Translation of the song Amerika artist Plavi Orkestar

Dugo te, dugo nema

For long you, you've been gone for long

i čini mi se da

and to me it seems that

za tebe ja sam sjena

for you I am a shadow

trag prošlog vremena

a trace of a past time

Hej, ti ne znaš kako je

Hey, you don't know how it is

biti sasvim sam

to be completely alone

hej, k'o sreće prosjak

hey, like a beggar of happiness

živjeti dan za dan

to live day for day

dan za da

day for day

Ref.

Chorus

Amerika je velika, velika i široka

America is big, big and wide

al' da mi je ponovo do tvoje avlije

But for me it's again to your yard*

Amerika je velika, velika i široka

America is big, big and wide

al' da mi je ponovo, da se zapjeva

But for me it's again to be sung*

da se popije srca velika

to be drunk of a big heart*

Amerika

America

Dugo te, dugo nema

For long you, you've been gone for long

ja više nisam svoj

I am not yours anymore

dugo se, dugo spremam

For long, I prepared for long

da zavrtim tvoj broj

to dial your number

Hej, ti ne znaš kako je

Hey, you don't know how it is

srce gorilo

for a heart to burn

hej, i kako bi se

hey, and how it would

ponovo borilo, za nas

fight again, for us
