Translation of the song Ljubav je samo riječ artist Zdravko Čolić

Ljubav je samo riječ i ništa više,

Love is only a word, and nothing else

ljubav se uvijek isto čita i piše,

love is always written and read the same

ruka u ruci je već nešto drugo

hand in hand is something different

i šapat nježnih riječi uz kapi kiše...

and a gentle whisper with rain drops

Ljubav je samo riječ i ništa više,

Love is only a word, and nothing else

obična slova svakog lista papira,

ordinary letters of every piece of paper

tajna i strepnje su već nešto drugo,

secret and shudders are something different

to je i prvo pismo sto riječi bira...

that is the first letter that chooses words

Ljubav je samo riječ i ništa više...

love is only a word and nothing else

Ponekad je samo pogled

sometimes it's only a look

uzrok bezbroj budnih noći,

that causes countless sleepless nights

uzalud se nekad moli,

sometimes, prayers are in vain

to je ljubav, to se voli.

that is love, that is loving

I kad oči suze vlaže

and when tears fill the eyes

i nevjesto kad se laže

and when lies are clumsy

ili kada tijelo boli,

or when the body hurts

to je ljubav, to se voli.

that is love, that is loving
