Текст и перевод песни Dražen Zečić - Da sam znao što je život

Da sam znao što je život

Nema te, dugo već
Kako mi ne dolaziš
Samo stazom moga srca
Prolaziš
Uzalud, postari
Na vrata mi kucaju
Jer i oni, kao i ja
Dugo te ne viđaju
REF.
Da sam znao što je život
Davno bi ga odreko se
Jer od mene sretniji su
I prosjaci koji prose
Da sam znao što je ljubav
Zavolio nikad ne bi'
Mati mi je život dala
Ona meni, a ja tebi

If Only I Knew What Life Is

Where are you? It's been so long
Why won't you come to me?
Across the pathway of my heart
You pass
In vain, old age
Knocks upon my door
For they too, like me
Haven't seen you for so long
REF.
If only I knew what life is
I would have long since rejected it
For more fortunate are than I
Even the beggars who beg
If only I knew what love is
I would never have loved
My mother gave me life
She to me, and I to you
