LyricsTranslations

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It’s the voice of hope, it’s the voice of peace,
it’s the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They’re the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves,
it’s the heart of every man.

It’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.

Prevod pesme

Iz daleka

Iz daleka, svet je plavo zelena lopta,
sa belim snežnim planinskim vrhovima
Iz daleka, okean potok susreće,
a orao se letu odaje.

Iz daleka, tu je harmonija
i kroz zemlju odjekuje
To je glas nade, to je glas mira,
to je glas svakog čoveka.

Iz daleka, svi imamo dovoljno,
i niko ne oskudeva.
I nema pušaka, nema bombi, i nema bolesti,
nema gladnih usta koja treba nahraniti.

Iz daleka, mi smo instrumenti
što marširaju u istom orkestru.
Sviramo pesme o nadi, sviramo o miru.
To su pesme svakog čoveka.
Bog nas gleda. Bog nas gleda.
Bog nas gleda iz daleka.

Iz daleka, ličiš na mog prijatelja,
iako smo u ratu.
Iz daleka, prosto ne mogu da shvatim
koji je smisao svih tih borbi.

Iz daleka, tu je harmonija
i kroz zemlju odjekuje
i to je nada nad nadama, ljubav nad ljubavima,
to je suština svakog čoveka.

To je nada nad nadama, ljubav nad ljubavima,
Ovo je pesma svakog čoveka
A Bog nas gleda, Bog nas gleda,
Bog nas gleda iz daleka.
Oh, Bog nas gleda, Bog nas gleda.
Bog nas gleda iz daleka.

Nanci Griffith – From A Distance
