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… |
