Translation of the song lyrics Oprosti Mi - Arsen Dedic

Oprosti Mi (original)

I ako jednog dana, u kasne sate,
Opet otmem te iz sna,
Kad jedva poznaš - čovjek ili vjetar —
Otvori, draga — to sam ja.
Ne pitaj, ništa ti neću reći,
Stare nježnosti samo daj,
Postelju istu i isto vino,
Kao početak nek je kraj.
Sad sam tu, sad mi oprosti
Sve što znaš i što nisi znala,
Ovaj svijet ti si mi dala
I malo tog sam birao sam.
I ako ikad, dok more ludi,
Trebam odmora, trebam sna,
Na stara vrata kucat ću dugo —
Otvori, majko, to sam ja…

Oprosti Mi (translation)

And if one day, in the late hours,
I snatch you from sleep again,
When you barely know - man or wind -
Open up, darling - it's me.
Don't ask, I won't tell you anything,
Just give the old tenderness,
The same bed and the same wine,
Let the end be the beginning.
I'm here now, forgive me now
Everything you know and didn't know,
You gave me this world
And I chose a little bit of that myself.
And if ever, while the sea is crazy,
I need rest, I need sleep,
I will knock on the old door for a long time -
Open up, mother, it's me…
