Predrag Samardžiski

In the Macedonian Globus
That goes by the name of Fokus
I read an interview with a basketball player
Who says:
In Macedonia they call me a bastard,
But in Partisan I am a star!

If only Sinan Gudžević could be here
To answer him in epigrammatic form
That although in Partisan he may be a star
In the Red Star he cannot be a partisan

And even in Partisan
Majstorče
Times being what they are
A star you may well be
But a partisan no chance
No way

Predrag Samardžiski

U makedonskom Globusu
Što zove se Fokus
Čitam intervju s košarkašem
Koji kaže
U Makedoniji sam izrod
A u Partizanu sam zvezda

Eh da Sinan je Gudžević ovdje
On bi mu epigramski reko
U Partizanu da još može bit zvezda
Ali u Zvezdi ne može partizan

A i u Partizanu
Majstorče
Eto
Da su došla takva neka vremena
Čak i zvezda da može se biti
Ali nikako
Nikako partizan
Close
