Olivera

(original)
Na pragu svojih dvadesetih
Bio sam laka roba
Bile su moderne barabe onih dana
Ne želim svega ni da se setim
Hteo sam, eto, sve da probam
Zvalo me zabranjeno voće s raznih grana
Sad žalim, da
Al` šta sam znao ja?
Ti si bila još devojčica
Leteo je kao leptir, tvoj čuperak…
Drugi bi sve
Imalo smisao
Drukčije bih život disao
Da sam znao da postojiš Olivera…
Možda sam, a da nisam znao
Pred isti izlog s` tobom stao
Možda smo zajedno iz voza negde sišli?
Možda si sasvim blizu bila
Ulicom mojom prolazila
I možda smo se na trenutak mimoišli?
Sad žalim, da
Al` šta sam znao ja?
Ti si bila još devojčica …
Daleko od mog oka i mog pera
Drugi bi sve
Imalo smisao
Ne bih svakoj pesme pisao
Da sam znao da postojiš Olivera…
Drugi bi sve
Imalo smisao
Ja bih iz te gužve zbrisao
I nikom ne bi bilo jasno šta ja to smeram
Znao bih gde
Da sebi nađem mir
Skrio se u tajni manastir
I čekao da ti odrasteš Olivera…
(translation)
On the verge of his twenties
I was an easy commodity
They were modern-day bastards
I don't even want to remember everything
I wanted to try everything
I was forbidden fruit from various branches
Now I'm sorry, yes
But what did I know?
You were still a girl
He flew like a butterfly, your tuft…
Others would do everything
It made sense
I would breathe life differently
If I only knew you were Oliver…
Maybe I did without knowing it
He stopped in front of the same shop window
Maybe we got off the train together somewhere?
Maybe you were quite close
She was walking down my street
And maybe we missed each other for a moment?
Now I'm sorry, yes
But what did I know?
You were still a girl…
Away from my eye and my pen
Others would do everything
It made sense
I wouldn't write every song
If I only knew you were Oliver…
Others would do everything
It made sense
I would get out of that mess
And it would not be clear to anyone what I am up to
I would know where
To find peace for myself
He hid in a secret monastery
And waited for you to grow up Oliver…
