Текст и перевод песни Ivo Pattiera - Lipo Si Me Svitovala Mati

Lipo Si Me Svitovala Mati

Lipo si mi znala pričat', mati
Svit je velik, život prepun zamki
A kad jednom počnu tonut' lađe
S'vatiš kako premalo je slamki

Lipe si mi znala kazat' riči
Al' ča može mladost da ukroti
Kada raste ka val bisna mora
U svoj snazi, i svojoj lipoti

Lipo si me svitovala
Ali ja te nisan sluša
Vrata sriće otvarala
Al' na druga ja san uša'
Vrata sriće otvarala
Al' na druga ja san uša'

Pa mi sada sunca fali
Pa mi fali malo smija
Moja zvizda put još traži
I još nisan ča bi tija
Moja zvizda put još traži
I još nisan ča bi tija

Lipo si mi znala pričat', mati
Cvit života samo jednom cvita
I dok trepneš, ničeg više nima
Minula su prolića i lita

Lipe si mi znala kazat' riči
I još puno dobra si mi dala
Al' već kako u životu biva
Ja ti nisan reka' niti fala

Lipo si me svitovala
Ali ja te nisan sluša
Vrata sriće otvarala
Al' na druga ja san uša'
Vrata sriće otvarala
Al' na druga ja san uša'

Pa mi sada sunca fali
Pa mi fali malo smija
Moja zvizda put još traži
I još nisan ča bi tija
Moja zvizda put još traži
I još nisan ča bi tija

How You Told Me, Mother

You were good at talking me around, mother
The world is big, life is full of traps
But when the ships start to sink
You realize how few straws there are

You were good at telling me what to say
But what can calm a youth
When he grows like a mighty wave
In all his strength and beauty

You gave me good advice
But I didn't listen to you
I opened the doors to happiness
But I came through the other side
I opened the doors to happiness
But I came through the other side

Now I lack the sun
Now I lack a little laughter
My star is still searching
And I'm not what I should be
My star is still searching
And I'm not what I should be

You were good at talking me around, mother
The flower of life blooms only once
And before you know it, nothing is left
The springs and summers have long since passed

You were good at telling me what to say
And you gave me a lot of good
But as always happens in life
I didn't say thank you or give you a wave

You gave me good advice
But I didn't listen to you
I opened the doors to happiness
But I came through the other side
I opened the doors to happiness
But I came through the other side

Now I lack the sun
Now I lack a little laughter
My star is still searching
And I'm not what I should be
My star is still searching
And I'm not what I should be
