Translation of the song Šljive su rodile artist Zdravko Čolić
Šljive su rodile
The plums are ripe
Sanjao sam tvoju kuću, ulicu i dan
I dreamed your house, the street and the day
Ljetni dan što ne može da prođe
the summer day which cannot pass
Slatki miris tvojih šljiva doš'o mi u san
the sweet smell of your plums came inside my dream
K'o što miris tvoje kose s vjetrovima dođe
like the smell of your hair comes with winds
Jednom nogom na rubu mladosti
With one foot on the edge of youth
Drugom smo pošli u oluje i munje
with another we go in the storms and lighting
Ko će brati šljive kad nema radosti
who´ll pick the plums if there is no joy
Ko će na ormare poredati dunje
who´ll put quince on closet
Ovih dana ne prestajem da sanjam
This days I don´t stop dreaming
Tvoja ljubav leti, a ja je ganjam
your love is flying and I´m chasing it
A snovi su sve jasniji i jasniji
and the dreams ar becoming clearer and clearer
Šljive su rodile
The plums are ripe
K'o i prošle godine
like the last year
Sve se oko mene plavi
everything is blue around me
Kao da je more došlo u tvoju bašču
it seemed like the sea come in your garden
Šljive su rodile
The plums are ripe
K'o i prošle godine
like the last year
Samo jedno je u glavi
only on thing is in the head
Ako poletim za tobom, bojim se, bojim se pašću
if I fly for you, I´m scared, I´m scared that I´ll fall
Sanjao sam tvoju kuću, ulicu i dan
I dreamed your house, the street and the day
Ljetni dan što ne može da prođe
the summer day which cannot pass
Slatki miris tvojih šljiva doš'o mi u san
the sweet smell of your plums came inside my dream
K'o što miris tvoje kose s vjetrovima dođe
like the smell of your hair comes with winds
Ovih dana ne prestajem da sanjam...
This days I don´t stop dreaming
