Lyrics of Vraćam Se - Kemal Monteno, Arsen Dedic

Vraćam Se (original)

Ona duga putovanja,
dani rasuti u snijegu;
zar je srcu sve to trebalo da shvati?
Ovo mi more više znači.
Ti će mi ljudi više dati.
Oni gradovi daleki još se dalji danas čine.
Niti zvijezde nisu bile tako sjajne.
Šume su pute svoje skrile,
a dvorci čuvali su tajne
i od nas.
Ref.
Vraćam se tu, da ti kažem:
Ovo sunce nek mi sja.
Vraćam se tu, draga
To su luke iz mog sna.
Vraćam se tu,
na toj zemlji gradim dom.
Vraćam se tu, i kažem draga —
Sve ću dijeliti sa njom.
Dok smo tražili svoj dio,
dio svijetla, dio sreće,
dok smo slijedili te ljubavi iz bajke,
zvalo je more svake noći
i blage oči moje majke.
Možda pošli bismo dalje
da se ne vratimo nikad,
ali dobro su nas čuvali ti lanci,
Za toplu obalu djetinjstva bili smo vezani ko čamci,
život sav.
Ref.

(translation)

Those long journeys,
days scattered in the snow;
did the heart have to understand all that?
This sea means more to me.
These people will give me more.
Those cities far away still seem today.
Nor were the stars so bright.
The forests hid their way,
and the castles kept secrets
and from us.
Ref.
I'm coming back here to tell you:
Let this sun shine on me.
I'm coming back here, darling
These are the ports of my dream.
I'm coming back here,
I am building a home on that land.
I come back here, and I say dear -
I will share everything with her.
While we were looking for our share,
part of light, part of happiness,
as we followed those fairy tale loves,
the sea called every night
and the gentle eyes of my mother.
Maybe we could move on
to never come back,
but we were well guarded by those chains,
We were tied to the warm shores of childhood like boats,
life all.
Ref.
