Lyrics and translation Arsen Dedić - Mrtvo lisce

Mrtvo lisce

Tako bih htio da sjetiš se dana
Sretnih kad bio sam prijatelj tvoj
Sunce je toplije bilo no danas
Zrake je bacalo u život moj

Sad mrtvo lišće oko nas se kupi
Vidiš li, ja pamtim sve
Svud mrtvo lišće, u parku, na klupi
Prekrit će sjećanja, kajanje, sve

Sjeverac ga raznosi noćas
A ako on odnese i nas
Tu pjesmu ću pamtiti vječno
I tvoj ću slušati glas

Jer pjesma ta i na nas sliči
Bila si moja, bio sam tvoj
Dani su tekli kao u priči
Bila si moja, bio sam tvoj

Ali život zna razdvojit one
Koji se vole kao mi
Stope ljubavnika briše more
Na pijesku ne ostavlja njih

Fallen dead leaves

I would so like you to recall the days
Of our happiness, when I was your friend
The sun was warmer than it is today
It threw its rays into my life

Now dead leaves are gathering around us
You see, I remember everything
Dead leaves everywhere, in the park, on the bench
They'll cover our memories, remorse, everything

The north wind is blowing them away tonight
And what if it were to take us too
I will remember that song forever
And I will hear your voice

Because that song is like us
You were mine, I was yours
The days flowed by like in a tale
You were mine, I was yours

But life can separate even those
Who love each other like we did
The sea erases the footsteps of lovers
Leaves no trace of them in the sand
