Lyrics of Odrastanje - Elemental

Odrastanje (original)

Stajali smo jedni do drugih
Ponosno nasmiješenih lica
Dok smo primali maturalnu svjedodžbu od profesorica
Zadnji dan valjda da smo svi stajali skupa
Zadnji dan da smo bili ekipa
Škvadra, trupa
Izgleda ko jučer a kolko godina već prošlo je
U sjeni da ne primijetiš potiho samo nestaje
Sva veza među nama
Greška il' defekt?
Riječ prijateljstvo iz prezenta ode u perfekt
Imamo se rad
Al nemamo se baš
Danas brijemo svoj film, ne postoji onaj naš
Dal smo bili mladi naivni il' smo već tad kalkulirali
Neki su zaposlili se
Neki diplomirali
Neki su i danas još ostali djeca
Nekima se rodila djeca
Svi smo svojim putem pošli
Neki stali na po puta
Neki došli — stigli tu di su sad
Neki su napustili svoj grad
Vratit se ne možemo a i da možemo kako bi
Kad promijenili smo puteve ko kolosjeke vlakovi
Jednom u životu ekipa se naglo rastaje
Valjda to zovu odrastanje
Koliko toga je stalo sad među nas…
Kol’ko promijenili smo se
Dal smo drukčiji danas
Koliko stvari nas dijeli i razvaja…
Kako i kad se dogodila promjena
Kažu da mijenjam se
Kažu «Nek', to dobro je!»
Kažu svi su to već prošli sve
I nekad teško je
Da teško je…
Kažu da ne bojim se
Kažu al to ne tješi me
Kao, njima sve to lako je
Dižem srednjak svijete — rađe ostajem dijete
Kad se sretnemo nešto nas vraća nazad
Al šta's sad kad previše stvari se već promijenilo
Pa ajd sad ti pričaj o nečemu
Nađi zajedničku temu
Postalo je preteško pričat o bilo čemu
Sjetiš se bivšeg razreda
Lica, imena
Al grozno je kad ne možeš se sjetit svačijeg prezimena
Vidimo se rijetko pa sječanje lako blijedi
Školskoj ploči i kredi nema traga više
Sjedi svatko sam u životu
Razred više nas ne veže
I preživljavat je danas izgleda puno teže
Skupimo se svi jednom na godišnjici mature
Vrijeme stane i drago nam je opet vidjet bivše cure
Još su lijepe
Izgledamo isti samo smo stariji
Mirniji smo, ozbiljniji
Nismo skloni pizdariji ko nekad
Ko da s godinama pomalo smo otupili
Izgubili onu oštrinu
Smirili se, zaljubili
Počeli mislit samo na sebe
Sazrijeli onog dana kad su nas počeli oslovljavat sa «vi»
Sve se promijenilo al nije sad da mi nedostaje
To je sve samo odrastanje
Kažu da mijenjam se
Kažu «Nek', to dobro je!»
Kažu svi su to već prošli sve
I nekad teško je
Da teško je…
Kažu da ne bojim se
Kažu al to ne tješi me
Kao, njima sve to lako je
Dižem srednjak svijete — rađe ostajem dijete

(translation)

We stood next to each other
Proudly smiling faces
While we were receiving our graduation certificate from the professors
The last day I guess we all stood together
The last day we were a team
Squadron, troop
It looks like yesterday and how many years have passed
In the shadow of not noticing quietly it just disappears
All the connection between us
Error or defect?
The word friendship from the present goes to perfect
We love each other
But we don't really have each other
Today we shave our film, there is no one of ours
Were we young naive or did we already calculate then
Some got hired
Some graduated
Some are still children today
Some had children
We all went our separate ways
Some stopped by
Some came - they arrived where they are now
Some left their city
We can't go back and we can
When we changed paths like trains trains
Once in a lifetime, the team breaks up abruptly
I guess they call it growing up
How much does it matter to us now…
How much we have changed
We are different today
How many things divide and pamper us…
How and when the change occurred
They say I'm changing
They say, "Come on, that's good!"
They say everyone has been through it all
And sometimes it's hard
Yes it's hard…
They say I'm not afraid
They say but that doesn't comfort me
Like, it's easy for them
I'm raising the middle of the world - I'd rather stay a child
When we meet something brings us back
But what now that too many things have already changed
So now you talk about something
Find a common theme
It became too difficult to talk about anything
You remember the former class
Faces, names
But it's awful when you can't remember everyone's last name
We rarely see each other, so the memory fades easily
There is no trace of the school board and chalk anymore
Everyone sits alone in life
The class no longer binds us
And surviving it today seems a lot harder
Let's all get together once on graduation anniversary
Time stands still and we are glad to see the ex-girlfriends again
They are still beautiful
We look the same only we are older
We are calmer, more serious
We're not as prone to pranks as we used to be
It's as if we've become a little numb over the years
They lost that sharpness
They calmed down, fell in love
They started thinking only of themselves
Matured the day they started calling us "you"
Everything has changed but I don't miss it now
It's all just growing up
They say I'm changing
They say, "Come on, that's good!"
They say everyone has been through it all
And sometimes it's hard
Yes it's hard…
They say I'm not afraid
They say but that doesn't comfort me
Like, it's easy for them
I'm raising the middle of the world - I'd rather stay a child
