Paroles et traduction Saša Kovačević - Ornament

Ornament

Jos uvek nosim znak

Onaj fini tanki ornament

Sto si meni dala

Kad je citav svet
Ispod mene bio

I kad sam krio

Nerazumljiv strah
Sto ga dusa oseca
Filigranske niti
Na komadu brusenog metala
Sto si meni dala
Kao da si znala
Da uvek urezan
Jedan dan
Da na tebe vecno podseca
Ako se probudis (sad)
Dok se jutro hvata
Ako me naslutis
Da sam tu
Ispred tvojih vrata
Jos uvek nosim znak
Samo ovo oko vrata
Krvavu suzu rubina
Na tankom obrucu od zlata
Ko zna koji sedativ
Da utisa sve oluje moje
I ovako nisam ziv
Izgubio sam boje
Na pramcu broda
Ulila se voda
I svi dani pokisli
Ako se probudis (sad)
Dok se jutro hvata
Ako me naslutis
Da sam tu
Ispred tvojih vrata
Jos uvek nosim znak
Samo ovo, oko vrata
Krvavu suzu rubina
Na tankom obrucu od zlata
Jos uvek nosim znak
Onaj fini, tanki ornament
Filigranske niti brusenog metala
Kao da si znala
Da ce jedan dan
Biti vecno urezan.

Ornament

I still wear the token

That fine, thin ornament

That you gave me

When the whole world
Was below me

And when I hid

The incomprehensible fear
That the soul feels
Filigree threads
On a piece of polished metal
That you gave me
As if you knew
That it would be engraved forever
One day
That it would eternally remind me of you
If you should awaken (now)
As the morning approaches
If you should sense me
That I am here
In front of your door
I still wear the token
Just this around my neck
A bloody tear of ruby
On a thin ring of gold
Who knows what sedative
To calm all my storms
And I am not alive this way
I’ve lost my colors
On the ship’s bow
Water has poured in
And all the days have been drenched
If you should awaken (now)
As the morning approaches
If you should sense me
That I am here
In front of your door
I still wear the token
Just this, around my neck
A bloody tear of ruby
On a thin ring of gold
I still wear the token
That fine, thin ornament
Filigree threads of polished metal
As if you knew
That one day
It would be forever engraved.
