Translation of the song lyrics Neke Stare Žene - Arsen Dedic

Neke Stare Žene (original)

Na kraju života, neke stare žene
Žive mjesto tebe, žive mjesto mene
Sve što nisu mogle, sve što nisu znale
Na lomaču nose, na lomači pale
Po klupama parka ljubavnike love
I svoj poraz nude za njihove snove
Za te što se vole, za te što se ljube
Znaju samo riječi umorne i grube
A kome to treba i zašto to rade?
Neke od njih nikad nisu bile mlade
Melju svoje dane zubima od zlata
Zureći u tuđe prozore i vrata
Davno je to bilo i ne zna se više
Kakve riječi ljubav na postelji piše
Nikad neće znati stojeći na straži
Što to moja ruka na tvom tijelu traži
Ni zašto te trebam sada tu u tami
Ni zašto smo skupa, ni zašto smo sami
Ni kamo će pasti, dok sva zvona zvone
Taj brod što se ljulja, ta lađa što tone

Neke Stare Žene (translation)

At the end of life, some old women
They live in your place, they live in my place
Everything they couldn't, everything they didn't know
On the bonfire they carry, on the bonfire they burn
Lovers hunt on the park benches
And they offer their defeat for their dreams
For those who love each other, for those who love each other
They only know the words tired and rude
And who needs it and why do they do it?
Some of them were never young
They grind their days with gold teeth
Staring at other people's windows and doors
It was a long time ago and it is not known anymore
What words love writes on the bed
He will never know standing guard
What is my hand on your body looking for
Not why I need you here in the dark now
Neither why we are together, nor why we are alone
It will not fall anywhere, while all the bells are ringing
That ship rocking, that ship sinking
