Rodilo se u dalekoj zemlji
jedno malo srce kao cvijet
ostalo je s majkom da se voli
otiš’o sam ja u svijet
Život je lijep, Helene Marie
a dani idu, sve smo dalje mi
kako ste sad mama i ti
i da l’ ponekad pričate o meni
Život je lijep, Helene Marie
ja ne razumijem sve što hoćeš ti
pokušaj sad bar riječi dvije
nauči pa mi kaži volim te
Život je lijep, Helene Marie
a ti se nisi nasmijala još
ne plači sad jer ja sam tu
i sve će bolje biti jednog dana
Život je lijep, Helene Marie
mala si još, a hoćeš sve da znaš
ja idem sad, idi i ti
i kaži barem ono oui, oui, oui
English Translation
Life Is Beautiful, Helene Marie
It was born in a faraway land
The little sweetheart
stayed to share love with her mom
and I went off into the world
Life is beautiful, Helene Marie
and days go by, the farther we are from each other
how are you and your mom doing
and do you two sometimes talk about me
Life is beautiful, Helene Marie
I don’t understand everything you want
try to at least learn two words
and than tell me that you love me
Life is beautiful, Helene Marie
and you still haven’t smiled yet
don’t cry now ’cause I’m here
and everything will be better one day
Life is beautiful, Helene Marie
you are still a little girl, and you want to know everything
I’m leaving now, you leave too
and say at least that yes, yes, yes
