Zmija, Zaba

Okay, so this is a really popular Serbian "turbo folk" song called "A Snake and a Frog." The whole Serbian music thing is really interesting dynamic, because while it's really popular with people (think like top 40 hits, played in bars and on the radio and you can buy them for your ring tone via text), but there is another group of people who really hate it. Beyond just being polarizing between people, there's still some sort of cultural tension about it being Serbian and being really popular in Croatia. I don't know how to explain it; hopefully my host family will tell me more about why people hate it so much. Or like it so much. 


Here are the lyrics:

You're heat, you're steam, you're so hot
And when I look at you I want to eat honey and walnuts
I'd give everything I have for you to be mine
But when I want to grab you, you runaway anyways

And you easily turn all the guys on, then you cool them off
And you'll really make my brain go crazy
And when the others change their mind, because you made them sad
I know who you'll choose at the end, when you make your choice

Because I'm a snake, you're a frog, a frog
You can run, but it's worthless, worthless
And when you fall into my trap here in the underbrush
I'll swallow you in one bite

You're juice, you're powerfull, you're fatal
And I've always fallen for guys like that
I'd cry, if I'd surrender myself immediately to you
Because you'll think I'm easy for sure

So I run away, I growl a bit and you're chasing me
And you fight with other guys over me
I love you dear, but I'm just pretending
Because when you don't have me, I've got you

Because you're a snake and I'm a frog, a frog
You can threaten me, but it's worthless, worthless
And when I fall into your trap here in the underbrush
Exactly when you open your mouth, I'll vanish quickly with two jumps
