Strašan vuk je po šumi jednom trčao,
Crvenkapa nije znala kud.
Strašan vuk je čuo korak njen,
Crvenkapa biće njegov plen,
cveće cvalo je svuda,
u šumi beše hlad.
Stara bakica i Crvenkapica slaviše rođendan.
Strašan vuk je čuo korak njen,
Crvenkapa biće njegov plen.

To mama pričati zna,
dok deca nisu još zla.
Ta priča divna, al’ strašna je sva,
nju rado slušaju pre sna.

Već tamna pala je noć,
treba na spavanje poć’.
Al’ deca usnula nisu još znaj,
jer divnoj priči nije kraj.

Hrabri lugar tu je prošao šumom ljut,
tragom vuka vodio ga put.
Hrabri lugar čim je ušao u bakin dom,
shvatio je šta je bilo s njom.
I s nožem kao od šale vuka raseče gle,
staru bakicu i Crvenkapicu spasao sudbe zle.
I tada srećni dele radost redom svi,
rođendanski kolač pojeli.

Little Red Riding Hood

A scary wolf once roamed the forest,
A Little Red Riding Hood didn’t know where to go.
The scary wolf heard her footstep,
Red Riding Hood will be his prey,
flowers have bloomed everywhere,
and it was cold in the woods.
Old Granny and Red Riding Hood where celebrating a birthday.
The scary wolf heard her footstep,
Red Riding Hood will be his prey.

Mom used to tell us this story,
when the children were not evil yet.
That wonderful story, but scary all together,
they’d rather listen to her before bedtime.

Night has already fallen,
it’s time to go to bed.
But know that the children have not fallen asleep yet,
because the wonderful story is not over.

A brave forester madly passed by the woods,
he followed the wolf’s trail.
The moment the brave forester entered granny’s home,
he understood what happened to her.
And as if it’s a game, he slashed the wolf with his knife, behold,
he saved granny and Red Riding Hood from an evil destiny.
And then they were happy, sharing the joy with everyone else,
they ate the birthday cake.

Jednom negde beše krčma mala
tako često sedeli smo tu.
Naša ljubav činila se večna,
život je pred nama bio dug.

Seti se ljubavi, seti se prošlosti
uz onaj ples što beše samo naš.
Bili smo rešeni da ćemo ostati
jedno uz drugo dok traje ovaj svet.

Godine su prošle tako brzo,
nesvesno poželeh, dragi moj,
da te opet sretnem u toj krčmi,
Još sam mlada rekoh sebi to.

Znala sam da jednom moraš doći,
spazih te i beše jasno tad,
u tvom srcu kao i u mome
stari snovi isti su i sad.

Those Were the Days

Somewhere, there was once a small inn,
we sat there very often.
Our love seemed eternal,
it was a long life in front of us.

Remember the love, remember the past
along with that dance that was only ours,
We were determined that we will stay
together till this world lasts.

The years have gone by so fast,
I unconsciously wished, my dear,
to meet you again in that inn,
I told myself that I’m still younger.

I knew that you’ll have to come once,
I saw you and then it was clear
the old dreams are the same even now
in your heart, just like in mine.

Ako hoćeš da te volim,
Ti zaboravi na sve,
Na sve laže uz sva lutka
Ili lutaj kao pre.

Jer i ja imam,
Ja imam pravo na ljubav
Nežnu i čistu kao stih.

Jer i ja imam,
Ja imam pravo na sreću,
Dugo je čekam, kao i ti.

Ako hoćeš da te volim,
Ti promeni život svoj.
Nek’ te traže, nek’ te mame,
Al’ ti budeš samo moj.

English Translation

If You Want Me to Love You

If you want me to love you,
Then find the right path.
Don’t play with me
Or else everything is in vain.

If you want me to love you,
Then forget everything,
On all of the lies along with all of the girls
Or wander like before

‘Cause even I have,
Even I have the right in love
Gentle and pure as a verse.

‘Cause even I have,
Even I have the right in happiness,
I was waiting for it a long time, like you.

If you want me to love you,
Then change your life.
May they look for you, may your mom (search for you),
But you be only mine.
