Kao da je bilo nekad
As it was once before
i kao da je bilo tu
and as if it was here
pod velikim svetlim suncem
Under the big bright sun
pod velikim svetlim svodom
Under the big bright vault
Ručali smo meso
We were eating meat
glodali smo kosti dobrih životinja
We were gnawed the bones of good animals
mi imamo snage
We have the power
mi imamo snage za još dan
We have the power for one more day
Mi menjamo dan za noć
We are changing the day for night
mi menjamo noć za dan
We are changing the night for day
Prolaze brodovi
The boats are passing
trube u čast
They honk for honor,
zvone na uzbunu
They honk the alarm!
deca uče da plaču
The children are learning to cry
deca uče da poznaju svoj glas
The children are learning to recognize their voice
U toplim jaslama
In the warm manger
u hladu bora
In the shade of pine
pod zidom čempresa
Under the wall of cypress
mi menjamo našu noć
We are changing our night
za neki tuđi dan
For somebody else's day
za neki tuđii dan
For somebody else's day
Mi menjamo dan za noć
We are changing day for night
mi menjamo noć za dan
We are changing night for day
