Paroles et traduction Jacques Houdek - Zid

Zid

K'o vjetrovi ladu kad slome
Bas tako su drugi slomili nas
Al' više ne pricam o tome
Drzim se mraka, tu mi je spas

Jer moja sreca se bijeli
K'o biser i ostavlja trag
Kao plijen sa strahom u grudima
Prate ju zvijeri,
Al' nije u zvijerima vrag
Tako crn kao u ljudima

I sada znas, kada drugi ti zavide
I krene laz, kao voda sto navire
Tisuce snova ti razbije negdje o hrid
To visok podigne zid pred tobom

Mjesec je svjetlo na vodi
Dusi u bijegu jedina luc
Ma kud' bas se najljepsa rodi
Tamo gdje zelju bacam pod kljuc?

The Wall

When the winds break the ships
That's how the others broke us in half
But I don't talk about it anymore
I hold on to the darkness, that's my salvation

Because my happiness whitens
Like a pearl, leaving a mark
Like a prey with fear in its chest
The beasts follow it,
But the devil is not in the beasts
As black as it is in people

And now you know, when others envy you
And a lie begins, like water that flows
Thousands of dreams break you somewhere on a cliff
That raises a high wall before you

The moon is a light on the water
It's the only light in my hasty escape
But where the most beautiful is born
Where do I cast my wish under lock and key?
