Translation of the song Halima artist Dino Merlin

To je bilo ljeto '99

it was the summer of '99

još mi je samo mama govorila Šuti dijete

only my mother still told me 'be quiet child'

a ja sam imao već tada svega dovoljno

and i had enough of everything by then

da u tvojoj školi prođem dovoljno

to pass in your school satisfactorily

Ček'o sam da tama prekrije grad

i waited till the darkness covered the city

da lijepa i sama prošetaš

so you can beautifully and alone take a walk

sve što sam htio tad ja želim i sad

everything i wanted then i still want now

da u životu mom sve bude po tvom

so that everything in my life could be your way

Rekao sam tiho Nemoj da te iznenadi

i said quietly 'dont let it suprise you'

protiv naše ljubavi će čaršija da radi

the town's going to work against our love

rekao sam tiho Nemoj da te iznenadi

i said quietly 'dont let it suprise you'

protiv naše ljubavi će

the town's going to work against our love

Halima, Halima

halima, halima

ja ajni , ja ajni *

ja ajni , ja ajni *

Halima, Halima

halima, halima

gdje su oni dani

where are those days

Halima, Halima

halima, halima

kad trebalo je reći Ostani

when i should have said 'stay'

Kad sam ti prišao, sve se stišalo

when i came close to you, everthing quietened

samo je u mojoj glavi pistalo

except in my head everything whistled

ptice, cvijeće, park i drveće

birds, flowers, the park and trees

i ta opasna mašina što globus okreče

and that dangerous machine that turns the globe

Zamuc'o sam fraze nedorečene

i stuttered unfinished phrases

i gledao u usne napučene

and stared at pouted lips

a ni ti nisi imala bolju viziju

and you didnt have a better vision

u mene si gledala k'o u televiziju

you looked at me like at a television
