Translation of the song lyrics U mom zagrljaju - Oliver Dragojevic

U mom zagrljaju (original)

Cuvam za tebe jedan zagrljaj
Jedne usne sto ti ime spominju
Ne znas da tek kad svemu dodje kraj
Prave ljubavi tek onda pocinju
Kad jutro krene preko prozora
Znat cu da nisi moja
Ljubav daj mi, ljubav svoju
Spasi dusu moju
Bez tebe je prazna
Samo ljubav daj mi
Ljubav koju odnijet ces u zoru
Nitko nek ne sazna
Ovu noc nitko nek ne sazna
Da si tu u mom zagrljaju
Cuvam za tebe jedan poljubac
I jednu pjesmu sto je nikad ne pjevam
Vjeruj mi sve bi jos za tebe ja
I nema noci kojom te ne dozivam
Kad jutro krene preko prozora
Znat cu da nisi moja
Ljubav daj mi, ljubav svoju
Spasi dusu moju
Bez tebe je prazna
Samo ljubav daj mi
Ljubav koju odnijet ces u zoru
Nitko nek ne sazna
Ovu noc nitko nek ne sazna
Da si tu u mom zagrljaju

U mom zagrljaju (translation)

I shelter for you a single, waiting embrace,
These lips—your name a dew upon their dawn—
You do not know: only when all things efface
Do true loves rise, newly and forlorn.
When morning seeps with opal through the pane,
I shall know you are no longer mine;
Grant me your love, that rare, resplendent flame,
Redeem my soul before it slips from time.
Without you, it is hollow as a bell,
Only your love—let all else fall away—
The love you carry forth at break of day,
Let no living soul divine or tell.
Let none unravel the secret of this night,
That here, within my arms, you lay concealed.
I keep for you a single, silent kiss,
And a song—unsung, its longing never healed.
Believe me, all I am, I’d give for you,
No night descends I do not summon you anew.
When morning seeps with opal through the pane,
I shall know you are no longer mine;
Grant me your love, that rare, resplendent flame,
Redeem my soul before it slips from time.
Without you, it is hollow as a bell,
Only your love—let all else fall away—
The love you carry forth at break of day,
Let no living soul divine or tell.
Let none unravel the secret of this night,
That here, within my arms, you lay concealed.
