Draga uspomena
A Cherished Memory
Nikad više neću ljubit mile oči.I nikada više mrsit tvoju kosu,niti tijelo tvoje milovat u noći,ni s usana tvojih piti mednu rosu.
I'll never kiss again your dear and gentle eyes,and never more will I run fingers through your hair,nor in the night caress your body where it lies,nor ever drink the honeyed dew your lips would share.
Ti nikada više nećeš meni doći.Možda ti je drugi sad od mene draži.Da tu bol izdržim, da l' ću snage smoći?U tu ljubav svoju utkala si laži.
You'll come to me no more; you will not come again.Perhaps another's dearer to you now than I.Will I find strength enough to bear so great a pain?You wove into your love for me a hidden lie.
I tu patnju moju, tko će da opiše?Kao da po vatri gaze noge bose.Oh, ljubavi mila, ja te nemam više!Još jedino snovi mene tebi nose.
And this my suffering: who could describe it, who?It is as if bare feet were treading burning ground.Oh, love, my dearest love, I am no more with you!And only in my dreams to you am I still bound.
I svu bol i suze, što mi srce rani.Kada tebe sretnem, bit ćeš tuđa žena.I sva ljubav naša i svi sretni dani,za mene će biti draga uspomena.
And all the pain and tears that leave my heart so sore;when next I meet you, you'll be someone else's wife.And all our love, and all the happy days before,for me will be a cherished memory, all my life.
