Lyrics and translation Miroslav Škoro - Rastanak

Rastanak

Njene riječi, ko riječi stranca
Kad traži put u kasni sat
Svatih koje kad ime je rekla
Oprosti, nisam ti prepozno glas
Veli mi, davno sam znala
Mi smo na staklu tek topli dah
Nemam još puno, al i to bi dala
Da te bar jednom ugledam
Poznato zvono i stan
Vrata otvorih sam
A tamo sjene tek oči njene
I strah na licu umorne žene
Rekla je odlazim, ovo je rastanak
Moram te i ovaj put ostavit
Al mojom voljom to neće bit
Tišina moj je prijatelj stari
A riječ drag i rijedak gost
Redam slike ko cvijet u herbarij
Mislim na nju i prolaznost
Ne gledam nikad u dlan
Ponekad pobjeći znam
Od sitnih stvari i od žamora
Do ploče hladnog mramora
Rekla je odlazim, ovo je rastanak
Moram te i ovaj put ostavit
Rekla je odlazim, ovo je rastanak
Moram te i zadnji put ostavit
Al mojom voljom to neće bit
Znam, tvojom voljom to neće bit

Parting

Her words, like the words of a stranger
When she asks the way in the late hour
Of the saints whose name she said
Forgive me, I did not recognize your voice
She tells me, I knew it a long time ago
We're just warm breath on the glass
I don't have much yet, but I would give it all
To see you just once
Familiar bell and apartment
I opened the door
And there were only shadows, her eyes
And fear on the face of a tired woman
She said I'm leaving, this is a parting
I have to leave you this time too
But it will not be my will
Silence is my old friend
And the word "love" is a rare guest
I arrange pictures like flowers in a herbarium
I think of her and transience
I never look into my palm
Sometimes I know how to escape
From small things and from the noise
To a cold marble slab
She said I'm leaving, this is a parting
I have to leave you this time too
She said I'm leaving, this is a parting
I have to leave you for the last time
But it will not be my will
I know, it will not be your will
