Translation of the song Prva ljubav artist Đorđe Balašević

Tad još nisam ništa znao

BACK THEN I DIDNT KNOW ANYTHING

i još nisam verovao,

AND I DIDN’T BELIEVE

da na svetu tuge ima.

THAT THERE IS SADNESS IN THE WORLD

Jedino mi važno bilo

THE ONLY IMPORTANT THIG WAS

da postanem levo krilo

TO BECOME A LEFT WINGER

il' centarfor školskog tima.

OR CENTER FORWARD OF SCHOOL TEAM

Tad sam iznenada sreo

THEN SUDDENLY I MET

najtoplijeg leta deo,

WARMEST PART OF THE SUMMER

to su njene oči bile.

THOSE WERE HER EYES

Imala je kose plave

SHE HAD BLONDE HAIR

i u njima na vrh glave

AND ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD

belu mašnicu od svile.

WHITE SILK RIBBON

Prva je ljubav došla tiho, nezvana, sama,

FIRST LOVE CAME QUIETLY, UNINVITED, ALONE..

za sva vremena skrila se tu negde, duboko u nama.

FOR ALL TIMES HID SOMEWHERE, DEEP IN US

Kad je prošlo đacko vreme,

WHEN SCHOOL TIME WAS OVER

padeži i teoreme

CASES AND THEOREMS

i stripovi ispod klupe,

COMIC BOOKS UNDER THE BENCH

nije više bila klinka,

SHE WASN’T A GIRL ANYMORE

počela je da se šminka

SHE STARTED TO USE MAKE UP

i da želi stvari skupe.

AND TO WISH EXPENSIVE THINGS

Tako mi je svakog dana

THAT’S HOW EVERY DAY

bivala sve više strana,

SHE BECAME MORE OF A STRANGER TO ME

slutio sam šta nas čeka.

I SUSPECTED WHAT WILL COME

Pa sam prestao da brinem

SO I STOPPED WORRYING

kako da joj zvezde skinem,

HOW TO GET THE STARS FOR HER

postala mi je daleka.

SHE BECAME DISTANT FOR ME

Prva je ljubav došla tiho, nezvana sama,

FIRST LOVE CAME QUIETLY, UNINVITED, ALONE

za sva vremena skrila se tu negde, duboko u nama.

FOR ALL TIMES HID SOMEWHERE DEEP IN US

Danas je na sedmom nebu,

TODAY SHE IS ON 7TH HEAVEN

kažu mi da čeka bebu.

THEY SAY TO ME THAT SHE’S EXPECTING A BABY

Našla je sigurnost, sreću, dom...

SHE FOUND SAFETY, HAPPINESS, AND HOME

Ima muža inžinjera

SHE HAS A HOUSBAND ENGINEER

pred kojim je karijera

WHO HAS A BRIGHT CAREER

i mesto u društvu visokom.

AND A PLACE IN HIGH SOCIETY

Ja još kradem dane Bogu.

AND I STILL STEAL THE DAYS FROM GOD

Ja još umem, ja još mogu

I STILL KNOW, I STILL CAN

da sam sebi stvorim neki mir.

TO MAKE A PEACE FOR MYSELF

Još sam sretan što postojim,

I’M STILL HAPPY I EXIST

pišem pesme, zvezde brojim.

I WRITE SONGS, COUNTING STARS

Još sam onaj isti vetropir.

I’M STILL THE SAME SCATTERBRAIN

Prva je ljubav došla tiho, nezvana sama,

FIRST LOVE CAME QUIETLY, UNINVITED, ALONE

za sva vremena skrila se tu negde, duboko u nama.

FOR ALL TIMES HID SOMEWHERE DEEP IN US..
