When there's great warmth and heat
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
a cold liquid feels nice
la, la, la, la, la
The North and the South pole
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
heat with alcohol
la, la, la, la, la
Chorus:
It wasn't easy with me
I wasted everything anyway
my little one, thank you very much
the excitement of love carries me
that's why I drink helter-skelter
my little one, thank you very much
for not shooting me right away
Today a child, tomorrow an old man
life is worth a nickel
my little one, thank you very much
the excitement of love carries me
that's why I drink helter-skelter
my little one, thank you very much
for not shooting me right away
may you live long, because you missed
When I think of the womankind
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I smoke like a chimney1
la, la, la, la, la
Let's raise the beer mugs, everyone
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
drunk from love
everyone, from love
Chorus
1. the phrase in Serbian literally: I smoke like a steamboat
