Translation of the song lyrics Kad mi dodješ ti - Oliver Dragojevic

Kad mi dodješ ti (original)

Pada noc puna strepnje nema Te tu kraj mene,
a trebam Te kao pjesnik- svoju bol.
Na srcu mi studen, zima, na usnama Tvoje ime
i samo cekam dan da dodjes mi!
A kad mi dodjes Ti i osmjeh vratis mi sva patnja i bol zivota mog ce proc.
U nocima bez sna ja Tebe dozivam
da dodjes mi Ti i kao svi pocnemo mi mirno zivjeti.
Moj dan nema kraja, a nocu Tebe sanjam
I samo cekam dan da dodjes mi.
A kad mi dodjes Ti i osmjeh vratis mi sva patnja i bol zivota mog ce proc.
U nocima bez sna ja Tebe dozivam
da dodjes mi Ti i kao svi pocnemo mi mirno zivjeti.
A kad mi dodjes Ti i osmjeh vratis mi sva patnja i bol zivota mog ce proc.
U nocima bez sna ja Tebe dozivam
da dodjes mi Ti i kao svi pocnemo mi mirno zivjeti.

Kad mi dodješ ti (translation)

Night falls, freighted with trembling, and you are not beside me,
yet I crave you as a poet craves the ache that shapes his song.
Frost lingers on my heart—winter’s iron fist—upon my lips, your name,
and I am but the horizon’s watchman, waiting for the day you will return.
But when at last you come, and laughter is restored to me, then every sorrow, every thorn of living, will dissolve.
In sleepless watches of the night, I summon your presence—
that you might come, and like the others, we might begin to dwell in tranquil peace.
My day is endless—by night, it is you I conjure in my dream;
Still I am the sentinel, awaiting dawn, the hour you reappear.
But when at last you come, and laughter is restored to me, then every sorrow, every thorn of living, will dissolve.
In sleepless watches of the night, I summon your presence—
that you might come, and like the others, we might begin to dwell in tranquil peace.
But when at last you come, and laughter is restored to me, then every sorrow, every thorn of living, will dissolve.
In sleepless watches of the night, I summon your presence—
that you might come, and like the others, we might begin to dwell in tranquil peace.
