Translation of the song Ničeg nije bilo između nas artist Zdravko Čolić

Ničeg nije bilo između nas,

There was nothing between us,

to je pola gole istine.

That's a half of the naked truth.

Ničeg nije bilo između nas…

There was nothing between us...

Jutros sam s kišom pred vrata pao.

This morning I fell with the rain in front of the door.

K’o baletan se uvuk’o u stan.

Like a ballet dancer I sneaked into the apartment.

Na prstima tiho, da ne čuje niko

Quietly on my fingers, so no one hears

ni šum, ni glas, ni ti, ni pas.

Not a hum, not a voice, neither you, neither the dog.

Moje je srce pred tobom čisto,

My heart in front of you is pure,

al’ savjest moli i kleči.

But the conscience prays and kneels.

Rekla si: Gdje si?

You said: where are you?

U moj je uzdah stalo hiljadu riječi.

A thousand words (then) fit into my breath.

Pitaš me kako to u jesen mirišem na proljeće

You ask me how come I, in autumn,

i da li smijem da se zakunem

Smell like spring

da ničeg nije bilo.

And may I swear

Ničeg nije bilo između nas,

There was nothing between us,

to je pola gole istine.

That's a half of the naked truth.

Ničeg nije bilo između nas.

There was nothing between us.

Ni moje košulje, ni njene haljine.

Nor my shirt, nor her dress.

A ti si meni otvorila kavez,

And you opened a cage to me,

al’ si mi slomila krila.

but you broke my wings.

Iskreno… ženo, nadam se

Honestly... woman, I hope

da to ljubav nije ni bila.

That that even wasn't love.

Pitaš se kako to u jesen mirišem na proljeće

You ask yourself how come I, in autumn,

i da li smijem da se zakunem

Smell like spring

da ničeg nije bilo.

And may I swear

Ničeg nije bilo između nas,

There was nothing between us,

to je pola gole istine.

That's a half of the naked truth.

Ničeg nije bilo između nas…

There was nothing between us...

Ni moje košulje, ni njene haljine.

Nor my shirt, nor her dress.
