Another song Serbian to English

[kellybanana]

Great thanks to anyone who can translate this:


Blizina je ime na usnama
Kad tela nemogu blize
I slike u mojim rukama
Kada me secanje stize

Blizina je kad nisi tu a zivis u meni
I lice ti nevidim
Al srcem zemlju okreni

Na kraju sveta negde daleko
Na vetru gori jos moja sveca
Samo za mene pali je neko
Ko me voli, ko me se seca

Daleko negde tamo daleko
Ti moja zvezda si a u nizu
Tamo mi je ostao neko
Da mi bude zauvek blizu

Blizina je kad nekog izgubis
A duse se pronadju same
I sjaj u mojim ocima
Kad mi spustis glavu na rame

Blizina je kad nisi tu a zivis u meni
I lice ti nevidim
Al srcem zemlju okreni

(Nevena)
(Jabuke su crvene
Devojke su rumene
Jabuke se ubrale
Devojke se udale

Puce puska milane
Puce puska dragane
Dodji nocas po mene)

Na kraju sveta negde daleko
Na vetru gori jos moja sveca
Samo za mene pali je neko
Ko me voli, ko me se seca

Daleko negde tamo daleko
Ti moja zvezda si a u nizu
Tamo mi je ostao neko
Da mi bude zauvek blizu

[Angelus]

Zvezde Granda (Stars of Grand), Nevena Paripovic and Saban Bajramovic- Tamo Daleko ( Somewhere, Far

away)

Blizina je ime na usnama /closeness is the name on the lips
Kad tela nemogu blize /when bodies can't be close
I slike u mojim rukama /and the pictures in my hands
Kada me secanje stize /when my memories haunt me

Blizina je kad nisi tu /closeness is when you are not here
a zivis u meni /but you live inside me
I lice ti nevidim /and i don't see your face
Al srcem zemlju okreni /but i travel the world with my heart

Na kraju sveta negde daleko /at the end of the world, somewhere far
Na vetru gori jos moja sveca /despite the wind, my candle still burns
Samo za mene pali je neko /someone lights it only for me
Ko me voli, ko me se seca /someone who loves me, who hasn't forgotten me

Daleko negde tamo daleko / somewhere far, there, far away
Ti moja zvezda si a u nizu /my star shines
Tamo mi je ostao neko /there i left someone
Da mi bude zauvek blizu /to be forever close to me

Blizina je kad nekog izgubis /closeness is when you lose someone
A duse se pronadju same /but your souls find each other on their own
I sjaj u mojim ocima /and in the light of my eyes
Kad mi spustis glavu na rame /when you rest your head on my shoulder

Blizina je kad nisi tu a zivis u meni/closeness is when you are not here but live inside me
I lice ti nevidim /and i don't see your face
Al srcem zemlju okreni /but i travel the world with my heart

(Nevena)
(Jabuke su crvene /apples are red
Devojke su rumene /girls are erubescent
Jabuke se ubrale /apples were picked up
Devojke se udale /girls were married

Puce puska milane /a gun was shot Milane*
Puce puska dragane /a gun was shot Dragane*
Dodji nocas po mene) /come take me tonight

Na kraju sveta negde daleko /at the end of the world, somewhere far
Na vetru gori jos moja sveca /despite the wind, my candle still burns
Samo za mene pali je neko /someone lights it only for me
Ko me voli, ko me se seca /someone who loves me, who hasn't forgotten me

Daleko negde tamo daleko / somewhere far, there, far away
Ti moja zvezda si a u nizu /my star shines
Tamo mi je ostao neko /there i left someone
Da mi bude zauvek blizu /to be forever close to me

* Dragan and Milen are names for men, in eastern europe when you turn to speak to the person, you add an 'e' at the end of the name......well some names anyway...others are ended with different letters btu that we'll cover in the next song you post enjoy

Hi Angelus,

I am soooooooooo grateful for your help in translating this song. I really cannot express it in words. You are a star! I'll pray that you are repaid for your generosity.

What do you think the lyrics mean when they say "a gun was shot milane"? Does that mean that he was shot? And why would he be shot?

Thanks again!!!! You are brilliant!

Kelly

[Angelus]

hun, my pleasure dont mention it, if there is any more you want, bring it on. im not serbian myself so some lines take me a while to figure in terms of meaning ,but i have double checked them with people who speak proper serbian a gun was shot is not that he was shot, its that the gun went off, like you are sitting at home and hear a gun shot fired though im not sure what its doin in the text..ill try and get hold of someone who knows the story behind the lyrics fingers crossed lol

I heard Skadarlija sing this very old song on You Tube. Can anyone translate these lyrics? Thank you for your help.

Na kraj sela cadjava mehana
Iz nje viri kosa ne cesljana,
Ne cesljana od silnoga pica
To je kuca seoskih mladica.

Iz kafane pijan ja izlazim
Cudnovate ulice nalazim,
Levo desno nigde moga stana
Oj,ulice i ti si pijana.

Gle meseca sto se nakrivio
Na jedno je oko zazmurio,
A drugo je sasvim zatvorio
Sram ga bilo i on se napio.

Ko to lupa na moj prozor tako
Zar vi momci ne znate polako,
Moj milenko lego je da spava
Od te lupe zabole ga glava.
