Translation of the song Zaustavite Januar artist Željko Samardžić

Zaustavite januar da ne prođe mi decembar

Stop the January so December doesn’t come

i Novu godinu, nema šta da traži tu

And the New year, it has nothing to do here

dok je Stara još na mome ramenu

While the old one is still on my shoulder.

Zaustavite januar, nek ponovi se decembar

Chorus:

bar 12 puta još, neće da mi dosadi

Stop the January, let December repeat itself

to je bio mesec naše ljubavi

At least 12 times, it won’t bore me,

zaustavite januar

That was the month of our love,

Večer dugih haljina

It’s the night of long dresses,

u očima ti lažni tirkiza sjaj

In your eyes there’s deceitful turquoise sparkle,

novome se raduješ

You are excited about someone new,

od svega starog to je oproštaj

That means a goodbye to everything that’s past.

Ubrajam li se i ja u to

Do you count me in in all of that?

zar tuga sela je tu za moj stol

Does it mean that sadness is sitting at the table with me?

u čaši maslina pala je na dno

In the glass there’s an olive,

srce za njom potonulo

My heart sunk down with it.

Ref.

Chorus.

Ti sa svima ljubiš se

You’re kissing everyone,

hiljadu je želja, a jedan mrak

There’s a thousand wishes, but only one darkness,

novi ljudi zovu te

New people are calling you,

od svega starog to je rastanak

From everything that’s past that’s a farewell.

Ref.

Chorus:
