To Yourself

When your mind is full
You can listen to my heart beating
When your burden is heavy
You can take refuge in me
 
Ask me what keeps me going
It's achievements and distances
When a leaf goes with the wind and resists it
I go with the flow and resist it
 
The stars are not always visible
Stay true to yourself
Don't tell me to forgive you 1
 
There are tears in your eyes
Let them keep falling
When our wishes differ
You accept me and I accept you
 
Look at me...
... that everything has a meaning 2
 
Eternity and this planet are not friends
I, as well, am but a snowflake that's waiting for spring to come
 
The stars are not always visible
Stay true to yourself
Don't tell me to forgive you
 
You needn't prove yourself
The same tears and the same fear bind us
 
The stars are not always visible
Stay true to yourself
Don't tell me to forgive you
 
  • 1. If the Slovene lyrics had a comma in them ("Ne govori mi, oprosti"), the meaning of this verse would change to: Don't speak to me, forgive me
  • 2. Maybe Zala sings "Poglej me, ni nujno da ima vse pomen", which would mean: Look at me, not everything has to have a meaning - NB: The original lyrics in Slovene had a part of this verse missing (February 17, 2019)

Thank you so much for appreciating my translation, and even more for appreciating this song, it is very poetic and atmospheric, and Slovene is a beautiful language for it to be sung in. :D
