LyricsTranslations

Pred nama put i iza nas,
kao stari drug, kao pas,
kao što oblak još prati sjena,
kao lovac, k’o vjerna žena.

Kad odu svi,u kasni sat
s nama samo još vinski brat,
prođe ponoć i kiša pada
ona kuca na vrata grada.

Nada, kad je kasni film pri kraju,
nada, kad se gosti opraštaju,
nada, ulice kad utonu u san.
Sve gasne, samo gori nada.

Pred nama put, oko nas mrak
kao putokaz, kao znak
malo svjetlo, dom u planini,
glas iz tame, grom u daljini.

Nada…

Nada, zadnja slika, zadnji prizor
nada, kad se gasi televizor
nada, s mukom kada dočekamo dan,
svi kasne, ali nikad nada.
Ali nikad nada.

English Translation

Hope

A road ahead and behind us,
like an old friend, like a dog,
like a cloud still followed by a shadow,
like a hunter, like a faithful wife.

When everybody leaves, at a late hour,
only our drinking pal still with us,
it’s gone midnight and it’s raining,
she knocks on the city door

Hope, when the late movie is ending,
hope, when guests are leaving.
hope, when the streets are sleeping
Everything fades but hope.

A road ahead of us, darkness around us
like a beacon, like a sign
a small light, home in the mountains,
a voice in the dark, thunder in the distance.

Hope…

Hope, the last image, the last scene
hope, when we turn the TV off
hope, when we dread the day ahead
everybody runs late, but never hope.
But never hope.
