Lyrics of Kockar - Mile Kitić

Kockar (original)

Ja sam zivot svoj stavio na kocku
mada kockar nikad nisam bio
i sve sto sam u zivotu steko
to mi niko nije poklonio
Ref.
Otac cuti, majka lomi ruke
i sapce mi tiho k’o djetetu
mili sine nema srece lude
nije ona jedina na svijetu
Ja sam zivot svoj stavio na kocku
i ako je zivot samo jedan
i ako mi drugovi govore
da ga zato niko nije vrijedan
Ref.
Ja sam zivot svoj stavio na kocku
sve zbog zene sto je drugi uze
i borim se da je sebi vratim
da mi radost smjeni gorke suze
Ref.

(translation)

I risked my life
although I have never been a gambler
and everything I have gained in life
no one gave it to me
Ref.
The father is silent, the mother is breaking her arms
and whispers to me softly like a child
dear son no crazy luck
she is not the only one in the world
I risked my life
and if life is only one
and if comrades tell me
that is why no one is worth it
Ref.
I risked my life
all because of the woman the other took
and I struggle to get it back
that my joy may be replaced by bitter tears
Ref.
