Translation of the song lyrics Davne Kiše - Arsen Dedic

Davne Kiše (original)

Moj prijatelj je umro
Da, umro je moj brat
Znam, to je bilo davno
Znam da je bio rat
Ja ne znam gdje ni kada
No kad se veče sprema
Znam da ga više nema
Znam da ga više nema
I ustima od mulja
Od mraka i od sjene
U strahu što se šulja
On spava mjesto mene
Ja čujem gdje se budi
U noći njegov glas
A dani kao ludi
Ruše se oko nas
Još uvijek zemlja drhti
Još uvijek k’o i prije
A blijedo lice smrti
I pored mene bdije
Sad negdje mirno spava
Od zemlje i od blata
A mjesto žene trava
Grli ga oko vrata
Moj prijatelj je umro
Da, umro je moj brat
Znam, to je bilo davno
Znam da je bio rat
I ne znam zašto sada
Dok liju davne kiše
Još uvijek na me pada
To čega nema više
To čega nema više
Iz tame ruke pruža
I čujem kako diše
U vrtu neka ruža
Moj prijatelj je umro
Da, umro je moj brat
To nije bilo davno
Još uvijek traje rat

Davne Kiše (translation)

My friend died
Yes, my brother died
I know, that was a long time ago
I know it was a war
I don't know where or when
But when it is ready
I know he's gone
I know he's gone
And a mouth of mud
From the darkness and from the shadows
In fear of sneaking up
He sleeps instead of me
I hear where he wakes up
At night his voice
And the days like crazy
They are collapsing around us
The earth is still trembling
Still as before
And the pale face of death
And he watches over me
He is sleeping peacefully somewhere now
From earth and mud
And the woman's place is grass
Hug him around the neck
My friend died
Yes, my brother died
I know, that was a long time ago
I know it was a war
And I don't know why now
While the old rains are pouring
It still falls on me
That which is no more
That which is no more
Out of the dark he extends his hand
And I hear him breathing
Some rose in the garden
My friend died
Yes, my brother died
That wasn't long ago
The war is still going on
