Lyrics and translation Zdravko Čolić - Noć Mi Te Duguje

Noć Mi Te Duguje

Dolazi noc, gasi se dan,
A nocu sve se cuje
I svaka pjesma truje,
Noc mi te duguje.
Nocni sam covjek,
Nocas i dovjek... zbog tebe.
A sad za sve, cigana dva
Jedan da zivot psuje,
Drugi da povjeruje,
Noc mi te duguje.
Takav sam covjek,
Nocas i dovjek... zbog tebe.
Zbog tebe kucacu, lupacu ljudima na vrata,
Budicu ulicu, pjevacu svima iz inata.
Recice: "Opet je popio,
Vidi ga kako se ubio,
Opet je vrata poljubio."
A ja pijan, a nisam popio
Ni kapi neka se cuje,
Ni kapi ko da mi vjeruje?
A jesam ja rusvaj pravio,
Pravio, evo ga, tu je,
Jesam, jer noc mi te duguje.

The Night Owes You to Me

Night comes, day fades,
And all night long you can hear,
Every song torments me,
The night owes you to me.
I am a creature of the night,
Tonight and forever... because of you.
So now, for everything, two gypsies
One who curses life,
The other who believes,
The night owes you to me.
I am that kind of man,
Tonight and forever... because of you.
Because of you I'll knock on people's doors,
I'll wake up the streets, I'll sing to everyone out of spite.
They'll say: "He's drunk again,
Look at him, he's killed himself,
He's kissed the door again."
But I'm drunk, but I haven't drunk
A drop, so that everyone can hear,
Not a drop, as if someone believes me?
But I have made a disgrace of myself,
I have, look here, here it is,
I have, because the night owes you to me.
