Paroles et traduction Goran Bregovic - RUŽICA

RUŽICA

Ružica Si Bila

Ružica si bila,
Jedna u mom srcu.
Ružica si bila,
Moja!
Al nije za tebe
Divlja kupina,
Ni čovek kao ja.

Bog mi daje,
Bog mi odnosi,
Ružica si bila,
Sada više nisi.
S' vremena na vrijeme,
Kao da čujem stope,
K'o da ideš preko mog praga.
S' vremena na vrijeme,
A znam da nemam prava,
Ti nisi više moja draga.

Letjele su noćas,
Iznad moga krova,
Letjele su ptice,
Selice!
A ja sam sanjao
Tvoja koljena
I tvoje poljpće.

Bog mi daje,
Bog mi odnosi,
Ružica si bila,
Sada više nisi.
S' vremena na vrijeme,
Kao da čujem stope,
K'o da ideš preko mog praga.
S' vremena na vrijeme,
A znam da nemam prava,
Ti nisi više moja draga.

Ružica si bila,
Sada više nisi.

RUŽICA

You Were a Rose

You were a rose,
The only one in my heart.
You were a rose,
Mine!
But a wild bramble's
Not meant for you,
Nor a man like me.

God gives to me,
God takes from me,
You were a rose,
Now you're no more.
From time to time,
I hear footsteps,
As if you were crossing my doorstep.
From time to time,
But I know I have no right,
You're no longer my love.

They flew last night,
Above my roof,
They flew, the birds,
The swallows!
And I dreamt about
Your knees
And your kisses.

God gives to me,
God takes from me,
You were a rose,
Now you're no more.
From time to time,
I hear footsteps,
As if you were crossing my doorstep.
From time to time,
But I know I have no right,
You're no longer my love.

You were a rose,
Now you're no more.
