Translation of the song lyrics Ptica bijela - Dino Merlin

Ptica bijela (original)

Te noci kad ne budu igrale sjene
I kad voda ko zna koji put razbije sjeme
I kad sve sto je nekad bilo vazno
Vise ne bude, i kad te neke grube ruke
Snazno iz sna probude
Te noci kad meleci navrate po mene
Da me opet vrate natrag u bijele pelene
I kad raspletene kose drugom
Ti sjednes u krilo
Ja ni tad necu nista protiv tebe
Necu gluho bilo
Ref
Kada jednom budem ja
Ko snijeg ptica bijela
Ne reci nikom da si me
Srela a kamoli voljela
Kada jednom dusa moja
Odleti od tijela
Ne reci nikom da si me zedna
Preko vode prevela, preko vode prevela
Te noci kad meleci navrate po mene
Da me opet vrate natrag u bijele pelene
I kad sve sto je nekad bilo vazno
Vise ne bude, i kad te neke grube ruke
Snazno iz sna probude

(translation)

That night when no shadows play
And when the water who knows how many times it breaks the seed
And when everything that once mattered
No more, even with those rough hands
He woke up strongly from his sleep
That night when the angels come for me
To put me back in white diapers again
And when untangled hair to another
You sit on your lap
I won't do anything against you then either
I won't be deaf
Ref
Once it's me
Like a snow bird white
Don't tell anyone you're me
She met, let alone loved
Once my soul
Fly away from the body
Don't tell anyone you're thirsty for me
Translated over water, translated over water
That night when the angels come for me
To put me back in white diapers again
And when everything that once mattered
No more, even with those rough hands
He woke up strongly from his sleep
