Lyrics and translation Bijelo Dugme - Jer Kad Ostaris

Jer Kad Ostaris

Jer, kad ostariš
Niko ne kuca na tvoja vrata
Ni potok s ribama od srebra
Ni mlado ždrijebe vlažna oka
Ni jabuka u cvatu, niko

Samo ja, kad ostariš
Kao oblak u tvojoj kafi
Doći ću u grombi kaputu
I čuću kad ti se moje ime omakne
I krene polako, sama od sebe
Posljednja suza za mene

Jedan za drugim, vozovi polako prolaze
Kao i obično, stavićeš kaćune u prozore
Čini mi se da mjesec Ramazana počinje
O, pomalo je tužno
Kada ostariš

Samo ja kad ostariš
Kao oblak u tvojoj kafi
Doći ću u grombi kaputu
I čuću kad ti se moje ime omakne
I krene polako, sama od sebe
Poslednja suza za mene

Jedan za drugim vozovi polako prolaze
Kao i obično, stavićeš kaćune u prozore
Čini mi se da mjesec Ramazana počinje
O, pomalo je tužno
Kada ostariš

When You Grow Old

When you grow old,
No one will knock on your door,
Nor a stream with silver fish,
Nor a young foal with moist eyes,
Nor an apple blossom, no one.

Only I, when you grow old,
Like a cloud in your coffee,
I will come in a thunderous coat,
And I will hear when your name slips out,
And starts slowly, by itself,
The last tear for me.

One by one, trains pass slowly,
As usual, you will put geraniums in the windows,
It seems to me that the month of Ramadan is beginning,
Oh, it's a little sad,
When you grow old.

Only I, when you grow old,
Like a cloud in your coffee,
I will come in a thunderous coat,
And I will hear when your name slips out,
And starts slowly, by itself,
The last tear for me.

One by one, trains pass slowly,
As usual, you will put geraniums in the windows,
It seems to me that the month of Ramadan is beginning,
Oh, it's a little sad,
When you grow old.
