Paroles et traduction Toše Proeski - Žena balkanska

Žena balkanska

Tražim na tom licu osmijeh
Odavno ga tuga mori
Saznala je šta je život
Suze stale i ne govori
Ubile je noći hladne
Tople reči ne poznaje
Sad u sebi sve se kaje
Sad bi da joj život traje
Uzalud je da se kaje
Sve što kaže, istina je
I da život ide dalje
Kako živim, navikla je
Svaki korak, okus gorak
U četiri zida osmijeh skriva
Nekom′ da bi sluga bila
Slomila je svoja krila
Pobjegla bi, al' strah je
Sav svoj život njemu dade
Uzalud joj mahom dane
Sve četiri svijeta strane
Mislila je sutra da će
Vrijeme, reći moć′ da staće
Sad u sebi sve se kaje
Sad bi da joj život traje
Eden život tajna e
Ova Balkan, Balkan e
Edna žena tazna e
Edna silna žena

Balkan Woman

I search for a smile on that face
Sorrow has tormented it for so long
She has learned what life is
Tears have stopped and she doesn't speak
Cold nights have killed her
She knows no warm words
Now she regrets everything in herself
Now she would like her life to continue
It is useless for her to regret
All that she says is true
And that life goes on
She has grown accustomed to living as I do
Every step is a bitter taste
She hides her smile within four walls
To be a servant to someone
She has broken her own wings
She would run away, but she is afraid
She has given her whole life to him
The days wave to her in vain
All four corners of the world
She thought that tomorrow
Time would say that it could stop
Now she regrets everything in herself
Now she would like her life to continue
One life is a secret
This Balkan, Balkan
One sad woman
One strong woman
