Lyrics (English Translation)
How can I go on, I can’t be without you
I dream of you almost every night
When your blue machine plays
The opponent has no peace in their heart.
Ooo Željo, Ooo Željo.
Even God gave the blue sky
So he could watch his Željo from above
I am crazy, I am incredibly strong
Because I am a Željo Maniac.
Chorus:
You are Željo, the champion
You are Željo, the champion
To you, everyone else is like a toy
You are Željo, the champion
You are Željo, the champion.
How can I go on, I can’t be without you
I dream of you almost every night
When your blue machine plays
The opponent has no peace in their heart.
Ooo Željo, Ooo Željo.
Even God gave the blue sky
So he could watch his Željo from above
I am crazy, I am incredibly strong
Because I am a Željo Maniac.
Ooo Željo, Ooo Željo.
Chorus:
You are Željo, the champion
You are Željo, the champion
To you, everyone else is like a toy
You are Željo, the champion
You are Željo, the champion
You are Željo, the champion
To you, everyone else is like a toy
You are Željo, the champion
You are Željo, the champion.
