Paroles et traduction Krunoslav-Kićo Slabinac - Zbog Jedne Divne Crne Žene

Zbog Jedne Divne Crne Žene

Ja gledao sam sunce na istoku
Kako se budi
I gledao sam oblake i jutro
U tisucu boja

Sklapao oci od bola
I skrivao suze
A ona je ostala tamo
Daleko u noci

Zbog jedne divne crne zene
Zbog njene divne crne kose
Zbog jednog pogleda tuznog u noci
Zbog obecanja, da ce mi doci
Tuzan i sam, cekam je ja

Daleko me nosila ptica srebrnih krila
U zemlju u kojoj je nekad i ona bila
Toliko sam zelio srecu i ljubav bez kraja
Al' zivot me odnio dalje daleko od nje

Because of a Beautiful Black Woman

I watched the sun rising in the east
How it awakens
And I watched the clouds and the morning
In a thousand colors

I closed my eyes from the pain
And hid my tears
But she stayed there
Far away in the night

Because of a beautiful black woman
Because of her beautiful black hair
Because of a sad look at night
Because of the promises she made to come to me
Sad and alone, I wait for her

A bird with silver wings carried me far away
To the land where she once was
I so much desired happiness and endless love
But life has taken me far away from her
