hi, i need help with translation of beautiful Serbian song. i understand whole meaning, but i'd like to know what exactly the lyrics are about....thanks in advance!


Viktorija - Plava ptica


"Duboko dublje još dublje
tonem u plavo još plavlje
letim visoko još bih gore
slutim nevinost tek rođjene zore.

Svilen i plav ko krv princa
plavi vojnik na putu do sunca
sa nadom jaše na plavoj ptici
slušam tišinu oko mene su krici.

Moj bog ima plave oči
moj bog je protiv kraljeva noči
da letim ko drugi tražim pravo
sklopiču ruke i misliti plavo.

Povuci i mene u tu svilu
budi nežan nemoj na silu
šapni mi tajnu svevišnju i plavu
možda zajedno taknemo slavu."

"Duboko dublje još dublje
Deep, deeper, more deeper
tonem u plavo još plavlje
I'm drawning in the blue, more blue
letim visoko još bih gore
I'm flying high, I would fly higher
slutim nevinost tek rođjene zore.
I suspect the innosence of newborn dawn

Svilen i plav ko krv princa
Silk and blue like prince's blood
plavi vojnik na putu do sunca
Blue soldier on his way to the sun
sa nadom jaše na plavoj ptici
With the hope is riding the blue bird
slušam tišinu oko mene su krici.
I'm listening to the silence, and the screams are all around me

Moj bog ima plave oči
My god has blue eyes
moj bog je protiv kraljeva noči
my god is against kings of the night
da letim ko drugi tražim pravo
I'm asking the right to fly as everybody else
sklopiču ruke i misliti plavo.
I will fold my hands, and think blue

Povuci i mene u tu svilu
Take me to that silk too
budi nežan nemoj na silu
Be gentle, dont hustle
šapni mi tajnu svevišnju i plavu
Whisper me the secret almighty and blue
možda zajedno taknemo slavu."
Maybe we touch the silk together

I think its not by Viktorija, its from one theater show named "Blue bird" and someone else wrote it and composed

As far as I know, the song is by Aleksandar Sanja Ilic & Balkanika, 'Balkan Koncept' CD, 2004 year. I think the name of the singer is Ana Petrovic.

Adrienne, thanks for translation!

Hm... it's from a play called "Plava ptica", written by Aleksandar Sanja Ilic (Balkanika) and originally performed by a Belgrade actress Ana Sofrenovic
Here's a version performed by Balkanika
