Stranger, stranger in a strange land.
He looked at me like I was the one who should run.
We asked him to smile for a photograph
Waited a while to see if we could make him laugh.
The soldier asked for a cigarette
His smiling face I can’t forget.
He looked at me across the street
But that’s a long way here.
Oh, and I wish you were here.
Oh, and I wish you were here.
Stranger, stranger in a strange land.
He looked at me like I was the one who should run.
I watched as he watched us get back on the bus
I watched the way it was
The way it was when he was with us
And I really don’t mind sleeping on the floor
But I couldn’t sleep after what I saw
I wrote this letter to tell you the way I feel.
Oh I wish you were here
Oh I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here.
Prevod na srpski
Stranac u stranoj zemlji
Stranac, stranac u stranoj zemlji.
Pogledao me je kao da sam ja taj koji treba da beži.
Zamolili smo ga da se nasmeši za fotografiju
Neko vreme čekali da vidimo da li ćemo ga uspeti nasmejati.
Vojnik je zatražio cigaretu
Ne mogu da zaboravim njegovo nasmešeno lice.
Pogledao me je s druge strane ulice
Ali to je daleko odavde.
Oh, a voleo bih da si tu.
Oh, a voleo bih da si tu.
Stranac, stranac u stranoj zemlji.
Pogledao me je kao da sam ja taj koji treba da beži.
Gledao sam kako nas je posmatrao kako se vraćamo u bus.
Posmatrao sam kako je bilo
Kako je bilo kada je s nama bio
I stvarno mi ne smeta da spavam na podu
Ali nakon onoga što sam video, spavati nisam mogao
Ovo pismo sam napisao da bih ti ispričao kako se osećam
Oh voleo bih da si tu.
Oh voleo bih da si tu.
Da vidiš ono što sam ja video
Da čuješ
I, voleo bih da si tu.
