Translation of the song lyrics Metar Iznad Dna - Parni Valjak

Metar Iznad Dna (original)

Ja dolazim i odlazim
Kada zaželim
Al' to nikad ne radim
Da te pobijedim
Ti si mi na prvom mjestu
Sve ću da ti dam
Al' ponekad je tako dobro
Kada spavam sam
Kada spavam sam
Ne steži me, ne guši me
To ne podnosim
Proći će još vremena
Dok ja usporim
Ne da mi se kada moram
To me ubija
Takav mi je stari bio
Takav sam i ja
Takav sam i ja
Spavam, sanjam, lebdim
Metar iznad dna
Ne steži me…
Ne da mi se kada moram
To me ubija
To je stara navada
Mojeg plemena
Mojeg plemena
Spavam, sanjam, lebdim…
Metar iznad dna
Metar iznad dna

Metar Iznad Dna (translation)

I come and go
When I want
But I never do that
To beat you
You come first to me
I'll give you everything
But sometimes it's so good
When I sleep alone
When I sleep alone
Don't squeeze me, don't choke me
I can't stand it
More time will pass
While I slow down
I don't feel like it when I have to
It kills me
He was such an old man to me
So am I.
So am I.
I sleep, I dream, I float
A meter above the bottom
Don't squeeze me…
I don't feel like it when I have to
It kills me
It's an old habit
My tribe
My tribe
I sleep, dream, float…
A meter above the bottom
A meter above the bottom
