Translation of the song Sat klavira artist Oliver Dragojević

Sve lijepe stvari što ih se uči

All the beautiful things which we learn

da s nama traju i s nama žive

So they would last with us and live with us

k'o dijete saznah u vašoj kući

I learned as a child in your house

što još se bijeli u srcu rive

Still standing white in the middle of the coastwalk

Uz klavir plaho ja sam k'o mnogi

Timidly, beside the piano, I was

zanesen bdio uz vaše prste

Watching like many bedazzled with your fingers

i niste znali onako strogi

And you didn't know, harsh as you were,

da i u meni sve žice drhte

That all the strings inside me are trembling too

Na drugom katu, nadomak luke

Second floor, next to the port

glazba još traje k'o let leptira

Music still lasts like a butterfly's flight

u vaše bijele dok gledah ruke

As I looked at your white hands -.

dal' srce slušah il' zvuk klavira

Was I listening to the heart or the sound of the piano?

Vaš glas je bio uz tihu lampu

Next to a silent lamp, your voice was

za mene tajna, sjaj žutog pliša

A mistery to me, the glow of the yellow velvet

k'o kapi jutra u svijetlom slapu

Like the drops of the morning in a bright waterfall

k'o blagi rujan u sjeni kiša

Like mild September in the shadow of rains

Još pamtim klavir do samog zida

I still remember the piano against the wall

i dah starine na porculanu

And the vintage air on the porcelain

i kako često od pustog stida

And how often because of pure shame

od Vas sam krio znoj na svom dlanu

I hid sweat on my palm from you

Kad bi se note prosule stanom

When tones would spill around the apartment

k'o nježno cvijeće uz miris žbuke,

Like gentle flowers against the smell of plaster

sve što sam dužan djetinjstvu ranom

All that I owe my early childhood was

uz Vas se zače sa čet'ri ruke

Created by your side with four hands

Dal' isti miris još čuva kuća

Does the house still keep the same smell

i vaše riječi dal' drugi cijene

And do other treasure your words

na zidnom satu uz pomoć ključa

Does that time counts for you

za Vas dal' kuca sad ono vrijeme

On the wall clock with the help of a key
