Lyrics and translation Emina Jahović - Uzalud Se Budim

Uzalud Se Budim

Jos jedan dan kroz prste mi prolazi
Ni mrvu srece da uhvatim
Jos jedan san ja
Sama cu skrojiti, znam
Tuga se tugom lijeci,
To ni ti neces poreci

Jos jedan put
Gdje ce me odvesti bjes
Na putu tom nestace bol
I neka svi govore najgore sve
Kad dusa na put krene
Ti budi sretan bez mene

Uzalud se budim ja
I budna sanjam
Na tugu naviknem
Kao da se kaznjavam

Uzalud se trudim
Da ti budem sluga
Al' nisam vise ja
Dio srca tvoga

Eh da Bog da znas
Kad mi zatrebas
Krila da posudis
Pa da mi doletis

In Vain I Wake

Yet another day slips through my fingers
Not a grain of happiness for me to hold
Yet another dream of mine
I myself shall tailor, I know
Sorrow heals with sorrow,
You cannot deny that

Yet again
Where will fury carry me
Along that path, the pain shall cease
And let them all speak the illest words they may
When my soul sets on its journey
Be happy without me, I pray

In vain I wake
For awake, I but dream
To sorrow I have grown accustomed
As if I punish myself

In vain I strive
To be your servant
But I am no longer
A piece of your heart

Oh, if only you knew
When you should need me
To lend you wings
So you may fly down to me
