Translation of the song lyrics Život je more - Đorđe Balašević

Život je more (original)

Život je more, pučina crna
Po kojoj tonu, mnogi što brode
Nije mi srce, plašljiva srna
Ja se ne bojim, velike vode
Lome me vali, nose me struje
Oseka sreće, a tuge plima
Šiba me nebo, bičem oluje
Al' još se ne dam i još me ima
U jutra rana, plaše me senke
Minulih dana
Sećanja mutna, kao u laži
Kao u snu…
Ipak se borim, ipak se nadam
Sve manje letim, sve više padam
I sve su jače ruke, što me vuku dnu…
Možda će žena, svilenog bedra
Koja me zove i pruža ruke
Uliti vetar, u moja jedra
Do nove žene, do nove luke
Život je more…

Život je more (translation)

Life is the sea, the sea is black
By what tone, many that sail
It's not my heart, timid doe
I'm not afraid, big water
They break me, they carry me
The ebb of happiness, and the tide of sorrow
The sky is whipping me, the whip of the storm
But I'm not giving up yet and I'm still there
Early in the morning, the shadows scare me
The past few days
Memories are blurry, like a lie
As in a dream…
I still fight, I still hope
The less I fly, the more I fall
And my hands are getting stronger, dragging me to the bottom…
Maybe a woman, a silk thigh
Who calls me and extends her arms
Pour the wind into my sails
To a new woman, to a new port
Life is the sea…
