Lyrics and translation Oliver Dragojević - Poeta

Poeta

Sad je kasno da se kajem
Nima nazad s ovog puta
Pustim nebom sve dok traje
Moja zvizda neka luta

Ne razumin ništa više
Samo pismu duša jubi
I na vodi list što piše
Ona sebe ludo gubi

Potroši san mladost, i dušu i tilo
A sve lipo ča je bilo
Ča je ludo srce snilo
U pismi se zbilo

Sad ladne su noći i grko je vino
Neka skonča ovo tilo
Kad sve lipo ča je bilo
Tek srcu se snilo

Potroši san mladost, i dušu i tilo

Sudbo moja ča mi dade
Da su stvarni snovi stari
Jedan cvit u krilo pade
Mojoj slomljenoj gitari

I da neće, mora dalje
Ovo srce ča se dalo
Dok van s vitrom pismu šalje
Njemu osta lišće palo

Potroši san mladost, i dušu i tilo
A sve lipo ča je bilo
Ča je ludo srce snilo
U pismi se zbilo

Sad ladne su noći i grko je vino
Neka skonča ovo tilo
Kad sve lipo ča je bilo
Tek srcu se snilo

Potroši san mladost, i dušu i tilo

Poet

It's too late now for regrets
No turning back from this path
I'll let it all go for as long as it lasts
Let my star wander

I understand nothing anymore
Only my soul kisses the letter
And the leaf on the water that writes
She loses herself madly

Dreams consume youth, soul, and body
And all that was beautiful
What my crazy heart dreamed
Came true in the letter

Now the nights are cold and the wine is bitter
Let this body end
When all that was beautiful
Only dreamt of the heart

Dreams consume youth, soul, and body

My fate, what have you given me
That old dreams are real
A flower fell into your lap
On my broken guitar

And even if it doesn't, it must go on
This heart that has given itself
While sending the letter with the wind
Only fallen leaves remain for him

Dreams consume youth, soul, and body
And all that was beautiful
What my crazy heart dreamed
Came true in the letter

Now the nights are cold and the wine is bitter
Let this body end
When all that was beautiful
Only dreamt of the heart

Dreams consume youth, soul, and body
