Lyrics and translation Vlado Kreslin in Šajeta - Rulet

Rulet

Imela je oči na pokojnega oca
Va njimi dobrotu, kot oganj ki bi me stepli
To vino s moje kampanje sada žejno telo sanje
Zasen ča san s tujeh žmuli pil.

Bila je kot zora ki dozori v sončen den
Kot nežan cvet ki bi ga skril v svojo dlan
Kot nekaj kar ti se zgodi
Roža ob poti, ki odnesla me je stran

Še zmeraj me skrbi
A svet vrti se ko rulet
Del mene zdaj gori
Kot stari španjulet
Moral bi vse kar imam
I se ono ča znan
Staviti na njo
Na črjeno, se na isti broj

Onisti oganj va očeh već za me ne gori
Svet se vrti, ja stojin, i samo da san znal
Ne bi me zvali vali, ni mamili tuji žmuji
Tu partidu drugačije bin igral

Valjda tako hoće Bog
Pa svaka ima nešto tvog
A parfum ki nosiš ti
Na drugemi drugačije diši

Roulette

Her eyes were like my late father's
In them, kindness, like a fire that would burn me
This wine from my campaign now quenches my thirsty body dreams
For which I drank from foreigners' glasses

She was like the dawn that ripens into a sunny day
Like a gentle flower that I would hide in my palm
Like something that happens to you
A flower by the roadside, that took me away

I'm still worried
But the world turns like a roulette wheel
Part of me is burning now
Like an old Spanish guitar
I should have put everything I had
And all that I know
Bet on her
On black, on the same number

That fire in her eyes no longer burns for me
The world turns, I stand still, and if only I had known
The waves wouldn't have called me, nor the foreigners' glasses tempted me
I would have played this game differently

Perhaps that's how God wills it
For everyone has something of yours
But the perfume you wear
Smells different on others
