Translation of the song lyrics Brod u boci - Oliver Dragojevic, Stjepan Hauser

Brod u boci (original)

Ja nisam kao ti
Da bih prihvatio kraj
Bez rijeci utjehe
I bez ijednog pitanja
I moram biti jak
Da podnio bih to
I da vrata otvorim
Za neka nova svitanja
K’o brod u boci putujem
I necu stici nikamo
Jer suvise ti dugujem
Da tebe bih se odrek’o
K’o brod u boci putujem
I necu stici nikamo
Jer predobro se poznajem
Da bez tebe bih mogao
K’o brod u boci putujem
I previse ti dugujem
A dao sam ti premalo

Brod u boci (translation)

I'm not like you
To accept the end
No words of comfort
And without a single question
And I have to be strong
If I could handle it
And to open the door
For some new dawns
I travel like a ship in a bottle
And I'm not going anywhere
Because I owe you too much
I would give you up
I travel like a ship in a bottle
And I'm not going anywhere
Because I know each other too well
Yes, I could do without you
I travel like a ship in a bottle
And I owe you too much
And I gave you too little
