Can someone translate PTICA BIJELA from Dino please!??

Te noći kad ne budu igrale sjene
I kad voda ko zna koji put razbije stijene
I kad sve što je nekad bilo važno više ne bude
I kad te neke grube ruke snažno iz sna probude

Te noći kad meleci navrate po mene
Da me opet vrate natrag u bijele pelene
I kad raspletene kose drugom ti sjedneš u krilo
Ja ni tad neću ništa protiv tebe
Neću, gluho bilo

Kada jednom budem ja
K'o snijeg ptica bijela
Ne reci nikom da si me srela
A kamoli voljela
Kada jednom duša moja
Odleti od tijela
Ne reci nikom da si me žedna
Preko vode prevela

Can somebody translate it please:

Sanjam slijeces na moj prag
Ja prostirem svilen sag
Tvoje mokra stopala
Sad bi tako plesala

Sanjam kisu, crven krov
Da se budim kao nov
Sanjam davno sanjano
Sto mi nije sudjeno

Prsti djerdan za tvoj vrat
Gladne usne vode rat
I sve teze podnosim
Sto te vrijeme odnosi

Ide ko zna koja zima
Na put oko svijeta
Lazu te kad kazu da sam sretan

Laku noc, moja mala Barbiko
Dzaba sve, al' ja sam na te navik'o
Usnama slucajno ali srcem beskrajno

Prsti djerdan za tvoj vrat
Gladne usne vode rat
I sve teze podnosim
Sto te vrijeme odnosi

Ide ko zna koja zima
Na put oko svijeta
Lazu te kad kazu da sam sretan

Laku noc, moja mala Barbiko
Zalud sve, al' ja sam na te navik'o
Usnama slucajno ali srcem beskrajno

Thank you !!

Beautiful song!


Good Night My Little Barbie

I dream of you landing on my doorstep
I'm laying a silver carpet
Your wet feet
would love to dance now

I dream of rain, red roof
That I wake up as good as new
I dream long gone dreams
that I am not destined to

My fingers - your necklace
Hungry lips are in a war
And it's harder and harder to cope with
what the time brings

Who knows which Winter is starting
a trip around the world
They're lying to you when they say that I'm happy

Good night, my little Barbie
Everything is in vain, but I'm used to you
With my lips accidentally, but with my heart eternally

My fingers your necklace
Hungry lips are in a war
And it's harder and harder to cope with
what the time brings

Who knows which Winter is starting
a trip around the world
They're lying to you when they say that I'm happy

Good night, my little Barbie
Everything is in vain, but I'm used to you
With my lips accidentally, but with my heart eternally

Thanks so much!
I looooove this song And now I understand what he's singing....

Dino Merlin - Ptica Bijela ~ White bird

Te noći kad ne budu igrale sjene
That night when the shadows won't be playing
I kad voda ko zna koji put razbije stijene
And when water breaks stone for the innumerable time
I kad sve što je nekad bilo važno više ne bude
And when everything that once was important, isn't anymore
I kad te neke grube ruke snažno iz sna probude
And when some rough hands strongly wake you up from your dream

Te noći kad meleci navrate po mene
That night when the angels drop by for me
Da me opet vrate natrag u bijele pelene
To bring me back in white diapers again
I kad raspletene kose drugom ti sjedneš u krilo
And when you sit in someone else's lap with unraveled hair
Ja ni tad neću ništa protiv tebe
Nor then I won't have anything against you
Neću, gluho bilo
I won't, let it be unheared of

Kada jednom budem ja k'o snijeg ptica bijela
When I'll once be a bird as white as snow
Ne reci nikom da si me srela, a kamoli voljela
Don't tell anyone that you've met me, not to mention loved me
Kada jednom duša moja odleti od tijela
When once my soul flies away from my body
Ne reci nikom da si me žedna preko vode prevela
Don't tell anyone that you've outwit me

Da Sutis / to hold one's peace

Ente quavmi ente qulum fi hajati/you are my everything for ever (it's arabic,so i'm not sure if it's right)
(2x)

Svima reci da sam tu
tell everybody that i'm here
neka vide, neka cuju
they should see and hear
sta mi tijelo osjeca
what my body feels
neka novu struju
some new electricity

Slijepac za moju ceznju
don't be blind for my desire
samo nocas nemoj biti to
only tonight
ja znam da ti mozes puno bolje
i know that you can do it much better
naravno da znam ja to
i know that of course


Dobro je kad u zivotu
it's feels good when you in youre life
za nesto se boris, rukama stvoris
fight for something,and create with your own hands
dobro je kad u zivotu
it feels good when you in youre life
nekoga volis, neko te voli
love somebody,and somebody loves you
Dobro je kad u zivotu
it feels good when you in youre life
neko te sluti ti nekoga slutis
surmise someone,and someone surmises you
ali je nabolje kad u zivotu imas nekog
but it is the best when you have some one,with who you can
s kim mozes ovako da sutis
to hold one's peace(to be quiet)


Ne slaze se kalendar
the calenders
moga doba i tvoga tijela
of my age and your body doesn't fit together
ne idu ni s godinama tvojim
with your years doesn't fit
ove bore i kosa bijela
this furows and white hair

Zatvori mi kapke tim
close my lids with
usnama sklopljenim u jednu
that lips,folded into one
ja odavno ne znam kuda
since long ago i don't know where
odlaze voljeni kad krenu
the beloved goes when they leave


Nocas cu samo za tebe da plesem
i'm gonna dance for you tonight
evo ucim nove korake
i'm learning new steps
nocas cu samo za tebe
only for you tonight i will
da poletim nebu pod oblake
fly to the sky underneath the clouds

Dino Merlin
Mjesecina/Moonlight

Bilo je ljeto, vrela noc
It was a hot sommer night
svirao stari, dobri rock 'n' roll
the good old rock'n'roll was playing
ti i ja, dva mjesecara
you and me,two sleepwalker
dva bagrema bijela tek procvala
two white acacia just flourished

Ref.
Mjesecina k'o dukat zut
moonlight,yellow like an Ducat (gold coin)
ti dovoljno mlada, ja dovoljno lud
you are young eneugh,I'm crazy eneugh
mjesecina k'o dukat zut
moonlight,yellow like an Ducat
ti dovoljno zena, prvi je put
you are a woman eneugh,it is the first time

Srce u srcu, ruka u ruci
heart in heart,hand in hand
kao mornari u mirnoj luci
like sailor in calm harbor
crna oka dva, dva lopova
two black eyes,two thiefs
sve su sa sobom mi odnijela
have carried away everything

Noc je plesala u ritmu tijela
the night danced in rhythm of our bodys
tvoje nemirne ruke i postelja bijela
your calm hands and white bedsheet
lete godine, sretan im put
the years are flying away,i wish them good journey
al' zauvijek ostaje nas prvi put
but our first time stays forever

sa mojih usana ti nikad nisi cula laz
u mojim ocima nisi vidjela zlo
i kad sam padao, i kad sam letio
bio sam sa tobom

kud plove uspomene nikad necu saznati
gdje god se okrenem svud' se nalazis ti
nekad me bude strah da se probudim
a da te ne vidim

a sta imam ja od tog, kad mi nije dao bog
da te sretnem ranije, da ti kazem sta mi je
a sta imam ja od tog, kad mi nije dao bog
da te sretnem ranije, da ti kazem sta mi je

sve moje pobjede i zlatne medalje
nista mi ne znace kad sam bez tebe
sve je drugacije
kad si uz mene

sa mojih usana ti nikad neces cuti laz
u mojim ocima neces vidjeti zlo
i sve sto bude mi
nek' bude sa tobom

a sta imam ja od tog, kad mi nije dao bog
da te sretnem ranije, da ti kazem sta mi je
a sta imam ja od tog, kad mi nije dao bog
da te sretnem ranije, da ti kazem sta mi je

sa mojih usana ti nikad nisi cula laz
You ´ve never heard a lie from my lips
u mojim ocima nisi vidjela zlo
in my eyes you´ve never seen evil
i kad sam padao, i kad sam letio
and when I was falling, and when I was flying
bio sam sa tobom
I´ve been with you

kud plove uspomene nikad necu saznati
Where the memories are sailing , I will never know
gdje god se okrenem svud' se nalazis ti
where ever I turn to, you are everywhere
nekad me bude strah da se probudim
sometimes I fear waking up
a da te ne vidim
and not seeing you

a sta imam ja od tog, kad mi nije dao bog
but what do I have from it, when god didn´t let me
da te sretnem ranije, da ti kazem sta mi je
meet you before, to tell you how I felt (what was wrong)
a sta imam ja od tog, kad mi nije dao bog
but what do I have from it, when god didn´t let me
da te sretnem ranije, da ti kazem sta mi je
meet you before ,to tell you how I felt

sve moje pobjede i zlatne medalje
all my victories and gold medals
nista mi ne znace kad sam bez tebe
they mean nothing to me if I´m without you
sve je drugacije
everything is different
kad si uz mene
when you´re by me

sa mojih usana ti nikad neces cuti laz
you will never hear a lie from my lips
u mojim ocima neces vidjeti zlo
in my eyes you´ll never see evil
i sve sto bude mi
and everything I go through
nek' bude sa tobom
let it be with you

a sta imam ja od tog, kad mi nije dao bog
but what do I have from it, when god didn´t let me
da te sretnem ranije, da ti kazem sta mi je
meet you before , to tell you how I felt
a sta imam ja od tog, kad mi nije dao bog
but what do I have from it, when god didn´t let me
da te sretnem ranije, da ti kazem sta mi je
meet you before, to tell you how I felt

Enjoy!

I love your translations dorkas! Perfect!

Thank you Spring!

thanks dorkas...

vidis li ta
crveno bijela svijetla
to je tvoj grad
s pijetlom il' bez pijetla

svanuce dan
sjevnuce k'o munja
neumoran
crni oblak zvani sumnja

kao kroz san
nadolaze ti slike
kad si za dan
presao u vojnike

sebe da das
sve osim onog svoga
i sta je sad
ostalo od svega toga

sam
na svijetu sam si uglavnom
sam
u masi zajedno sa mnom

can anyone translate that? hvala

Hello there. I've been wondering what the songs Majka Ruži Kćer and Ptica Bijela mean for a long time. Can some translate for me? Hvala ti puno!

Majka Ruži Kćer

divojka u dvore
kad i sunce u more
u more, u dvore

majka ruži kćerku u kućerku
kćerka ne da na se
majka ruži kćerku u kućerku
kćerka ne da na se

deder, kćeri, sjedi i prikoči
gdje ćeš vani, već je pola noći
deder, kćeri, sjedi i prikoči
gdje ćeš vani, već je pola noći

majka ruži kćer

gdje si, s kim si, vazda žedna soli
što ga varaš kad te voli
gdje si, s kim si, vazda žedna soli
što ga varaš kad te voli
kad te voli
kad te voli
kad te voli
kad te voli

kuni mati al' nemoj preko mjere
ljubav ima simptome kolere
kuni mati al' nemoj preko mjere
ljubav ima simptome kolere

gdje si s kim si vazda žedna soli...

čonge lenge ponge lenge

nana kupi sandalice
čonge lenge ponge lenge
dedo kupi nanulice

dedo kupi narukvice
nana kupi sandalice
ponge lenge čonge lenge

gdje si s kim si vazda žedna soli...



And Ptica Bijela

Te noći kad ne budu igrale sjene
I kad voda ko zna koji put razbije stijene
I kad sve što je nekad bilo važno više ne bude
I kad te neke grube ruke snažno iz sna probude

Te noći kad meleci navrate po mene
Da me opet vrate natrag u bijele pelene
I kad raspletene kose drugom ti sjedneš u krilo
Ja ni tad neću ništa protiv tebe
Neću, gluho bilo

Kada jednom budem ja
K'o snijeg ptica bijela
Ne reci nikom da si me srela
A kamoli voljela
Kada jednom duša moja
Odleti od tijela
Ne reci nikom da si me žedna
Preko vode prevela

Te noći kad ne budu igrale sjene...

Kada jednom budem ja...

ti nikad nisi ni u sali
o ljubavi sa mnom probala
uvijek si neke odlikase kraj sebe
k'o cuke vodala

al' ko sem Boga zna
kada gvozdje postaje grozdje
al' ko sem Boga zna
odakle to i kako dodje

kad si rekla da me volis

ti nikad nisi ni u sali
o ljubavi sa mnom probala
uvijek si neke odlikase kraj sebe
k'o cuke vodala

al' ko sem Boga zna
da l' si budna il' spavas
imas li pojma gdje sam sad
da l' ti ista znaci ako cujes
da dolazim u onaj grad

kad si rekla da me volis
prvi put kad si rekla to
da ti tijelo gori
kao sto nikad nije gorilo
kad si rekla da me volis
prvi put kad si rekla to
kad si rekla da me volis

al' ko sem Boga zna
kada gvozdje postaje grozdje
al' ko sem Boga zna
odakle to i kako dodje

al' moja dusa zna
da l' si budna il' spavas
imas li pojma gdje sam sad
da l' ti ista znaci ako cujes
da dolazim u onaj grad

kad si rekla da me volis
prvi put kad si rekla to
da ti tijelo gori
kao sto nikad nije gorilo
kad si rekla da me volis
prvi put kad si rekla to
kad si rekla da me volis

pogledaj me sad
skoro da sam sijedi starac
to je opsjena
jos sam onaj isti
sto bi dao sve
na cemu mi zavide
samo za taj tren
da to moje oci vide

da l' si budna il' spavas
imas li pojma gdje sam sad
da l' ti ista znaci ako cujes
da dolazim u zabranjeni grad

da ti kazem da te volim
zadnji put da izgovorim to
da mi tijelo gori
kao sto nikad nije gorilo
kad si rekla da me volis
prvi put kad si rekla to
kad si rekla da me volis

-WHEN YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME- KAD SI REKLA DA ME VOLIS-

ti nikad nisi ni u sali
you never tried even for fun
o ljubavi sa mnom probala
to be with me to give me love
uvijek si neke odlikase kraj sebe
you always had some good boys
k'o cuke vodala
like dogs beside your self

al' ko sem Boga zna
but who would know except God
kada gvozdje postaje grozdje
when iron became grape
al' ko sem Boga zna
who would know except God
odakle to i kako dodje
where from and how that happened

kad si rekla da me volis
when you said you loved me

ti nikad nisi ni u sali
you never tried even for fun
o ljubavi sa mnom probala
to be with me to give me love
uvijek si neke odlikase kraj sebe
you always had some good boys
k'o cuke vodala
like dogs beside your self

al' ko sem Boga zna
but who would know except God
da l' si budna il' spavas
were you awake or were you asleep
imas li pojma gdje sam sad
do you even know where am i now
da l' ti ista znaci ako cujes
would it mean something to you if you heard
da dolazim u onaj grad
that i was coming into that city

kad si rekla da me volis
when you said you loved me
prvi put kad si rekla to
for the first time,when you said that
da ti tijelo gori
that you body was burning
kao sto nikad nije gorilo
like never before in your life
kad si rekla da me volis
when you said you loved me
prvi put kad si rekla to
for the first time,when you said that
kad si rekla da me volis
when you said you loved me

al' ko sem Boga zna
but who would know except God
kada gvozdje postaje grozdje
when iron became grape
al' ko sem Boga zna

al' moja dusa zna
my soul knows
da l' si budna il' spavas
are you awake or are you asleep
imas li pojma gdje sam sad
do you know where am i
da l' ti ista znaci ako cujes
would it mean to you something if you heard
da dolazim u tvoj grad

pogledaj me sad
look at me now
skoro da sam sijedi starac
i'm almost a grey old man
to je opsjena
that is a delusion
jos sam onaj isti
i'm still the same
sto bi dao sve
the one who would give it all
na cemu mi zavide
the one thing everybody admires me
samo za taj tren
only for that moment
da to moje oci vide
hoping my eyes will see that

da l' si budna il' spavas
are you awake or are you asleep
imas li pojma gdje sam sad
do you know where am i
da l' ti ista znaci ako cujes
would it mean something to you if you heard
da dolazim u zabranjeni grad
that i'm coming into the forbidden city

da ti kazem da te volim
to tell you i love you
zadnji put da izgovorim to
for the last time to say those words
da mi tijelo gori
that my body is burning
kao sto nikad nije gorilo
like never before in my life
kad si rekla da me volis
when you said you loved me
prvi put kad si rekla to
for the firs time,when you said that
kad si rekla da me volis
when you said you loved me

-I tried to be precise with the sequence of tenses but it is hard to keep up with the meaning doing that.I hope it is good enough for you

Majka Ruži Kćer - It would mean something like MOTHER TALKS TO HER DAUGHTER ( but mother is angry a bit so in that sence she talks to her daughter,i think) so...

divojka u dvore
girl comes back home
kad i sunce u more
when sun wanishes into the sea ( very late)
u more, u dvore
in the sea,in her home

majka ruži kćerku u kućerku
mother talks to her daughter in their house
kćerka ne da na se
but daughter keeps defending
majka ruži kćerku u kućerku
again mother talks to her daughter in their home
kćerka ne da na se
but daughter keep defending

deder, kćeri, sjedi i prikoči
my daughter,sit and slow down
gdje ćeš vani, već je pola noći
where are you going its very late
deder, kćeri, sjedi i prikoči
my daughter,sit and slow down

gdje si, s kim si, vazda žedna soli
where and with how do you spend your nights

kuni mati al' nemoj preko mjere
swear mother but not to much
ljubav ima simptome kolere
love has a sympthoms of cholera
kuni mati al' nemoj preko mjere
swear mother but not to much
ljubav ima simptome kolere
love has a sympthoms of cholera

gdje si s kim si vazda žedna soli...
where and with who you spend your nights...

čonge lenge ponge lenge
( ok,i dont have a translation for this,it means nothing,i think its just sth from bosnian folk music)

nana kupi sandalice
granma buy me some sandals
čonge lenge ponge lenge
dedo kupi nanulice
granpa buy me some slippers

dedo kupi narukvice
granpa buy me some bracelets
nana kupi sandalice
granma buy me some sandals
ponge lenge conge lenge

gdje si s kim si vazda `edna soli...
where and with who you spend your nights..

Ptica Bijela- A White Bird

Te noci kad ne budu igrale sjene
that night when shadows stop dancing
I kad voda ko zna koji put razbije stijene
and when water breaks the rocks again
I kad sve {to je nekad bilo va`no vi{e ne bude
and when everything it was outside is nolong outside
I kad te neke grube ruke sna`no iz sna probude
and when some tough hands wakes you up in a hard way

Te noci kad meleci navrate po mene
that knight when MELECI come for me
Da me opet vrate natrag u bijele pelene
to bring me back in white diapers
I kad raspletene kose drugom ti sjedne{ u krilo
and when you sit in someone else's lap
Ja ni tad necu ni{ta protiv tebe
i would not do a thing against you
Necu, gluho bilo
i wont......

Kada jednom budem ja
when i become once
K'o snijeg ptica bijela
white bird like a snow
Ne reci nikom da si me srela
dont say you have seen me
A kamoli voljela
god forbid you loved me
Kada jednom du{a moja
when my soul
Odleti od tijela
flies away from my body
Ne reci nikom da si me `edna
dont say to anyone you took me thirsty
Preko vode prevela
over the water

Te noci kad ne budu igrale sjene...
that night when shadows stop dancing...

Kada jednom budem ja...
when i become....


MELECI-i'm not sure about this,i think this is the term from the KURAN,the muslim holy book,and i think that those are the servants of Alah.

I like this song very much,no problem!

--SAM-- ALONE--

vidis li ta
you see those
crveno bijela svijetla
red and white lights
to je tvoj grad
it is your city
s pijetlom il' bez pijetla
with a rooster or not

svanuce dan
the day will dawn
sjevnuce k'o munja
it will flash like a bolt
neumoran
never tired
crni oblak zvani sumnja
black cloud called doubt

kao kroz san
like in a dream
nadolaze ti slike
you see pictures
kad si za dan
when you in a day
presao u vojnike
became a soldier

sebe da das
you give yourself
sve osim onog svoga
everything except that something in you
i sta je sad
and what is now
ostalo od svega toga
left of all that

sam
alone
na svijetu sam si uglavnom
on the world you are mostly alone
sam
alone
u masi zajedno sa mnom
in the crowd,together with me
