Translation of the song Vrijeme artist Zdravko Čolić

Serbian

Vrijeme

English translation

Time

Prolazi oluja

A storm is passing

zastave i plijen odnose mornari

the flags and pillage are taken away by the sailors

brod je napušten

the ship has been abandoned

ukleta će lađa uskoro na dno

this haunted ship has almost sunk to the bottom

ostaje kapetan, kao obično

the captain remains, as usual

Lijepa si i sama izašla iz sna

You're beautiful and alone, you came out of a dream

kućo pored mora vjetru predana

a house by the sea surrendered to the wind

za čim da se žali, dao sam ti sve

what is there to regret? I gave everything to you

ispjevao davno pjesme ljubavne

I sang long ago love songs

Ref.

Chorus.

Vrijeme, vrijeme, čudno vrijeme

Time, time, this strange time

bacilo je na nas sjene

it has casted a shadow upon us

vrijeme, vrijeme, krivo vrijeme

time, time, this awry time

i za tebe i za mene

for you and for me

More, more, divlje more

Sea, sea, the wild sea

smiruju se fortunali

the storm is calming down

spuštena su bijela jedra

the white sails have been brought down

jarboli su noćas pali

the masts have been lowered tonight
