Translation of the song Barbara artist Hari Mata Hari

Rekla si kako voliš momke s juga

You told me how you love guys from the south

i kako gore kod vas u Ljubljani

and how up where you are in Ljubljana

ponekad, padaju purpurne kiše

sometimes, fall purple rains

Kad navratiš nekad u moje snove

When you come sometimes in my dreams

Sa svojim davnim

With you long ago

mirisom ciklame

scent of cyclamen,

ja zadrhtim kao prut

I tremble like a rod

kao izgubljeni balon

like a lost balloon

Barbara, o moja Barbara

(Chorus)

odnijeli su tebe dani

Barbara, oh my Barbara

odnijeli te konji vrani

the days have taken you away

stani ludo srce, nije kraj

the horses have taken you to the crow

Barbara, o moja Barbara

Barbara oh my Barbara

ti si vatra, u njoj gorim

you are a fire, and I burn in it.

zbog tebe se ja još borim

Because of you I am fighting

naša plava zvijezda ima sjaj

our blue star has a shine.

U bašti pepela iz mojih snova

In a garden of ash of my dreams

često narasteš k’o oblak iz mora

often, you grow like a cloud from the ocean.

živiš kratko kao leptir

you live shortly, like a butterfly

samo par sati dok spava svemir

only a few hours while the universe sleeps.

I vidim ti oči kako se sjaje

And I see your eyes how they shine

dok nijemo pozdravljaš dimnjačare

while you silently greet the chimney sweeps

i tražiš neke čari orijenta

And you look for some magic of the Orient

u ovom gradu na kraju svijeta

in this city at the end of the world

Barbara, o moja Barbara...

(Chorus)
