| THE POGUES & KIRSTY MACCOLL: FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK | BAJKA IZ NEW YORKA |
| | |
| It was Christmas Eve babe | "Bio je Badnjak, srce, |
| In the drunk tank | U ćeliji za otrežnjivanje, |
| An old man said to me, won't see another one | Starac mi je rekao, "neću vidjeti još jednu", |
| And then he sang a song | I onda je otpjevao pjesmu, |
| The Rare Old Mountain Dew | "Rijetka rosa Stare planine" |
| I turned my face away | Okrenuo sam lice na drugu stranu |
| And dreamed about you | I sanjao o tebi." |
| | |
| Got on a lucky one | "Stavio na sretnog, |
| Came in eighteen to one | Stigao na osamnaest-na-jedan; |
| I've got a feeling | Imam osjećaj |
| This year's for me and you | Da je ova godina za mene i tebe. |
| So happy Christmas | Zato, sretan Božić |
| I love you baby | Volim te, draga, |
| I can see a better time | Mogu zamisliti bolja vremena |
| When all our dreams come true | Kad se svi naši snovi ostvare." |
| | |
| They've got cars big as bars | 'Imaju aute velike kao barove, |
| They've got rivers of gold | Imaju rijeke od zlata, |
| But the wind goes right through you | Ali vjetar prođe ravno kroz tebe, |
| It's no place for the old | Nije to mjesto za starce. |
| When you first took my hand | Kad si me prvi put uzeo za ruku |
| On a cold Christmas Eve | Na hladno Badnje veče, |
| You promised me | Obećao si mi |
| Broadway was waiting for me | Da me Broadway čeka.' |
| | |
| You were handsome | 'Bio si zgodan' |
| You were pretty | 'Bila si lijepa, |
| Queen of New York City | Kraljica New Yorka.' |
| When the band finished playing | Kad je bend završio sa svirkom, |
| They howled out for more | Zavijali su neka sviraju još. |
| Sinatra was swinging, | Sinatra se njihao; |
| All the drunks they were singing | Svi pijanci su pjevali; |
| We kissed on a corner | Ljubili smo se na uglu, |
| Then danced through the night | Oni su plesali kroz noć. |
| | |
| The boys of the NYPD choir | Dečki iz zbora njujorške policije |
| Were singing "Galway Bay" | Pjevali su 'Galway Bay' |
| And the bells were ringing out | A zvona su zvonila |
| For Christmas day | Za Božić |
| | |
| You're a bum | 'Ti si propalica, |
| You're a punk | Ti si probisvijet.' |
| You're an old slut on junk | "Ti si stara drolja na džanku, |
| Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed | Ležiš tamo skoro mrtva na dripu u tom krevetu." |
| You scumbag, you maggot | 'Ti huljo, ti nitkove, |
| You cheap lousy faggot | Ti jadni pišljivi pederu, |
| Happy Christmas your arse | Sretan Božić, dupe tvoje, |
| I pray God it's our last | Molim Boga da nam je zadnji' |
| | |
| The boys of the NYPD choir | Dečki iz zbora njujorške policije |
| Were singing "Galway Bay" | Još pjevaju 'Galway Bay' |
| And the bells were ringing out | A zvona zvone |
| For Christmas day | Za Božić |
| | |
| I could have been someone | "Mogao sam biti netko" |
| Well so could anyone | 'Pa svatko je mogao. |
| You took my dreams from me | Uzeo si mi moje snove |
| When I first found you | Čim sam naletjela na tebe.' |
| I kept them with me babe | "Zadržao sam ih kod sebe, srce, |
| I put them with my own | Stavio sam ih sa svojima. |
| Can't make it all alone | Ne mogu ja uspjeti sam, |
| I've built my dreams around you. | Sagradio sam snove oko tebe." |
| | |
| The boys of the NYPD choir | Dečki iz zbora njujorške policije |
| Were singing "Galway Bay" | Još pjevaju 'Galway Bay' |
| And the bells were ringing out | A zvona zvone |
| For Christmas day | Za Božić |
