Ko fina prašina u oku
Sitan kamen na dnu cipele
Ko fitilj zarobljen u vosku
Mislim na tebe
Da mogu smrvio bih kamen
I svu bi tugu oči same isprale
A niti vezane za plamen
Moraju da sagore

Ako me nosiš na duši
I nemaš s kime sagraditi dom
Ako me nosiš na dusi
Vjeruj mila briga me za to

Ljubim druge a ne osjećam
I svaki dodir mi je ko da ustajem
Na nogu što mi je utrnula
Bez ljubavi, nadanja, bez tebe
Ne ide.

English Translation

If I weigh on your conscience

Like a fine dust in the eye
A small stone at the bottom of my shoe
Like a wick stuck in wax
I’m thinking about you
If I could, I’d crush the stone
And my eyes would wash all the sorrow away
But threads tied to a flame
Must burn away

If I weigh on your conscience
And you have no one to build a home with
If I weigh on your conscience
Trust me, honey, I do not care.

I’m kissing others, but I don’t feel
And every touch is like standing
On a foot that’s gone numb
Without love, hope, without you
It’s not working.
