Translation of the song lyrics Mala Pjesma - Arsen Dedic

Mala Pjesma (original)

Ja ti pišem male pjesme
Za te duge, kasne sate
Da tvom licu osmijeh vrate
Kad ih slušaš sama prije sna…
Aha !
U njima je malo tuge
Niti radost nije veća
Tek da tješi, da te sjeća
To što noćas poklanjam ti ja…
Aha !
Mislio sam, od davnine
Prave pjesme čuda čine —
Sada znam
Sada znam
Sada znam…
Pa ti pišem male pjesme
Da ti skrate sate kiše
Što bi pjesma mogla više
Osim malo nade da ti da…
Aha !
Mislio sam, usred plača
Mislio sam, riječ je jača —
Sada znam
Sada znam
Sada znam…
Pa ti pišem male pjesme
Da ti skrate sate kiše
Što bi pjesma mogla više
Osim malo nade da ti da…
Aha !

Mala Pjesma (translation)

I write you little poems
For those long, late hours
To put a smile back on your face
When you listen to them alone before sleep...
Aha!
There is a little sadness in them
Nor is the joy greater
Only to comfort, to remember you
What I'm giving you tonight...
Aha!
I thought, from time immemorial
Real miracle songs make —
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know…
Well, I'm writing you little poems
To shorten the hours of rain
What a song could do more
Except for a little hope that you…
Aha!
I thought, in the middle of crying
I thought the word was stronger—
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know…
Well, I'm writing you little poems
To shorten the hours of rain
What a song could do more
Except for a little hope that you…
Aha!
