Paroles et traduction Dražen Zečić - Da mi daju carstvo

Da mi daju carstvo

Da mi daju carstvo
I svite i straže
Rekao bih "Ne"
Nek mi nju potraže
Da mi daju dvore
I da ih pozlate
Rekao bih "Ne"
Neka nju mi vrate
I najbolje mjesto
Ponude u raju
Rekao bih prvo
Neka nju mi daju
REF.
Sad bi dao sve dragulje
Srce ispod te košulje
Što oduvijek bilo je njen stan
Jer mi ovaj život ode
Kuda li me zvijezde vode
Bila mi je jedino što znam
Kad bih mogo sve to vratit
I životom svojim platit
Da je vidim tek na jedan tren
I dodirnem usne tople
Samog sebe kaznim opet
To što nisam znao biti njen
Da mi daju carstvo
I svite i straže
Rekao bih "Ne"
Nek mi nju potraže
Da mi daju dvore
I da ih pozlate
Rekao bih "Ne"
Neka nju mi vrate
I najbolje mjesto
Ponude u raju
Rekao bih prvo
Neka nju mi daju
REF.

If I Could Get an Empire

If they gave me an empire
And retinues and guards
I would say "No"
May they seek her for me
If they gave me palaces
Gilded and plated with gold
I would say "No"
May they bring her back
If they offered me the best seat
In paradise
I would say first
May they give her to me
REF.
Now I would give all the jewels
The heart beneath that bodice
Which has always been her dwelling place
For this life of mine is gone
Where are the stars leading me
She was all that I know
If I could give it all back
And pay with my own life
To see her for just one moment
And touch her warm lips
I punish myself again
For not knowing how to be hers
If they gave me an empire
And retinues and guards
I would say "No"
May they seek her for me
If they gave me palaces
Gilded and plated with gold
I would say "No"
May they bring her back
If they offered me the best seat
In paradise
I would say first
May they give her to me
REF.
