Lyrics of Pored Mene - Arsen Dedic

Pored Mene (original)

U postelji još pored mene bdije
Pokriven mrakom kao brod u luci
Tvoj život u kom uplašeno bije
I moje srce kao sat na ruci
Sa prijestolja se na nas Sljeme ruši
I stiže sve do groblja iznad grada
A kiša kupa bol u mojoj duši
I skuplja se kraj posljednjih arkada
Ti ne znaš kamo gubeći se ide
Taj put na kome nema putokaza
I tvoje oči zamagljene vide
U kapi kiše krhotinu mraza
Još kao pseto uza me je nada
S njom i ja vičem da ćemo se sresti
No Sava gasi svjetlo moga grada
I ostavlja me samoga na cesti
Ja ništa ne znam o svome životu
Ni ko me vodi ni što da se radi
I pamtim samo neku anegdotu
O ljubavi i nevolji i nadi
Moj um od snova, slova i papira
Još čuva slogove i rime
A ti, kad čuješ zvuke glasovira
Hoćeš li znati kako mi je ime

(translation)

He is still watching in bed next to me
Covered in darkness like a ship in port
Your life in which he beats scared
And my heart like a watch on my hand
From the throne, Sljeme falls on us
And it reaches all the way to the cemetery above the city
And the rain bathes the pain in my soul
And the end of the last arcades is gathering
You don't know where to get lost
That road on which there are no signposts
And your eyes blurred see
In the raindrops a crumb of frost
Even as a dog, hope is with me
I shout with her that we will meet
But Sava turns off the light of my city
And he leaves me alone on the road
I know nothing about my life
No one is leading me or anything to do
And I only remember an anecdote
About love and trouble and hope
My mind of dreams, letters and paper
He still keeps syllables and rhymes
And you, when you hear the sounds of the piano
Do you want to know my name?
