Paroles et traduction Oliver Dragojević - Prije Sna

Prije Sna

Negdje tamo na onoj kuci
Negdje do ceste prozor treci
Takvom ceznjom gledao sam
Da ne mogu rijecima reci

Jedan okvir i komad stakla
Bio je cijeli moj svemir
Samo rukom si me takla
I od tada moj si nemir

Da poklonis najljepsi cvijet
I dragog kamena sjaj
Ja bih ga mijenjao
Za tvoj zagrljaj

Kad poklonis otrovni trn
Iz ruke ga uzimam ja
Samo da osjetim
Tebe prije sna

Negdje tamo na onoj kuci
Negdje do ceste prozor treci
Tamo vjeciti je izvor
Mojoj zalosti i sreci

Before the Dream

Somewhere on that house
Near the road, the third window
I looked with such longing
That I cannot express it with words

A frame and a piece of glass
Were my entire universe
You only touched my hand
And since then you are my restlessness

If you gave me the most beautiful flower
And the shine of a precious stone
I would exchange it
For your embrace

If you gave me a poisonous thorn
I would take it from your hand
Just to feel
You before sleep

Somewhere on that house
Near the road, the third window
There is the eternal source
Of my sorrow and happiness
