Translation of the song lyrics Utjeha Kose - Hladno Pivo

Utjeha Kose (original)

Gled’o sam te sinoć, u snu, tužnu, mrtvu
U dvorani kobnoj, u idili cvijeća
Na visokom odru, u agoniji svijeća
Gotov da ti predam život kao žrtvu
Nisam plakao.
Nisam, zapanjen sam stao
U dvorani kobnoj, punoj smrti krasne
Sumnjajući da su tamne oči jasne
Odakle mi nekad bolji život sjao
Sve baš, sve je mrtvo: oči, dah i ruke
Sve sto očajanjem htjedoh da oživim
U slijepoj stravi i u strasti muke
U dvorani kobnoj, mislima u sivim
Sve baš, sve je mrtvo: oči, dah i ruke
Sve sto očajanjem htjedoh da oživim
Samo kosa tvoja još je bila živa
Pa mi reče: miruj!
U smrti se sniva
U smrti se sniva
U smrti se sniva
U smrti se sniva

Utjeha Kose (translation)

I saw you last night, in a dream, sad, dead
In the fatal hall, in the idyll of flowers
On a high stage, in the agony of candles
I'm ready to give you my life as a victim
I didn't cry.
No, I stopped in astonishment
In a hall fatal, full of death, beautiful
Suspecting dark eyes clear
Where my better life once shone from
Everything is real, everything is dead: eyes, breath and hands
Everything I desperately wanted to revive
In blind terror and in the passion of torment
In the fatal hall, thoughts in gray
Everything is real, everything is dead: eyes, breath and hands
Everything I desperately wanted to revive
Only your hair was still alive
So he said to me: calm down!
He dreams in death
He dreams in death
He dreams in death
He dreams in death
