Paroles et traduction Mi2 - Stara duša

Stara duša

Hodil po zemlji je naši in pil nje prelesti,
Iskal je zavetje pod streho dobrih ljudi.
Z njimi podajal bi hleb, nagibal iz čaše,
Ki hrepenenje z veseljem na pol si deli.

Mladi duši se okušati mudi...

Zdaj plazi po grudi
Se blatni s trto bolesti,
Ponižan,
Izdan od pohlepa obran do kosti,
Proč od krdela volkov,
Ki se kolje med sabo,
Hlapec Jernej za prežitek se več ne bori.

Kar je hotel, kar je upal, kar verjel.
Vse prehitel, vse zamudil, zaman želel.

Stara duša, ki posluša svoj nemir,
Stara duša, ki poskuša na špancir,
Duša stara, ki brez para se vrti,
Duša stara, ki ne mara, da se jo duši.

Obrača strani prašne knjige,
Kratkih povesti,
Starih ljubezni, prijateljev, ki so odšli,
Vošči jim miren sen, sreče junaške obilo,
Naj se nihče več ničesar ne boji.

Kar je videl, kar občutil, kar dojel.
Vse prežvečil, vse pogoltnil, preživel.

Stara duša, ki posluša svoj nemir,
Stara duša, ki poskuša na špancir,
Duša stara, ki brez para se vrti,
Duša stara, ki ne mara, da se jo duši.

Stara duša, ki posluša svoj nemir,
Stara duša, ki poskuša na špancir,
Duša stara, ki brez para se vrtiš,
Duša stara, ki ne mara, da se jo duši.

Stara duša, ki gre sama na špancir.

Ancient Soul

He walked on our earth and drank its delights,
He sought shelter under the roof of good people.
With them he would share bread and tip the goblet,
Who yearns for joy to be shared in half.

A young soul is eager to experience...

Now he crawls on his chest
In the viscous sludge of disease,
Humbled,
Betrayed by greed, robbed to the bone,
Away from the pack of wolves
Who tear each other apart,
Jernej the serf no longer fights for survival.

All he wanted, all the hoped for, all he believed in.
All overtaken, all missed, all desired in vain.

Old soul who listens to his unrest,
Old soul who tries to take a walk,
Old soul who wanders without a penny,
Old soul who dislikes being suffocated.

He turns the pages of dusty books,
Of short stories,
Of old loves, of friends who are gone,
He wishes them peaceful dreams, a hero's share of happiness,
May no one ever fear again.

All he saw, all he felt, all he understood.
All chewed, all swallowed, all survived.

Old soul who listens to his unrest,
Old soul who tries to take a walk,
Old soul who wanders without a penny,
Old soul who dislikes being suffocated.

Old soul who listens to his unrest,
Old soul who tries to take a walk,
Old soul who wanders without a penny,
Old soul who dislikes being suffocated.

Old soul who walks by himself.
