Paroles et traduction Đorđe Balašević - Ilona

Ilona

Jednog leta, s' kraja sveta
Vozio sam putem sivim
Ja sam putnik, od tog živim
Samo je podigla taj prstič svoj i ja sam stao, otvorio njoj
Ona je anđeo bila, sa greškom bez krila, moj san
Moja Ilona
Još se sečam tvog imena
Sretna i sama, sva u bajkama
Gde li je sada Petar Pan
I svi oni momci
Ilona, tvoja je slika moja ikona
I čim se dignem ja joj namignem
I uvek tako počne dan
Dobro guram, kroz život buran
I mada živim dosta sretno
Ja nemam nikoga konkretno
Uz kog bi bio i sretan i lud i tako miran i siguran svud
Ja nemam nikog da mašta i priča mi svašta svu noč
Kao moja Ilona
Još se sećam tvog imena
Sretna i sama, sva u bajkama
Gde li je sada Petar Pan
I kapetan Kuka?
Ilona, tvoja je slika neka moja mala ikona
I čim se dignem ja joj namignem
I uvek tako počne dan
Slabo pričam, baš nisam vičan
Al' sad reči idu same
O, život piše ljute drame
Jer znam detalje, sitnice o njoj, a ne znam adresu, telefonski broj
Il' nesto slično po čemu bih saznao gde li je sad
Izvesna Ilona
Još se sećam tvog imena
Srećna i sama, sva u bajkama
Gde li je sada Petar Pan
I svi oni momci?
Ilona, tvoja je slika neka moja mala ikona
I čim se dignem ja joj namignem
I uvek tako počne dan
Lutko lepa, dobar dan

Ilona

One summer, from the end of the world
I was driving down a gray road
I'm a traveler, that's how I make a living
She put up her finger and I stopped, I opened up my door for her
She was an angel, with a flaw and without wings, my dream
My Ilona
I still remember your name
Happy and alone, all in fairy tales
Where is Peter Pan now?
And all those guys
Ilona, your picture is my icon
And as soon as I get up, I give her a wink
And that's always how the day begins
I'm pushing hard, through life's storms
And even though I live quite happily
I don't have anyone in particular
With whom I could be happy and crazy and so peaceful and safe everywhere
I don't have anyone to dream and talk to me all night long
Like my Ilona
I still remember your name
Happy and alone, all in fairytales
Where is Peter Pan now?
And Captain Hook?
Ilona, your picture is some little icon of mine
And as soon as I get up, I give her a wink
And that's always how the day begins
I don't talk much, I'm not really used to it
But now the words come by themselves
Oh, life writes bitter dramas
Because I know the details, the little things about her, but I don't know her address, her phone number
Or something like that by which I could find out where she is now
A certain Ilona
I still remember your name
Happy and alone, all in fairy tales
Where is Peter Pan now?
And all those guys?
Ilona, your picture is some little icon of mine
And as soon as I get up, I give her a wink
And that's always how the day begins
Beautiful little doll, good day to you
