Translation of the song lyrics Neću Izdat Ja - Marko Perković Thompson

Neću Izdat Ja (original)

Kao stijena što se ne da
Žegama, divljim olujama
I ja nikad ne dam se
Kroz stvarnost lutam
Život moj je poput hladne rijeke
Beskrajan i vijuga se
Iz nekog razloga neznana
Negdje ipak prestaje
Oooooo, negdje ipak prestaje
Nisam sudac, a ni mudrac
Teško nosim to kamenje
To breme sjećanja
Na svojim leđima
Gdje god dođem, kud god prođem
Već je netko odlučio
U ime onoga što nas je stvorio
A nije se borio
Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Neću izdat' ja Boga nikada
Neću gasit' sunce koje s neba sja
Neću zbog tebe rukom na sebe
Jer ti me voliš i ti se moliš za mene

Neću Izdat Ja (translation)

Like a stone that yields not to
The scorch of suns nor wild, unbridled tempests,
So I, unbroken, will not bend nor break.
Through realms of waking dream I wander on.
My life—a river, cold and pale as moonlight,
Without a shore, it winds in ceaseless turns,
For reasons deep as shadow, unexplained,
Yet somewhere, ah—its current must be stilled.
Oooooo—yet somewhere, ah, its current must be stilled.
I am no judge, nor sage upon a mountain,
The weight of ancient stones I bear with pain,
This freight of memory—
It stoops my back with shadows I have known.
Wherever I arrive, whatever path I trace,
Already, fate’s decree has been pronounced,
In the name of that which summoned flesh from silence,
Yet never raised its hand to shield or fight.
Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Never shall I betray the Lord above,
I shall not dim the sun ablaze upon the vault,
Never, for your sake, shall my own hand undo me,
For you, who love me, you, whose prayers enfold my name.
