Translation of the song lyrics Vrijeme Je Rijeka Bez Obala - Arsen Dedic

Vrijeme Je Rijeka Bez Obala (original)

Htjeli smo ga zadržati
Živote smo mu nudili
U vremenu smo se ipak izgubili
Htjeli smo ga pobijediti
Dobivali smo i gubili
Sad ne znam da li smo ikad ikoga ljubili
Vrijeme je rijeka bez obala
Nemirna, hladna, čista
Vrijeme je rijeka bez obala
Bez kraja, bez pristaništa
Vrijeme je rijeka bez obala
Na putu do gubilišta
Preda mnom opet voda
A iza mene ništa
I koliko će ostati
Od tebe, od mene
Da li smo stvarni ljudi ili sjene?
Htjeli smo ga pobijediti
Dobivali smo i gubili
Sad ne znam da li smo ikad ikoga ljubili
Vrijeme je rijeka bez obala
Nemirna, hladna, čista
Vrijeme je rijeka bez obala
Bez kraja, bez pristaništa
Vrijeme je rijeka bez obala
Na putu do gubilišta
Preda mnom opet voda
A iza mene ništa

Vrijeme Je Rijeka Bez Obala (translation)

We wanted to keep him
We offered his lives
We got lost in time though
We wanted to beat him
We won and we lost
Now I don’t know if we’ve ever loved anyone
Time is a river without banks
Restless, cold, clean
Time is a river without banks
No end, no docks
Time is a river without banks
On the way to the execution site
Water in front of me again
And nothing behind me
And how long he will stay
From you, from me
Are we real people or shadows?
We wanted to beat him
We won and we lost
Now I don’t know if we’ve ever loved anyone
Time is a river without banks
Restless, cold, clean
Time is a river without banks
No end, no docks
Time is a river without banks
On the way to the execution site
Water in front of me again
And nothing behind me
