Lyrics

The Awakening

In the early dawn of happiness
you gave me three kisses
so that I would wake up
to this moment of love

I tried to remember in my heart
what I’d dreamt about
during the night
before I became aware
of this moving
of life

I found my dreams
but the moon took me away
It lifted me up to the firmament
and suspended me there
I saw how my heart had fallen
on your path
singing a song

Between my love and my heart
things were happening which
slowly slowly
made me recall everything

You amuse me with your touch
although I can’t see your hands.
You have kissed me with tenderness
although I haven’t seen your lips
You are hidden from me.

But it is you who keeps me alive

Perhaps the time will come
when you will tire of kisses
I shall be happy
even for insults from you
I only ask that you
keep some attention on me.

Buđenje

U ranu zoru sreće
tri si mi poljupca podario
da bih se probudio
u ovom trenutku ljubavi

Pokušao sam da se setim u srcu
šta sam sanjao
tokom te noći
pre nego što sam postao svestan
ovog kretanja
života

Našao sam svoje snove
ali mesec odneo me
Podigao me do nebeskog svoda
i tamo me okačio
Video sam kako je moje srce palo
na tvoj put
pevajući jednu pesmu

Između moje ljubavi i mog srca
dešavale su se stvari koje
lagano lagano
podsetiše me na sve

Zabavljaš me svojim dodirom
iako ti  ne vidim ruke.
Ljubio si me nežnošću
iako tvoje usne ne videh
Skriven si od mene.

Ali ti si taj koji u životu drži me.

Možda će doći vreme
kad od poljubaca umorićeš se
Biću srećan
čak i sa tvojim uvredama
Samo tražim da mi
posvetiš malo pažnje.

English

Surrender

In love, nothing is eternal but drinking your wine,
There is no reason for bringing my life to you,
other then losing it.
I said “I just want to know you, and then disappear”
She said,”Knowing me does not mean dying”

Defeated By Love
The sky was lit
by the splendor of the moon
So powerful
I fell to the ground
Your love
has made me sure
I am ready to forsake
this worldly life
and surrender
to the magnificence
of your Being

Lost In The Wilderness
Oh lovers, where are you going?
Who are you looking for?
Your beloved is right here.
She lives in your own neighborhood.
Her face is veiled.
She hides behind screens calling for you,
while you search and lose yourself
in the wilderness and the desert.
Cease looking for flowers,
there blooms a garden in your own home.
While you go looking for trinkets,
your treasure house awaits you
in your own being.
There is no need for suffering, God is here!

Prevod na srpski

Predaja

U ljubavi, ništa večno nije do ispijanja tvog vina,
Nema razloga da ti donosim svoj život,
osim da ga izgubim ja.
Rekao sam  “Samo hoću da te upoznam, pa da iščeznem”
Rekla je,“Poznavanje mene ne znači umiranje”

Ljubavlju poraženo
Nebo je bilo obasjano
sjajem mesečevim
Tako moćnim
da na zemlju sam pao
Tvoja ljubav
me je uverila
da sam spreman da se odreknem
ovozemaljskog života
i da se predam
veličanstvenosti
tvog bića

Izgubljeni u divljini
Oh ljubavnici, gde ćete?
Koga tražite?
Vaši voljeni su ovde.
Ona živi u tvom kraju.
Lice joj je prekriveno velom.
Krije se iza paravana, a doziva te,
dok ti tražiš i gubiš se
u divljini pustinje.
Prestani da tragaš za cvećem,
u tvom sopstvenom domu bašta cveta.
Dok okolo tražiš tričarije,
tvoja kuća sa blagom čeka te
u tvom sopstvenom biću.
Nema potrebe za patnjom, Bog je tu!
