Translation of the song Ružica artist Goran Bregović
Ružica
Little Rose
Ružica si bila jedna u mom srcu
You were a little rose, one in my heart
Ružica si bila moja
You were a little rose, mine
Al' nije za tebe divlja kupina
But wild blackberry isn't for you
Ni čovjek kao ja
Nor a man like me
Bog mi daje, Bog mi odnosi
God gives me, God takes from me
Ružica si bila, sada više nisi
You were a little rose, but you are no longer
S vremena na vrijeme
From time to time
Kao da čujem stope
Like I hear the steps
K'o da ideš preko mog praga
As if you're going over my doorstep
S vremena na vrijeme
From time to time
Al' znam da nemam prava
But I know I have no rights
Ti nisi više moja draga
You're no longer my dear
Letjele su noćas iznad moga krova
They were flying tonight over my roof
Letjele su ptice selice
They were flying, migratory birds
A ja sam sanjao tvoja koljena
And I was dreaming about your knees
I tvoje poljupce
And your kisses
Bog mi daje, Bog mi odnosi
God gives me, God takes from me
Ružica si bila, sada više nisi
You were a little rose, but you are no longer
S vremena na vrijeme
From time to time
Kao da čujem stope
Like I hear the steps
K'o da ideš preko mog praga
As if you're going over my doorstep
S vremena na vrijeme
From time to time
Al' znam da nemam prava
But I know I have no rights
Ti nisi više moja draga
You're no longer my dear
