| Poljubi me i budi tu | Kiss me, and linger near— |
| Da sklopim oci na tvom toplom ramenu | So I may fold my eyes upon your warmer than dawn shoulder, |
| Poljubi me i budi tu | Kiss me, and linger near— |
| Nek srce lupa kao da je prvi put | Let my heart pound—like a stag startled by first light— |
| Poljubi me, pomoli se | Kiss me, say a prayer in hush— |
| Sve svijece svijeta | Let the world’s every candle |
| Nek se za nas upale | Flare their constellations for us alone, |
| Ostani, ovu noc kad svi mi prijete ostani | Stay—this night, when threats rattle the shutters, stay— |
| Zagrli me kao dijete ostani | Hold me, as a mother gathers her dreaming child, stay— |
| Kad sva si ljubav moja samo ti | When you, alone, are all the love I own— |
| Ostani, da me cuvas kada zaspu anjeli | Stay—be my vigil, keep watch when angels close their eyes— |
| Poljubi me i budi tu | Kiss me, and linger near— |
| Nek srce lupa kao da je prvi put | Let my heart pound—like a stag startled by first light— |
| Poljubi me, pomoli se | Kiss me, say a prayer in hush— |
| Sve svijece svijeta | Let the world’s every candle |
| Nek se za nas upale | Flare their constellations for us alone, |
