Bosnian

Nemam ja 18 godina

Zatvori oci zelenooka
nocas opet igra stari film
ti si ta glavna uloga
a ja, ja ne postojim, mene nema

i neka bude sto biti mora
al' bez suza i velikih rijeci
predugo gledah u sunce
kao da to ne zna opeci

al' jos bih s tvojih dlanova
vode popio
i kao nekada led otopio
i ovom ljevicom te zaprosio, mala moja
al' je za to prekasno

nemam ja onih osamnaest godina
ni mac u grudima
da bih opet sve iz pocetka
nemam ja milion sudbina
pa zar nije dovoljna ova jedna
tako bijedna

od nove boli stara ce proci
ne tako davno sam slusao o tom'
jedno su samo puste rijeci
a drugo se kruni u srcu mom

nemam ja onih osamnaest godina
ni mac u grudima
da bih opet sve iz pocetka
nemam ja milion sudbina
pa zar nije dovoljna ova jedna
tako bijedna

English

I'm not 18 anymore

Close your eyes, green-eyed girl
Tonight is playing that old movie again
You are the leading character
And me, I don't exist, I'm nowhere

And let be, what has to be
But without tears and big words
I was watching the sun for too long
Like that doesn't burn

But I would still, out of the palm of your hand,
Drink water
And like before, melt ice
And with this left hand, propose to you, my darling
But it is to late for that

I'm not 18 (years) anymore
Nor do I have the strength in my heart
To do everything all over
I don't have a million destinies
Isn't this one enough
One so poor/humble

With new pain, the old pain will disappear
Not so long ago I heard about that
A part is just empty words
And the other, is crowning in my heart

I'm not 18 (years) anymore
Nor do I have the strength in my heart
To do everything all over
I don't have a million destinies
Isn't this one enough
One so poor/humble
