| Okreni mi leđa | Turn your back to me—let evening clouds eclipse the sun, |
| Da ne gledam suze u tim zenicama | So I might not behold those rain-swollen pools within your eyes, |
| Da ne gledam usne kako se koče | So I might not witness your mouth’s shivering arch freeze, |
| Dok kažeš mi «Da, dobro sam ja» | While you murmur, ‘Yes, I am well,’ a brittle masquerade— |
| Okreni | Turn away, |
| A pogledima svojim više ne znam da vladam | For I can no longer govern the wild compass of my gaze, |
| Dok iz ruke mi pada | As from my hand—weightless— |
| Čaša kristala što se lomi, lomi kô mi | The crystal chalice tumbles, fractures, and sings of me, breaking twice— |
| Adio amore, još volim te jako | Adio, amore—still, you are my fevered longing, |
| Iako si davno izgubila sjaj | Though your luster fled with vanished years, |
| Gledam te kako se rušiš polako | I watch you, a spire unmoored, slowly disintegrating— |
| A kada to vidim — tad rušim se ja | And in that vision, I too unravel, stone by stone, |
| Adio amore, još volim te jako | Adio, amore—still, you are my fevered longing, |
| Još uvek si ono dete iz sna | Still, you remain the child fashioned from my dream, |
| Od toga se neću ja rastati nikad | Such dreamstuff—never will I wrest it from my soul, |
| Ti nekog drugog odvuci do dna | Let someone else be led by your hand into the undertow— |
| Daj, baci telefon | Come—cast the telephone away, |
| Hajde, suoči se sa mnom, kaži šta osećaš | Stand before me—speak what the marrow of your spirit holds, |
| Ma koliko gadno, ma koliko jadno je | No matter how ruinous, how scorned or threadbare the truth, |
| Razumeću ja i samo ja | None but I will fathom, only I, |
| Okreni | Turn away, |
| A pogledima svojim više ne znam da vladam | For I can no longer govern the wild compass of my gaze, |
| Dok iz ruke mi pada | As from my hand—weightless— |
| Čaša kristala što se lomi, lomi kô mi | The crystal chalice tumbles, fractures, and sings of me, breaking twice— |
| Adio amore, još volim te jako | Adio, amore—still, you are my fevered longing, |
| Iako si davno izgubila sjaj | Though your luster fled with vanished years, |
| Gledam te kako se rušiš polako | I watch you, a spire unmoored, slowly disintegrating— |
| A kada to vidim — tad rušim se ja | And in that vision, I too unravel, stone by stone, |
| Adio amore, još volim te jako | Adio, amore—still, you are my fevered longing, |
| Još uvek si ono dete iz sna | Still, you remain the child fashioned from my dream, |
| Od toga se neću ja rastati nikad | Such dreamstuff—never will I wrest it from my soul, |
