Original lyrics

Blue Eyes Unchanged

Across from me, on the bus this afternoon

a girl of age ninety, eyes of blue,

peering out from a body changed too soon

I saw the girl so charming in her youth.

Her hat reveals a woman of taste,

now, just to get off this bus, is a torturous fate.

She'll slowly make the way back to her place,

an apartment where no one awaits.

Blue eyes unchanged,

the body aged,

blue eyes you are my last witnesses, now.

Blue eyes unchanged,

the body aged,

blue eyes tell me what you wanted to be

when you grew up.

Blue eyes once reflected in her mother's gaze

on those summers as a child by the lake.

Blue eyes saw love's first embrace,

the boy down the road

I wonder if he's alive today.

Young girls go laughing past on the road,

no one pays attention to the old,

but, at least, we know justice will be served.

In the end everyone gets their turn.

Blue eyes unchanged,

the body aged,

blue eyes you are my last witnesses, now.

Blue eyes unchanged,

the body aged,

blue eyes tell me what you wanted to be

when you grew up.

Translation

Plave oči nepromenjene

preko puta mene, u autobusu ovog popodneva

devojka od devedeset godina

odbijajući da je vidim prerano ostarelu

videla sam u njoj devojcicu u cvetu mladosti

njen šešir je otkrivao ženu od ukusa

samo izaći iz ovog autobusa znači imati sudbinu kornjače

ona će se lagano vratiti na svoje mesto

u stan gde je niko ne čeka

plave oči nepromenjene

telo u godinama

plave oči su mi poslednji svedoci sada

plave oči nepromenjene

telo u godinama

plave oči mi govore šta je želela da bude

kad poraste

plave oči nekada ocrtane u pogledu majke

u leta koje je provodila pored jezera kao dete

plave oči su videle prvi zagrljaj ljubavi

dečka na kraju puta

pitam se da li je živ danas

mlade devojke su se zasmejale prolazeći

ni jedna nije obratila pažnju na staricu

ali bar znamo da će pravda biti zadovoljena

na kraju na svakoga dođe red

plave oči nepromenjene

telo u godinama

plave oči su mi poslednji svedoci sada

plave oči nepromenjene

telo u godinama

plave oči mi govore šta je želela da bude

kad poraste
