Translation of the song lyrics Ruke - Arsen Dedic

Ruke (original)

One su kao osmijeh i plač,
Desnoj je dano da nosi mač,
To je u stvari njihova bit,
Lijevoj je dano da nosi štit.
Desnoj je dano da drži pero,
Da virtuozno piše i svira,
Lijevoj je ruci dano da prati
I drži bijelu pustoš papira.
A među njima, poput vage,
Čovjek korača, čovjek diše,
Između svojeg jada i snage
Čovjek se njiše, čovjek se njiše.
One su kao osmijeh i plač,
Desnoj je dano da nosi mač,
To je u stvari njihova bit,
Lijevoj je dano da nosi štit.
Desnoj je dano da drži pero,
Da virtuozno piše i svira,
Lijevoj je ruci dano da prati
I drži bijelu pustoš papira.

Ruke (translation)

They are like a smile and a cry,
The right hand is given to carry a sword,
That's really their essence,
The left was given to wear a shield.
The right hand is given to hold the pen,
To write and play virtuously,
The left hand was given to follow
And it holds the white wasteland of paper.
And among them, like a scale,
Man walks, man breathes,
Between his misery and his strength
Man is swinging, man is swinging.
They are like a smile and a cry,
The right hand is given to carry a sword,
That's really their essence,
The left was given to wear a shield.
The right hand is given to hold the pen,
To write and play virtuously,
The left hand was given to follow
And it holds the white wasteland of paper.
