Translation of the song Život artist Jacques Houdek
Život
Life
Ti si tek sretno dijete
You're just a happy child
S glavom u školskoj torbi
With your head in the school bag
A meni tridesete
And my thirties
Prošle u vječnoj borbi
Passed by in the eternal struggle
Svima da udovoljim
To indulge everyone
Samo se time bavim
That's all I do
Za nas da nešto stvorim
To create something for us
I kruh na stol da stavim
And put bread on the table
I tako dan za danom
And so day by day
Gdje god me život šalje
Where ever life sends me
S ponekom novom ranom
With a new wound here and there
Al´ ipak moram dalje
But still I must go on
Ništa mi teško nije
Nothing is hard for me
Za tebe sve bih dao
I would give everything for you
Sve tajne svijet što krije
All the secrets that the world hides
Eh, kad bih barem znao
Oh, if only I knew those
Ali, strah me, jer odgovore
But, I'm scared, cause
Ne znam ti dati baš sve
I can't give you each and every answer
[Refren]
[Refrain]
Što je vrijeme? Zašto leti?
What is time? Why does it fly by?
Što je sreća? Čim se mjeri?
What is happiness? What do you measure it with?
Što je ljubav? Daj me sjeti
What is love? Come on, remind me
Što je život u vjeri?
What is life in faith?
Ostaje tajna do zadnjeg dana
It remains a secret till the last day
Mali smo dio većega plana
We are a small portion of a greater plan
A svaki dan novi je dar
And each new day is a new gift
Za tebe nova prilika
A new chance for you
Da budeš bolji nego ja
To be better than I am
Ko' priča preduboka
Like a story too deep
Kad svome kraju dođe
When it comes to an end
Brzo, ko' treptaj oka
Quickly, in a blink of an eye
Život kroz prste prođe
Life goes through your fingers
Kad blijedi mjesec zađe
When the pale moon sets
Sunce će opet sjati
Sun will shine again
A duša mir kad nađe
And when a soul finds peace
U trenu bol će stati
Pain will cease in an instant
Ali, ipak, odgovore
But, still, the answers
Nitko od nas ne zna sve
None of us has them all
[Refren]
[Refrain]
Što je vrijeme? Zašto leti?
What is time? Why does it fly by?
Što je sreća? Čim se mjeri?
What is happiness? What do you measure it with?
Što je ljubav? Daj me sjeti
What is love? Come on, remind me
Što je život u vjeri?
What is life in faith?
Ostaje tajna do zadnjeg dana
It remains a secret till the last day
Mali smo dio većega plana
We are a small portion of a greater plan
A svaki dan novi je dar
And each new day is a new gift
Za tebe nova prilika
A new chance for you
Da budeš bolji nego ja
To be better than I am
