Translation of the song lyrics Ljubavi Moja - Dado Polumenta

Ljubavi Moja (original)

Preda mnom sija grad, ma ko to svetla pali
Moje oči vide mrak, ona mi fali
Jedan život, jedan san, da smo bogati i mladi
Tada smo sanjali
A ja te volim i volim, voli me
Dok se bojim i gorim jer bojim se
Ovde stojim i brojim godine
Otkad te znam ja nisam sam
Ljubavi moja ma gdje si do sada
Nema te hiljadu noći i dana
Hiljadu prva ja mislim o nama
Ali daljina nas kida i slama
Ljubavi moja ja znam da si mlada
Da mi se predaš je prerano sada
Znaj da te volim i mislim o nama
I molim Boga da ostaneš sama
K’o da sam bio bez duše
Kao da sam zaključao srce u strahu od bola
Ja bio sam led, leden za sve usne neverne
Tad je u život ušla ona
Stojim sada pred tobom k’o nikada
Kiša pada, ti lepša nego ikada
Uvek si znala bez tebe nemam nikoga
Sve ti dajem ja, sve ti pripada
Ljubavi moja ma gdje si do sada
Nema te hiljadu noći i dana
Hiljadu prva ja mislim o nama
Ali daljina nas kida i slama
Ljubavi moja ja znam da si mlada
Da mi se predaš je prerano sada
Znaj da te volim i mislim o nama
I molim Boga da ostaneš sama
Molit ću Boga za nas da mi te čuva od zla
A nebo ostaje moj jedini glas
Moram da krenem to znaš, ne brini doći ću ja
Jer naš je san ti i ja i Beograd

Ljubavi Moja (translation)

Before me, the city glimmers—yet who kindles this ocean of light?
My eyes are veiled in darkness, the hush where she is absent.
One life, a solitary dream: that youth and gold would never wane—
In those pale hours, we were dreamers.
And I love you, love you—let your heart mirror mine.
While fear runs in my veins and I burn with its fire,
I stand amid the hush, counting the years like falling leaves.
Since you entered my days, loneliness is a shadow dispersed.
My love, where have you wandered, till now, in the maze of hours?
A thousand nights and dawns—your absence, a tolling bell.
A thousand and one, my thoughts return to what we are.
Yet distance rends us, its teeth tearing the fabric of us.
My love, I know the dew of youth still clings to you,
Too soon for you to surrender—spring yet unspent.
Yet know I love you, and my thought circles us like a moth.
And I beseech heaven: let solitude fold you close.
As if I were a vessel emptied of soul,
As if I had locked my heart, fearing sorrow's blade,
I was frost itself—ice for all lips that wander false.
Then she entered my life—a thaw in a world of glass.
Now I stand before you, as never before—a soul stripped bare.
Rain weeps, and your beauty is a star reborn.
You always knew: without you, I am wind in a hollow room.
All I possess I lay at your feet, all is yours by right.
My love, where have you wandered, till now, in the maze of hours?
A thousand nights and dawns—your absence, a tolling bell.
A thousand and one, my thoughts return to what we are.
Yet distance rends us, its teeth tearing the fabric of us.
My love, I know the dew of youth still clings to you,
Too soon for you to surrender—spring yet unspent.
Yet know I love you, and my thought circles us like a moth.
And I beseech heaven: let solitude fold you close.
I will plead with God for us, to shelter you from darkness,
And the sky alone will echo as my solitary voice.
I must depart—you know it—fear not: I shall return.
For our dream is you and I—and Belgrade between us.
