,izmedju nas
noc, pruza mi spas
htela bih da ti zovem ime 
plakala bih al' nemam s kime
ubila bih i dosta s time 
znaj, ipak znaj da

Tuzna pesma na sto nacina
svetom putuje
stara slika naseg vremena
jos uvek tuguje
a kisna jutra opet pocinju
otkad sam otisla
smejem se a suze naviru
kurva sudbina

Zid,izmedju nas...

Now I lay me down to sleep.. I pray the lord my soul to keep. And I dream of the one I love. This one's for you, hoss.
