lyrics

To su bila vrlo intersantna dvorišta, sad ne znam koliko je ostalo, nisam zalazio. Ja sam kao dete ulazio u sva ta dvorišta. To je znači bilo dvorište uđete kroz neki prolaz uđete u dvorište onda to ima, kao i ova kuća u krug su neki stanovi, česma u dvorištu, čak su nekim dvorištima pošto su tu bili radnici koji su radili utovar bili i šine za neka kolica na točkovima da se tu ugura i izgura neka roba tim šinama, koja je dolazila sa brodova da se skladišti. A šta je opet interesantno iz tih dvorišta, ponekih, ja se sad ne sećam iz kog, mene je vodio onaj Boba gluvonemi, tad sam se ja prepao, u lagume. I dan danas ima tih laguma. Znači mi smo ušli i jedva smo izašli iz tog laguma. Ja sam se toliko uplašio i više nikad nisam hteo da uđem. To je bilo strašno. Znači i dan danas se iz nekih dvorišta može ući u te lagume. Ja se više i ne sećam, meni su pričali, dođu sa broda istovaraju robu, raznosači raznose, tu su se pravile i pijace, veletrgovina se obavljala, dalje se to raznosilo... ali ovo je bio neki urbani deo koji je bio trgovački, a šta sam hteo još da kažem, ja nema nažalost kod sebe, ali samo sto posto siguran, postoji jedan zapis, vrlo interesantan, koji sam ja čuvao u kabinetu dok sam radio i da li mi je ostao tamo ili ne... Naredba jedna Obrenovića gde kaže svi zanati, to je baš vezano i za buku, koji su u Savamali i koji prave buku, nalaže im se da se isele na Terazije ili dalje u periferiju.

Those were two very interesting courtyards. I don’t know what’s left, I haven’t looked in for a while. When I was a kid, I used to go into all those courtyards. I mean, you could go into any courtyard through some passageway and there’d be a house, some flats all around, a tap in the courtyard, and some courtyards even had these tracks ‘cos the workers would bring in or take out these goods that would come in on the tracks from the boats to be stored away. And you know what else is interesting from these courtyards, some – I don’t remember which ones, Boba that deaf and dumb guy would take me, and I was shocked – had these vaults. Those vaults are there to this day. So we went in and we barely made it out of one of these vaults. I got so scared I never wanted to go into one again. It was terrifying. So like even today you can go into one of these vaults from these courtyards. I don’t remember anymore, I heard that they would bring in the goods from the boats, the unloaders would unload, there were these markets and wholesale of goods and then it would be taken on further... But this was some kind of urban trading part of town. And what I wanted to say, I don’t have it on me unfortunately, but I am one hundred percent sure, there is this record, very interesting, that I kept in a cabinet when I was working, whether it’s still there or not... It’s a decree from the King that says that all trades – it was all to do with the noise – who were in Savamala making noise, were ordered to move out to Terazije or even further out into the suburbs.
