Paroles et traduction Đorđe Balašević - Prva Ljubav

Prva Ljubav

Tad još nisam ništa znao
I još nisam verovao
Da na svetu tuge ima
Jedino mi važno bilo
Da postanem levo krilo
Il' centarfor školskog tima
Tad' sam iznenada sreo
Najtoplijeg leta deo
To su njene oći bile
Imala je kose plave
I u njima na vrh glave
Belu mašnicu od svile
Prva je ljubav došla tiho
Nezvana, sama
Za sva vremena skrila se
Tu negde duboko u nama
Kad je prošlo đaćko vreme
Padeži i teoreme
I stripovi ispod klupe
Nije više bila klinka
Počela je da se šminka
I da želi stvari skupe
Tako mi je svakog dana
Bivala sve više strana
Slutio sam sta nas čeka
Pa sam prestao da brinem
Kako da joj zvezde skinem
Postala mi je daleka
Prva je ljubav došla tiho
Nezvana, sama
Za sva vremena skrila se
Tu negde duboko u nama
Danas je na sedmom nebu
Kažu mi da čeka bebu
Našla je sigurnu sreću, dom
Ima muža inžinjera
Pred kojim je karijera
I mesto u društvu visokom
Ja još kradem dane Bogu
Ja još umem, ja još mogu
Da sam sebi stvorim neki mir
Još sam sretan što postojim
Pišem pesme, zvezde brojim
Još sam onaj isti vetropir
Prva je ljubav došla tiho
Nezvana, sama
Za sva vremena skrila se
Tu negde duboko u nama
Još sam sretan što postojim
Pišem pesme, zvezde brojim
Još sam onaj isti vetropir
Ja još kradem dane Bogu
Ja još umem, ja još mogu
Da sam sebi stvorim neki mir
Još sam sretan što postojim
Pišem pesme, zvezde brojim
Još sam onaj isti vetropir

First Love

Then I still couldn't understand
And I didn't yet believe
That sadness exists in the world
The only important thing to me was
To become a left winger
Or the center-forward of the school football team
Then suddenly I met
The warmest part of the summer
They were the eyes of her
She had blond hair
And in it, on the top of her head
A white silk bow
First love came quietly
Unbidden, alone
Forever hidden
Somewhere deep within us
When my school days were over
Cases and theorems
And comics under the desk
She was no longer a child
She began to put on make-up
And to desire expensive things
So she became more and more of a stranger to me
Every day
I suspected what was waiting for us
So I stopped worrying
How could I bring down the stars for her?
She became distant to me
First love came quietly
Unbidden, alone
Forever hidden
Somewhere deep within us
Today she is in seventh heaven
They tell me she is expecting a baby
She found safe happiness, a secure home
She has a husband, an engineer
With a great career ahead of him
And a high place in society
I still steal days from God
I can still do it, I am still able
To create some peace for myself
I am still happy to exist
I write poems, I count the stars
I am still the same old wind-bender
First love came quietly
Unbidden, alone
Forever hidden
Somewhere deep within us
I am still happy to exist
I write poems, I count the stars
I am still the same old wind-bender
I still steal days from God
I can still do it, I am still able
To create some peace for myself
I am still happy to exist
I write poems, I count the stars
I am still the same old wind-bender
