Što mi to treba
What Do I Need It For
Gledao sam njenu bračnu idilu:voljeni joj glavu držaše u krilui nejačad onu brbljavu i milu,tada srce svoje osjetih u bilu.
I saw her married idyll, happy as could be:her loved one gently held her head upon his knee,the little children, chattering, so sweet to see,and then I felt my heart start pounding inside me.
Uspomene naše iz prošlosti budim.Zbog ljubavi njene, zar moram da ludim?Ja joj ljubav svoju još i dalje nudim,i srcu se svome sve to više čudim.
I wake the memories of our distant past.For love of her, must I now go mad at last?I offer her my love, and still I'm holding fast,and at my heart I wonder, more and more aghast.
Kako ljubav njenu, sada da odolimi svu patnju moju kako da prebolim,zar da mutim sreću, onome kog volim.Oh, pomozi, bože, iskreno te molim.
How can I stand against her love, and not give way,and how get over all my suffering someday?Must I then cast a shadow on my loved one's day?Oh, help me, God above, sincerely now I pray.
I dok ljubav njena moje srce vreba,razum mi govori što mi sve to treba.Dotle sreću svoju ja bacam sa neba,zar da takav život živim do pogreba.
And while her love lies waiting for my heart nearby,my reason asks: what do I need it for, and why?Meanwhile I fling my happiness down from the sky:must I live such a life until the day I die?
