Lyrics (English Translation)
From the North to the South
The championship blue railway starts
And a train travels along it
With a Željo Maniac inside.
You have to be very strong
To step into the Blue Train
Whether it’s leading or losing
The Blue Train is always loved.
Chorus:
I am crazy, I am strong
I am a Željo Maniac
I am crazy, I am strong (Oh yeah)
That is the Blue Train.
From the North to the South
The championship blue railway starts
And a train travels along it
With a Željo Maniac inside.
You have to be very strong
To step into the Blue Train
Whether it’s leading or losing
The Blue Train is always loved.
Chorus (Repeat):
I am crazy, I am strong
I am a Željo Maniac
I am crazy, I am strong (Oh yeah)
That is the Blue Train
I am crazy, I am strong
I am a Željo Maniac
I am crazy, I am strong (Oh yeah)
That is the Blue Train.
