Translation of the song lyrics Politika I Ljubav - Arsen Dedic, Arsen Dedić, Prof. Bula, Prof. Bula

Politika I Ljubav (original)

Vrijeme ni rata niti mira
Budućnost nejasna i burna
Politika se u sve dira
Ni ljubav nije sigurna
Politika joj rasti ne da
A ljubav plaha kao dijete
Tek začuđena gleda, gleda
Kako se mreža plete
Oh, ovaj neveseli kuplet
Mudrost iz usta zabavljača
Al' njemu čini se opet
Da ljubav mora biti jača
Politika žrtve ne bira
Slijedeći tko je, tko će znati
Al' vrag mi opet ne da mira
Ljubav joj može na put stati
Oh, ovaj neveseli kuplet
Mudrost iz usta zabavljača
Al' njemu čini se opet
Da ljubav mora biti jača
Vrijeme ni rata niti mira
Budućnost klasna ili rasna
Smrt posvuda već ordinira
A ljubav — sumnjiva, bezglasna

Politika I Ljubav (translation)

A time of neither war nor peace
The future is unclear and turbulent
Politics touches everything
Love is not safe either
Politics does not allow her to grow
And love is timid as a child
She just stares in amazement, watching
How the net is woven
Oh, this gloomy couplet
Wisdom from the mouth of an entertainer
But it seems to him again
That love must be stronger
Victim politics does not choose
Next who is, who will know
But the devil does not give me peace again
Love can stand in her way
Oh, this gloomy couplet
Wisdom from the mouth of an entertainer
But it seems to him again
That love must be stronger
A time of neither war nor peace
The future is class or racial
Death is already ordaining everywhere
And love - doubtful, voiceless
