Đorđe Balašević "Olivera" lyrics

Translation to:enroru

Olivera

Na pragu svojih dvadesetihbio sam laka roba,bile su moderne barabe onih dana.

Ne želim svega ni da se setim,hteo sam, eto, sve da probam,zvalo me zabranjeno voće s raznih grana.

Sad žalim, da,al' šta sam znao ja?Ti si bila još devojčica.Leteo je kao leptir tvoj čuperak.

Drugi bi sveimalo smisao,drukčije bih život disaoda sam znao da postojiš Olivera.

Možda sam a da nisam znaopred isti izlog s tobom stao,možda smo zajedno iz voza negde sišli?

Možda si sasvim blizu bila,ulicom mojom prolazilai možda smo se na trenutak mimoišli?

Sad žalim, da,al' šta sam znao ja?Ti si bila još devojčica,daleko od moga oka i mog pera.

Drugi bi sveimalo smisao,ne bih svakoj pesme pisaoda sam znao da postojiš Olivera.

Drugi bi sveimalo smisao,ja bih iz te gužve zbrisaoi nikom ne bi bilo jasno šta ja to smeram.

Znao bih gdeda sebi nađem mir,skrio se u tajni manastiri čekao da ti odrasteš Olivera.

Olivera

On the threshold of my twentiesI was easy to getthere were modern vagabonds of that days

I don't even want to remember all of thatYou know, i wanted to try everythingforbidden fruit called me from all kinds of branches..

Yes, now i regret,but what did i knew then?you were just a little girlyour tuft was flying on the wind like a butterfly..

Everything would have some differrent meaningi would breathe life much differentlyif i knew you exist my Olivera

Maybe i stood in front of same shop windowwith you, not knowing that..Maybe we got out from the same train together not knowing that?

Maybe you were so close to mepassed by through my street..and maybe we pass over next to each other on the momment..who knows?

Yes, now i regret,but what did i knew then?you were just a little girl..away from my eyes, and my pen

Everything would have some differrent meaningI would not write songs to every girl i know..if i just knew you exist my olivera

Everything would have some differrent meaningi would steal you from the crowdand no one would know what i am up to..

I would know where i can find my peacei would hide in the secret monasteryand wait for you to grow up..
