Ja gledao sam sunce na istoku
I was looking to the Sun at East,
kako se budi
the way he awakes.
i gledao sam oblake i jutro
I was looking clouds and morning
u tisuću boja
in thousands colors.
Sklapao oči od bola
I've been closing my eyes because of pain
i skrivao suze
I've been hiding my tears,
a ona je ostala tamo
but she stayed there
daleko u noći
far in a night.
Zbog jedne divne crne žene
Because of one beautiful brunette,
zbog njene divne crne kose
because of her beautiful black hair,
zbog jednog pogleda tužnog u noći
because of one sad look in the night,
zbog obećanja, da će mi doći
because of a promise that she will come,
tužan i sam, čekam je ja
sad and alone, I'm waiting for you.
Daleko me nosila ptica srebrnih krila
I've been taken far by the bird with silver wings,
u zemlju u kojoj je nekad i ona bila
into a land where she lived long ago.
toliko sam želio sreću i ljubav bez kraja
I was looking for a happiness and love so badly,
al' život me odnio dalje daleko od nje
but life took me far away from her.
