Translation of the song lyrics Neću Izdat Ja - Thompson

Neću Izdat Ja (original)

Kao stjena
što se neda
žegama divljim, olujama
i ja nikad ne dam se
kroz stvarnost lutam.
život moj je
poput hladne rijeke
beskrajan i vijuga se
iz nekog razloga ne znam
negdje ipak nestaje ohh
negdje ipak nestaje
Nisam sudac a ni mudrac
teško nosim to kamenje
tobre me sjećanja
na svojim leđima
gdje god dođem
kud god prođem
već je netko odlučio
u ime onoga
što nas je stvorio
a nije se borio
neću izdat ja
Boga nikada
neću gast' sunce koje s neba sja
neću zbog tebe
rukom na sebe
jer ti me voliš i ti se moliš
za mene
heeeheej
Neću izdat ja
Boga nikada
neću gasit' sunce koje s neba sja
neću zbog tebe
rukom na sebe
jer ti me voliš i ti se moliš
za mene
Neću izdat ja
Boga nikada
neću gasit' sunce koje s neba sja
neću zbog tebe
rukom na sebe
jer ti me voliš i ti se moliš
za mene
neću izdat ja
Boga nikada
neću gasit' sunce koje s neba sja

Neću Izdat Ja (translation)

Like a granite monolith,
unyielding to the world’s desire,
to the wild kiln of burning winds, to the tempests’ ire,
so too I, never broken,
wander the labyrinth of what is real.
My life—
is a river, winter-fed and steel-cold,
endless, winding into shadowed bends,
for some secret cause I cannot name,
yet somewhere, always, it is lost to mist… ohh
somewhere, always, it is lost to mist.
I am no judge, nor oracle,
these stones of memory I bear are heavy,
my satchel filled with echoes,
borne across my shoulders’ weary span.
Wherever I arrive,
wherever my footsteps stray,
some fate has long since cast its die,
in the name of Him,
the one who shaped us from the dust,
but never waged our wars.
Never shall I betray,
never the God who called me forth,
never shall I snuff the sun that pours from sky’s blue chalice,
not for your sake,
nor turn my hand against myself,
for you, beloved, love me still, and pray
softly for my soul.
heeeheej
Never shall I betray,
never the God who called me forth,
never shall I quench the sun ablaze in heaven’s dome,
not for your sake,
nor turn my hand against myself,
for you, beloved, love me still, and pray
softly for my soul.
Never shall I betray,
never the God who called me forth,
never shall I quench the sun ablaze in heaven’s dome,
not for your sake,
nor turn my hand against myself,
for you, beloved, love me still, and pray
softly for my soul.
Never shall I betray,
never the God who called me forth,
never shall I quench the sun ablaze in heaven’s dome
