Translation of the song Kao talas artist Đorđe Balašević

Negde se pipnu naši mali svemiri

Somewhere our universes touch

kada već pomislim da spavaš

When I think you’re sleeping,

zašumi saten, tama se uznemiri

The satin makes noise, the darkness becomes disturbed,

i kao talas naiđeš

And then like a wave, you arrive.

U školjke tvoga pupka leto zimuje

In the shell of your belly button, a summer is hidden,

tu čuvaš mrve sunca za nas

You keep traces of sun in there.

sa tvojim dodirom se čežnja rimuje

The longing rhymes with your touch

dok kao talas nadireš

While you like a wave, invade.

Ref.

Chorus:

I ništa više nije važno

And nothing matters anymore.

lice sveta zlobno i lažno

The evil and fake face of the world

se raspline za čas

Disappears in a minute.

i niko više nije bitan

And no one else matters anymore,

svi su pesak prezren i sitan

Everyone is contemptible and trivial sand,

pesak ispod nas

The sand under us.

Srebra decembra kuju prsten za tvoj prst

The silvers of December coin a ring for your finger,

niz tvoje šapi zvezda pala

Down your hands a star is falling.

zalud te privijam uz sebe k'o uz krst

I’m trying in vain to attach myself to you like to a cross,

ti kao talas izmićeš

When you like a wave, move away.

Ostavljaš slane kapi bistre

You leave salty clear drops

i jato dobrih mirise Istre po sobi razvijaš

And a cluster of Istra* scent you develop in the room.

ostavljaš varljiv zalog pene u srcu

You leave a misleading pledge of foam

ove napukle stene koju razbijaš

On this cracked rock of my heart, onto which you’re breaking.
