Translation of the song Svadbarskim sokakom artist Zdravko Čolić

Skrenem katkad slucajno il' ne u onaj sokak kojim svadbe prolaze

Occasionally or not I sometimes go where wedding celebrations take place

do tog ugla brojim korake a od tog ugla dalje brojim poraze

I count the steps while getting to that corner and count the defeats when passing it

Obicno s jeseni i kad je oblacno odbjegla sjenka mi se vrati konacno

Usually in the fall when it's clouded, my shadow fled and finally returned

uzalud mijenjam adrese sam crni vrag mi je donese tu

I'm changing my adress in vain, the black devil braught her here to me

I vjesto smislim nesto utjesno

And I'm able to think of something comforting

u tom sam dobar, kazu, to najbolje znam

they say I'm good at it, I know best

trudim se, ne uvijek uspjesno

I'm trying, (but) not always succesful

tragove svoje da sam sebi zavaram

to hide my traces from myself

Obicno nocu kad je vjetrovito samoca napusti svoje korito

Normally when the night is windy, the loneliness abandons its basket

ta mutna rijeka poplavi poljane sjecanja u glavi svud

that blurry river overflooded the memories in the field of the entire mind

Ref.

Ref.

I naprosto se tuga desi jer naprosto si tu gdje jesi

And the pain simply happens cause you're there where you are

i naprosto je trista cuda

and there are simply thirthy wonders

predrasuda sad izmedju nas

Prejudices now between us

Kad ljubav umre jedan zali

When love dies, one regrets

kad ljubav umre jednom fali

When love dies, it's missed

i bome nije lako kad naidje sokakom kojim svadbe prolaze

and by God it's not easy when the road where wedding celebrations is approached

Ponekad jos osjetim tvoj dah

Sometimes I feel your breath

kao nekad kad se okrenes u snu

like once when you turned over in your sleep

kao lahor dirne me na mah

Like a breeze it touches my facial hair

kad smo i casa i ja prilicno pri dnu

When I and my glass have reached the bottom

Obicno uvijek i slicnim danima proslost se navali kao planina

Usually on simular days the past always attacks like mountains

na tom cu vrhu da sazrem jer samo s njega nekad nazrem nas

at that top I'll become more mature cause only from there I sometimes perceive us.
