Lyrics and translation Mile Kitic - Kockar

Kockar

Ja sam zivot svoj stavio na kocku
mada kockar nikad nisam bio
i sve sto sam u zivotu steko
to mi niko nije poklonio

Otac cuti, majka lomi ruke
i sapce mi tiho k'o djetetu
mili sine nema srece lude
nije ona jedina na svijetu

Ja sam zivot svoj stavio na kocku
i ako je zivot samo jedan
i ako mi drugovi govore
da ga zato niko nije vrijedan

Ja sam zivot svoj stavio na kocku
sve zbog zene sto je drugi uze
i borim se da je sebi vratim
da mi radost smjeni gorke suze

Gambler

I staked my life on a gamble
Even though I was never a gambler
And everything I have gained in life
No one has given it to me as a gift

My father keeps quiet, my mother wrings her hands
And whispers to me softly like a child
My dear son, there is no such thing as luck
She is not the only one in the world

I staked my life on a gamble
And if life is only one
And if my friends tell me
That no one is worthy of it

I staked my life on a gamble
All because of the woman another man took
And I fight to get her back for myself
So that joy can replace my bitter tears
