Lyrics and translation Doris Dragović - Teret Ljubavi

Teret Ljubavi

Nema mi do tvoga lipog glasa
Da mi lipe riči piva
Ka u ono prvo vrime
Da me dira, da me dira
Draga pisma tila tvog

Tvoju jubav skrila san pod skute
Da je moja, samo moja
Šta te to iz moga dvora
Tira priko sinjeg mora
Di je srića rekla bog

Daj mi reci, di ćeš sam
Praznih ruku slab i nevojan
Kome triba čovik nesritan
Samo ja te jubit znan

I daj mi reci di ćeš ti
Tek smo sad za život zrili mi
Kad smo već ga pola zgazili
I na leđima svojim prinili
Težak teret jubavi
Teret jubavi

Čemu život ako se ne dili
I na stini i na svili
Nismo crni niti bili
Već zbog vrile krvi krivi
Grišimo ka judi svi

Tvoju jubav skrila san pod skute
Da je moja, samo moja
Šta te to iz moga dvora
Tira priko sinjeg mora
Di je srića rekla bog

I daj mi reci, di ćeš sam
Praznih ruku slab i nevojan
Kome triba čovik nesritan
Samo ja te jubit znan

I daj mi reci di ćeš ti
Tek smo sad za život zrili mi
Kad smo već ga pola zgazili
I na leđima svojim prinili
Težak teret jubavi
(Di ćeš ti)
Di ćeš ti
Tek smo sad za život zrili mi
Kad smo već ga pola zgazili
I na leđima svojim prinili
Težak teret jubavi
Teret jubavi

The Burden of Love

I miss the sound of your sweet voice
That used to sing me such beautiful words
Like in that first time
That touched me, that touched me
Darling, letters from your hand

I hid your love under my cloak
So that it could be mine, only mine
What drives you away from my house
Over the blue sea
Where did happiness go, God said

Tell me, where will you go
By yourself, weak and helpless
Who needs an unfortunate man
Only I know how to love you

And tell me where will you be
We have only just matured into life
When we have already trampled half of it
And carried on our backs
The heavy burden of love
The burden of love

Why live if not to share
In poverty and wealth
We are neither black nor white
But guilty because of our hot blood
We sin like all people

I hid your love under my cloak
So that it could be mine, only mine
What drives you away from my house
Over the blue sea
Where did happiness go, God said

And tell me, where will you go
By yourself, weak and helpless
Who needs an unfortunate man
Only I know how to love you

And tell me where will you be
We have only just matured into life
When we have already trampled half of it
And carried on our backs
The heavy burden of love
(Where will you be)
Where will you be
We have only just matured into life
When we have already trampled half of it
And carried on our backs
The heavy burden of love
The burden of love
