Bajaga i Instruktori "Даљина, дим и прашина" lyrics

Даљина, дим и прашина

Мислио сам идем негде,сада видим, иш'о сам у круг.Мислио сам нисам дужан,а сад видим имам неки дуг.

Понео сам громобране,ако буде олуја и град.Понео сам падобранеако треба да ублаже пад.

Када кренеш, никад не знашкол'ко траје лет,колико је дана достада упознаш свет.

Даљина, дим и прашина...

Ишао сам друмовимакроз јаву и сан,сретао сам добре људескоро сваки дан.

Даљина, дим и прашина...

Мислио сам радим нешто,и то би ме умирило скроз.Мислио сам чекам трамвај,кад однекуд стиже брзи воз.

The distance, smoke and dust

I thought I was going somewhere,Now I see I was going in circles.I thought I didn’t owe anything,Now I see I’ve got some debt.

I took lighting-rods,If there’s storm and hail.I took parachutes,If they need to soften the fall.

When you take off, you never knowHow long the flight takes,How many days is enoughTo get to know the world.

The distance, smoke and dust...

I went down the roadsThrough reality and dreams,I met good peopleAlmost every day.

The distance, smoke and dust...

I though I was doing somethingAnd that would totally calm me down.I thought I was waiting for a tramcar,When an express train came from somewhere.
