I remember this song was a big hit in the Balkans when it came out. It's a song about a 40 year old man being in love with a 19 year old girl. I listened to it the other day and started thinking about just how insanely politically incorrect the lyrics are by modern Western standards. JFL at the video too.
Here is the English translation:

The most wanted merchandise in town
We've passed a lot
And look where are we now
Both of us are sad, everything is dying
Is this our love
That we used to swear with?
Everyone is pushing his own truth
And life is dividing us
Chorus:
You are the most wanted merchandise in town
Everybody wants you so young and so pretty
And I'm on the threshold of my forties
And I have to keep going without you
But you'll remember sometime
You won't be so young and pretty any more
You'll remember all the things you had in me
But you went away
I've passed the half of my life
And your youth and prettynes
Used to be like the air I used to breathe
You want a different life
You want all the people to admire you
And your age of nineteen
Is like a wound in my chest
What would be the reaction if a song like this was made in USA or Canada?
