Translation of the song Znam da me voliš artist Oliver Dragojević

Znam da si bila i ostala dijete,

I know that you were and always a child,

što svaku igru neozbiljno shvaća.

who understood every frivolous game.

Životi nisu ptice, koje lete,

Lives are not birds who fly,

naša su krila mnogo, mnogo kraća.

our wings are much, much shorter.

Pružam ti spokoj ove tople sobe,

I offer you my serenity across this warm room,

i ljubav svoju i sve svoje dane.

and my love and days.

Drugi te puti nikuda ne vode,

Other paths lead you nowhere,

kud god da kreneš ti ćeš dobit manje.

wherever you go, you'll get less.

Kad budeš tužna i kad budeš sama,

When you become sad and when you become alone,

navrati k meni, uvijek ćeš me naći.

come back to me, you'll always find me.

Znam da me voliš, kao prvog dana,

I know that you love me, like the first day,

al’ tvoj je nemir od ljubavi jači.

but your distress is stronger than love.

Proći će vrijeme naglih putovanja,

The rushed trips will pass,

stišat će strasti, kao morska pjena.

they will calm the passion, like the sea foam.

Ne budi dijete koje samo sanja,

Don't be a child, who just dreams,

malo se toga u životu mijenja.

stuff like that doesn't really change in life.

Postoji slika jedne tihe luke,

There is a picture of one quiet harbour

i jedno sunce i komadić neba.

and one sun and a piece of the sky.

Kad god da dođeš, čekat će te ruke,

Whenever you come, my hands will wait for you,

tople i nježne, stvarnije od svega.

soft and gentle, more real than anything else.
