Miroslav Skoro "Stari čikl" lyrics

Translation to:en

Stari čikl

Ja sam samo stari čiklŠto je mnoge vode dosad vidioSad ne brodim više nikudŠupalj sam malo natruo

Sve rukavce i limaneVelike rijeke ja sam sve oplovioPamtim sretne i teške daneI nikad nisam tonuo

Nekad sam bio zdravo drvoNekad sam bio ja čamac novPreviše puta nasukali mePa namazali katranomPa namazali katranom

Bilo je dana bilo je noćiKada rijetko više itko dolaziKad iz tame svijetle očiStrah te al moraš sakriti

Kada lete divlje guskeI kad zima ledom vodu okujeBio sam željan riječi ljudskezvao al nitko ne čuje

Nekad sam bio zdravo drvoNekad sam bio ja čamac novPreviše puta nasukali mePa namazali katranomPa namazali katranom

Sad sam našo tiho mjestoIspod vrbe što nad vodom tugujeGledam mlađe gdje plove čestoU magle jutarnje

Još pitam tu i tamoJel baš sve ovako stvarno trebaloA onda shvatim nemam kamoStoput bi isto ponovio

Nekad sam bio zdravo drvoNekad sam bio ja čamac novPreviše puta nasukali mePa namazali katranomPa namazali katranom

Old čikl

I'm just an old čiklWhich has seen many watersNow I do not navigate any moreI am hollow and a little decayed

Every branches and baysEvery great rivers I have sailedI remember happy and difficult daysAnd I have never been sank

I used to be a healthy treeI used to be a new boatToo many times I have been strandedThen treated with tarThen treated with tar

There were days there were nightsWhen rarely anyone came anymoreWhen in the darkness eyes are glowingYou're afraid but you have to hide it

When the wild geese flyAnd when the winter shackles water with iceI desired human wordsI called but no one heard

I used to be a healthy treeI used to be a new boatToo many times I have been strandedThen treated with tarThen treated with tar

Now I found a quiet placeUnder the willow which grieves over the waterI am watching younger ships sailing oftenIn the morning mist

I still wonder here and thereIs this how it all should really happenAnd then I realize that I have nowhere to goA hundred times I would repeat the same

I used to be a healthy treeI used to be me a new boatToo many times I have been strandedThen treated with tarThen treated with tar
