Read the lyrics to Intars Busulis’ “Probka”—Latvia’s entry at Eurovision 2009. Intars finished 19th in the first semi-final (that’s last place) with 7 points.
Probka
Probka – vse ustalji vot kak
Ljitsa seri, njervi, toljka b jekhat pjervim
Im pavsudu vstalji jesiki iz stalji
Vdrug ja vjižu vise prigajet po krisam, djevuska
Ej, gljadji, vot tak zabava
S mjesta na Voljva
Dim v glazakh, možet eta miraž
No glazam uže boljna
Ej, vazjmi menja navjek s saboj
Ja ustal trubjit sebje atboj
Ja kha?u guljet pa bamperam
Ja vjed nje privjin?en namertva
Toljka ja nje znaju, kto ti
No kha?u iti prosta rjadam s taboj
Vjidjet, kak vnjizu vjeter klonjit kusti
Na abo?inje zabjitoj kaljtsevoj
Vot kak iz akna mnje kulak
“Tak tebja i rastak!”
A ja toljka prig-skok, at stanov majikh klok
Ja astavjil, Bog s njim, daljse sto jest sil
Vozdukh ?istij tse-o-dva – krugom galova
Njeprastaja eta zabava
S mjesta na Voljva
Ja spesu na tvoj siluet
Daljeko už, davoljna
Ej, vazjmi menja navjek s saboj
Ja ustal trubjit sebje atboj
Ja kha?u guljet pa bamperam
Ja vjed nje privjin?en namertva
Ej, vazjmi menja navjek s saboj
Ja ustal trubjit sebje atboj
Ja kha?u guljet pa bamperam
Ja vjed nje privjin?en namertva
Ej, vazjmi menja navjek s saboj
Ja ustal trubjit sebje atboj
Ja kha?u guljet pa bamperam
Ja vjed nje privjin?en namertva
English Translation
Traffic Jam
Traffic jam – everyone is tired of it
Faces are grey, nerves, only to drive first
Steel boxes appearing everywhere for them
Suddenly I see a girl above, jumping on the roofs
Hey, look, what fun
From a spot on the Volvo
Smoke in the eyes, maybe it’s a mirage
But the eyes already hurt
Hey, take me with you forever
I’m tired of calling myself off
I want to walk on the bumpers
I’m not screwed on tightly
Only, I don’t know who you are
But I just want to be next to you
See how below the wind is bending bushes
On the sidelines of a packed ring road
I see there’s a fist out of a window
“Damn you!”
And I do a jump-hop, shredding my pants
I left, God help me, going on like crazy
The air is pure CO2 – my head is spinning
This is no easy fun
From a spot on the Volvo
I’m rushing to your silhouette
Rather very far
Hey, take me with you forever
I’m tired calling myself off
I want to walk on the bumpers
I’m not screwed on tightly
Hey, take me with you forever
I’m tired calling myself off
I want to walk on the bumpers
I’m not screwed on tightly
Hey, take me with you forever
I’m tired calling myself off
I want to walk on the bumpers
I’m not screwed on tightly
