The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There’s no room
No space to rent in this town
You’re out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you’re not moving anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It’s a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
You’re on the road
But you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over
And it’s been all over you
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
It’s a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I’m not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I’m not a hopeless case
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now
Was a beautiful day
Prevod na srpski
Predivan dan
Srce je cvet
izniče iz kamena
Nema soba
Nema prostora da se iznajmi u ovom gradu
Nemaš sreće
I ono na šta si morala obratiti pažnju
Saobraćaj je zagušen
I ti ne ideš nigde
Mislila si da ćeš naći druga
da te odvede odavde
nekog kome bi mogla pružiti pomoć
U zamenu za ljubaznost
Prelep je dan
Nebo propada, ti se osećaš kao da
je prelep dan
Nemoj da ti promakne
Ti si na putu
ali nemaš odredište
Ti si u blatu
U lavirintu njene mašte
Ti voliš ovaj grad
čak i ako to ne zvuči istinito
Bilo te je svuda
i on je bio svuda po tebi
Prelep je dan
Nemoj da ti promakne
Prelep je dan
Dodirni me
odvedi me tamo negde
Nauči me
Znam da nisam beznadežan slučaj
Vidi svet u zeleno plavom
Vidi Kinu tu pred očima
Vidi kanjone presečene oblakom
Vidi jata tunja kako prečišćavaju more
Vidi noćne beduinske vatre
Vidi naftna polja pri prvoj svetlosti
i vidi pticu sa listom u kljunu
Nakon potopa, sve boje su se pojavile
Bio je prelep dan
Ne daj mu da pobegne
Prelep dan
Dodirni me
Odvedi me tamo negde
Dosegni me
Znam da nisam beznadežan slučaj
Ono što nemaš sada ti ne treba
Ono što ne znaš možeš nekako osetiti
Ono što nemaš sada ti ne treba
sada ti ne treba
Bio je prelep dan
