Dino Merlin – Nemam ja 18 godina

Zatvori oči, zeleno-oka
Noćas opet igra stari film
Ti si ta glavna uloga
A ja? Ja ne postojim, mene nema

I neka bude, što biti mora
Al’ bez suza i velikih rječi
Predugo gledah u sunce
Kao da to nezna opeći!

A još 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 mač u grudima
Da bih opet, sve iz početka!
Nemam ja milijon sudbina
Pa zar nije dovoljna ova jedna, tako bjedna?

Od nove boli stara će proći
Ne tako davno sam slušao o tom’
Jedno su samo puste rječi,
A drugo se kruni u srcu mom

Nemam ja onih osamnaest godina
Ni mač u grudima
Da bih opet, sve iz početka
Nemam ja milijon sudbina
Pa zar nije dovoljna ova jedna, tako bjedna?

English Translation

I’m Not Eighteen Anymore

Close your eyes, green-eyed girl
Tonight, the old movie is on again
You’re the one, the lead role
And me? I don’t exist, I’m gone

Whatever will be, will be
But without big tears and big words
I’ve looked into the sun for too long
as if that can’t burn!

And I’d still drink water from your palms
and melt ice like in the old times
and, with this left hand, propose to you, my little one.

But it’s too late for that!

I’m not eighteen anymore
nor do I still have the sword in my chest
so that I’d do it all over again!
I don’t have million destinies
Isn’t this one, such miserable one, enough?

New pain will make the old one go away
Not so long ago, I heard about it
Empty words are one thing
and another is breaking into pieces in my heart

I’m not eighteen anymore
nor do I still have the sword in my chest
so that I’d do it all over again!
I don’t have million destinies
Isn’t this one, such miserable one, enough?
