Kažu da si budna i da strepiš
Koji će me jadi snaći danas
Da l’ će neko pogledat’ me krivo
Da li mogu mirno sniti noćas
Nemaj straha umiri se draga
Od utvare to ti srce zebe
Ipak tako propio se nisam
Da bih umro ne vidjevši tebe
Piši stara mati
O svemu što ponekad te boli
K’o ti umorno lice gleda
K’o te tješi kada ti to treba
A kad dođe zima i kad je snijeg
Kad bijela bura grad opusti
Donijeću ti srce kao brijeg
I oči pune radosti
Al’ nikad više neće bit’ po starom
Ja sam prvu ljubav prebolio davno
Ako kažeš k’o je sada ljubi
Nemoj stara,nemoj reći glasno
English Translation
A Letter to My Mother
They’re saying that you are awake and worried
What troubles may find me today
Will somebody give me a dirty look
Can I dream peacefully tonight
Don’t fear, calm down my dear
Your heart shivers from phantoms
Yet I haven’t become such a drunk
That I would die without seeing you
Write to your old mom
about everything that hurts you sometimes
Who’s watching your tired face?
Who comforts you when you need it
But when winter comes and when there’s snow
When the white storm relaxes the city
I will bring my heart to you as a crest
And eyes full of joy
But it will never be the way it was before
I got over my first love a long time ago
If you say who’s loving her now
Mother, don’t, don’t say it out loud
