Lyrics of Kao talas... - Đorđe Balašević

Kao talas... (original)

Negde se pipnu naši mali svemiri
Kada već pomislim da spavaš
Zašumi saten… Tama se uznemiri
I kao talas naiđeš
U školjki tvoga pupka leto zimuje
Tu čuvaš mrve sunca za nas
Sa tvojim dodirom se čežnja rimuje
Dok kao talas nadireš
I ništa više nije važno
Lice sveta zlobno i lažno se raspline za čas
I niko više nije bitan
Svi su pesak prezren i sitan, pesak ispod nas
Srebra decembra kuju prsten za tvoj prst
Niz tvoje sapi zvezda pala
Zalud te privijam uz sebe, ko uz krst
Kao talas izmičeš
Ostavljaš slane kapi bistre
I jato dobrih mirisa Istre po sobi razvijaš
Ostavljaš varljiv zalog pene
U srcu ove napukle stene koju razbijaš…

(translation)

Our little universes are touched somewhere
When I think you're sleeping
Satin rustles… Darkness is upset
And you come across like a wave
Summer spends the winter in the shell of your navel
That's where you keep the crumbs of the sun for us
With your touch, the longing rhymes
As you rise like a wave
And nothing else matters
The face of the world, evil and false, vanished in an instant
And no one matters anymore
All the sand is despised and fine, the sand below us
Silver December is forging a ring for your finger
A star fell through your breath
I cling to you in vain, like a cross
You escape like a wave
You leave salty drops clear
And you develop a flock of good smells of Istria around the room
You're leaving a deceptive supply of foam
In the heart of this cracked rock that you break…
