Translation of the song lyrics Lete Ptice, Lete Avioni - Boris Novkovic

Lete Ptice, Lete Avioni (original)

Ref
Lete ptice, lete avioni
A zivota jure kamioni
Moja dusa pjeske sama
Boja joj je blaga tama
Sva od pjesme ona pijana
U meni je tuga zaspala
Ja sam rodjen izmedju dva rata
Izmedju asfalta i blata
Na raskrscu mnogih zelja
Sto zalosti, kap veselja
I sudbina sva od kamena
U meni je tuga zaspala
Kad bi covjek barem im’o krila
Cijelo nebo kuca bi mu bila
A ne ova od besmisla
I sa svih me strana stisla
Blentava od jada logika
U meni je tuga zaspala
Ref
Lete ptice, lete avioni
A zivota jure kamioni
Od saznanja muka dodje
Al' sto dodje to i prodje
Nada mi se uzaludila
U meni je tuga zaspala
U meni je tuga zaspala 2x
Da Bog da se ne probudila

Lete Ptice, Lete Avioni (translation)

Ref
Birds fly, planes fly
And trucks are chasing life
My soul walks alone
Her color is a slight darkness
All of the song she's drunk
Sadness fell asleep in me
I was born between two wars
Between asphalt and mud
At the crossroads of many desires
A hundred sorrows, a drop of joy
And destiny all made of stone
Sadness fell asleep in me
If only a man had wings
The whole sky would be his house
Not this nonsense
And it squeezed me from all sides
Stupid logic of misery
Sadness fell asleep in me
Ref
Birds fly, planes fly
And trucks are chasing life
From the knowledge of torment comes
But whatever comes and goes
My hope was in vain
Sadness fell asleep in me
Sadness fell asleep in me 2x
God forbid she woke up
