Translation of the song Traje noć artist Josipa Lisac

Croatian

Traje noć

English translation

Night Lasts

Ti u odsjaju sa ekrana,

You in the reflection from the screen

krišom promatram tvoje lice...

I secretly observe your face..

Pored tebe, pa ipak sama,

Next to you, but still alone,

a sve više me guše slutnje te.

And these hunches trouble me more and more

Stare nježnosti više nema,

Old tenderness is gone,

riječi prazne, jer u tvom srcu,

Words are empty because the love,

ljubav odavno nije tema,

That meant the world to us yesterday,

što je jučer još značila nam sve.

Isn't a topic in your heart for a long time

Neki zvuci još uvijek traju...

Some sounds still go on...

tiha glazba i riječi tvoje.

Quiet music and your words

Ali pjesma se bliži kraju,

But the song is getting close to it's end

poput bujice šutnja nosi sve.

Silence takes away everything like a torrent

Trgam list s našeg kalendara,

I pull down a page from our calender

k'o da sutra će biti bolje.

Like tomorrow will be better

Svaki dan samu sebe varam...

I cheat myself every day

nemoguć je bijeg od sudbine.

Escaping destiny is impossible.

Dok u postelji ležim sama,

While I lay alone in bed

uzalud teške misli ganjam,

I chase away heavy thoughts in vain

crne kao i noćna tama,

As black as the dark of the night

one su zarobile mi sne.

They captured my dreams

Traje noć... život prolazi moj

Night lasts... My life passes

Traje noć... kao pješčani sat,

Night lasts... Like an hourglass

Traje noć... a i spušta se mrak

Night lasts... and the night is coming down too

Traje noć... jedva čujno, k'o tat.

Night lasts... barely hearable, like a thief

Traje noć... život vrti se moj

Night lasts... my life spins

Traje noć... k'o podivljali vir.

Night lasts... like whirlpool gone wild

Traje noć... nebo preklinjem sad

Night lasts... I curse the heaven now

Traje noć... da mi vrati moj mir.

Night lasts... to give me back my peace
