Oči male balerine
the eyes of a small ballerina
slučajno sam juče sreo
i met by chance yesterday
čekao kroz godine i volio
waited for years and loved
Prolazila duga ljeta
Long summers passed by
al' sam znao da će doći
but I knew that it/she would come
procvjetati poput cvijeta
it would flower like a flower
jedne ludo tople noći
one crazy, warm night
Jednu malu balerinu
one little ballerina
koja u mom srcu pleše
which dances in my heart
čekao sam kroz godine i volio
I waited for and loved for years
Prolazila duga ljeta
long summers passed by
al' sam znao da će doći
but I knew it/she would come
jedne ludo tople noći
one crazy, warm night
Samo ne znam da l' bi htjela
only I don't know if she would like
onu igru koju ne sm'je
that game/dance which she isn't allowed/which she doesn't know
il' je možda zavoljela
or if she perhaps has fallen in love
tužne rime moje pjesme
with the sad rhymes of my song
Samo ne znam da l' me hoće
I don't know if she wants me
da li ona mene želi
if she desires me
u tom svijetu od samoće
in that world full of loneliness
gdje smo čudom
where by chance
