Paroles et traduction Josipa Lisac - Kapetane Moj

Kapetane Moj

Već dugo me puštaš gledat' niz pučinu
I proklinjat' sreću koju more nosi
Darujuć' mu puste i besane noći
Gdje mi tuga plete svud srebro po kosi
Kapetane moj

Znam, tebi je more prva ljubav bila
A ja sam tek bljesak značila u mraku
Da bih kad se magla ispred broda digla
Ostala k'o pjena na njegovu tragu
Kapetane moj

I starim tako sama od broda do broda
U želji da te zagrlim, izljubim
Iako dobro znadem da svakim te danom
Sa brazdom broda nepovratno gubim

Al' kad se bez želja doma k meni vratiš
Toj posljednjoj luci, što te mirno čeka
Ni spaziti nećeš da uz tebe nije
Ona mlada žena, već starica neka
Kapetane moj

Iako dobro znadem da svakim te danom
Sa brazdom broda nepovratno gubim
Al' kad se bez želja doma k meni vratiš
Toj posljednjoj luci što te mirno čeka
Ni spaziti nećeš da uz tebe nije
Ona mlada žena, već starica neka
Kapetane moj

Kapetane moj
Kapetane moj

My Captain

For so long you've let me gaze out at the sea
And curse the luck that the ocean brings
Giving me empty and sleepless nights
Where sorrow weaves silver all through my hair
My Captain

I know, the sea was your first love
And I was just a flicker of light in the darkness
So that when the fog lifted from before your ship
I would remain like foam in its wake
My Captain

And so I grew old all alone, going from ship to ship
Longing to hold you close, to kiss you
Even though I knew well that with each passing day
With the furrow of your ship, I lost you irrevocably

But when you return to me, without desire, to your home
That final port that awaits you peacefully
You won't even notice that beside you is not
That young woman, but an old woman instead
My Captain

Even though I knew well that with each passing day
With the furrow of your ship, I lost you irrevocably
But when you return to me, without desire, to your home
That final port that awaits you peacefully
You won't even notice that beside you is not
That young woman, but an old woman instead
My Captain

My Captain
