Lyrics of Vagabund - Zdravko Colic

Vagabund (original)

Govorila si da je kraj,
al' tebi vjerovao nisam,
tek kad su usne blijede
prisle ka mome licu
u casu tom sam znao sve.
Jurim po prerijama,
skitam po planinama,
trazim te po sjajnim zvijezdama,
skrivam se po sumama,
drugujem s lutalicama.
Kad imam — placam za sve,
kad nemam — zivim ko prije.
Sta je zivot i smrt,
sta je strah?
Postojis samo ti…
Sanjam po vozovoma,
spavam sa klosarima,
placem za uspomenama.
U nekim potkrovljima,
lazno se milujem sa
umornim tudjim zenama.
Al' iznad svega si ti,
ti dajes nadu i moc
da trazim dalje i dalje
taj dom u kojem zivis ti.

(translation)

You said it was the end,
but I didn't believe you,
only when the lips are pale
came to my face
at that moment I knew everything.
I run across the prairies,
I wander in the mountains,
I'm looking for you in the bright stars,
I'm hiding in the woods,
I hang out with wanderers.
When I have - I pay for everything,
when I don't have - I live like before.
What is life and death,
what is fear
There is only you…
I dream of trains,
I sleep with bums,
I cry for memories.
In some attics,
I'm lying falsely with
tired of other people's wives.
But above all you are,
you give hope and strength
to look further and further
that home you live in.
