LyricsTranslations

Ruzica si bila,
Jedna u mom srcu.
Ruzica si bila,
Moja!
Al nije za tebe
Divlja kupina,
Ni covek kao ja.

Bog mi daje,
Bog mi odnosi,
Ruzica si bila,
Sada vise nisi.
S’ vremena na vrijeme,
Kao da cujem stope,
K’o da ides preko mog praga.
S’ vremena na vrijeme,
A znam da nemam prava,
Nisi vise moja draga.

Letjele su nocas,
Iznad moga krova,
Letjele su ptice,
Selice!
A ja sam sanjao
Tvoja koljena
I tvoje poljpce.

Bog mi daje,
Bog mi odnosi,
Ruzica si bila,
Sada vise nisi.
S’ vremena na vrijeme,
Kao da cujem stope,
K’o da ides preko mog praga.
S’ vremena na vrijeme,
A znam da nemam prava,
Ti nisi vise moja draga.
Ti nisi vise moja draga.

English Translation

You Were A Rose

You were a rose,
the one in my heart.
You were a rose,
Mine!
But wild blackberry
is not for you
Nor is a man like me

God gives,
God takes away
You were a rose
You’re not any more
From time to time,
I think I hear footsteps,
like you’re walking across my doorstep
From time to time
And I know I have no right
You’re not my sweetheart anymore.

They were flying last night
above my roof
Birds were flying,
Migratory birds!
And I was dreaming
of your knees
and your kisses.

God gives,
God takes away
You were a rose
You’re not any more
From time to time,
I think I hear footsteps,
like you’re walking across my doorstep
From time to time
And I know I have no right
You’re not my sweetheart anymore.
You’re not my sweetheart anymore.
