Zelena Si Rijeka Bila - Zdravko Čolić Übersetzung ins Englische

Zelena Si Rijeka Bila

Zelena si rijeka bila,
sirila si svoja krila;
Mnogo vise ti si htjela,
ali, ipak nisi smjela.
Oo, mala, moja mala, jos ne...

Nosili te vjetri ludi,
srcu sto te silno ljubi;
nosili te hladni vali,
da bi tebe meni dali.
O mala, moja mala jos ne...

Daj mi ruke sad,
da te vodim ja;
Vremena ima, mala,
jos smo mladi mi;
za sve doc'ce dan.

You Were a Green River

You were a green river,
spreading your wings wide;
You wanted so much more,
but still, you didn't dare.
Oh, darling, my darling, not yet...

Crazy winds carried you,
to the heart that loves you fiercely;
Cold waves carried you,
to bring you to me.
Oh darling, my darling, not yet...

Give me your hands now,
let me lead you;
There's time, darling,
we're still young;
the day will come for everything.
