I've been listening to new album of Sergej Cetkovic, and came to the idea to translate some of his lyrics.. New album is great..
For the all lovers of his music, here are some lyrics translations..

Of course, anyone who wants to translate some of his lyrics here, or have requests, you're welcome to contribute the thread


Pola moga svijeta ~ Half of my world

Znam da nije lako zivjeti sa tim
I know, it's not easy to live with it
Znam, al ipak svaki novi dan na nas me podsjeti
I know, but still every day reminds me of us
Da je moglo biti sve bolje i drugacije, al' te nema
That everything could be better and different, but you're not here
Da je moglo biti sve kao nekad kao prije
That everything could be as it used to be, as before
kad su te ruke grlile
when my arms were hugging you

Znaj da nije lako da te prebolim
You should know that it's not easy to get over you
Sad trazim razlog da te sto puta vise povrijedim
Now I'm looking for a reason to hurt you 100 times more
Da na dusu osjetis ovaj nemir, ovu bol sto se sprema
so that you'd feel on your soul this restlessness, this pain that is coming
kad na kozi ostane jedan trag i sjecanje
when on the skin is left one trace and memory
da nas vise nema
that we do not exist anymore


On tebi daje sve sto ja nisam znao
He gives you everything that I didnt know
Sada znam da previse ljubavi ti smeta
Now I know that too much love bothers you
On meni krade te, a ja te ne bih dao
He steals you from me, and I wouldnt let you go
Sa tobom mi odnosi pola moga svijeta
He's taking half of my world with you

Ako te nije pronasla ljubav ~ If the love hasnt found you

Noc jedina jos zna kad dodjem sam da me doceka
The night is the only one who waits for me when I come alone
Osmijeh njen koristi, al znam
It uses her smile, but I know
Da nisi tu, a ja umoran od svega sam
that you're not here, and I'm tired of everything

Jer bol ista je kod svih
Because the pain is same for everyone
Kod tuga ujede tesko preboli
who is bitten by the sorrow, it's hard to get over
Cutim s njom da me ne cuju sjene te
I'm quiet with her, so that the shadows wont hear me
sto na tebe sve me sjecaju
that remind me of you

Ako te nije pronasla ljubav potrazi me bicu ko prije
If the love hasnt found you, look for me, I'll be as before
Na istom mjestu svu ljubav skricu od svih
at the same place I will hide all love from everyone
Da nikada vise nikoga ne zavolim
So that I dont fall in love with anyone else

A ja isti sam ko svi
And I'm same as everybody
Kod tuga ujede tesko preboli
Who is bitten by the sorrow, it's hard for him to get over it
Cutim s njom da me ne cuju sjene te
I'm quiet, so that the shadows wont hear me
sto na tebe sve me sjecaju
that remind me of you

Ako Boga znas ~ For God sake


Osjecam da gubim te pod prstima
I feel you slipping under my fingers
Sve te manje imam
I have you less and less
I svaki put kad ove oci zatvorim
And everytime I close these eyes
svoju dusu kidam
I'm torturing my soul

Ne umijem da sebi kazem dosta je
I dont know how to say to myself it's enough
Da je kraj
it's the end

Nije to sto vise nisam jedini
It's not that I'm no longer the only one
onaj koga trebas
the one that you need
Bar budi drug, da lakse bude
Be friend at least, to make it easier
Reci mi da te nisam vrijedan
Tell me I'm not worth of you

Kad odes ti, meni ce ostati sva bol
Whe you are gone, all the pain will stay for me
Da u drugoj te trazim
to look for you in another one

Ako Boga znas, idi nemoj da mi das
For God sake, go away, dont let me
da te opet molim
to beg you again
pusti me, neka dusa zaplace
Let me go, let my soul cry
Ako Boga znas, reci da sam bio los
For God sake, tell me I was bad
Neka svijet se srusi, reci mi
Let the world crush down, tell me
Da te ne zasluzujem
That I dont deserve you

damn board is still not letting me increase your reputation.. again "you must spread around some reputation before giving it again to Adrienne".. or something...
And I did spread! I must have "over reputated" you before haha
Anyways, well done!

Aw thanks girl for trying lol .. I dont know why you cant do it but it doesnt matter
Anyway, you could post some translations when you have time, and of course if you like his songs and lyrics... I will post some more translations tomorrow

Kad bi htjela ti ~ If you would want


Sto bi ja, kad bi Bog jedne noci u snove dosao
What would I do, if the God came one night into my dreams
moje oci sebi da pozove
to take away my eyes
i da jutro ne vidim
and not to see the morning
da l' bih ustao, odustao
Would I stend up, give up
kada bih slijep postao?
If i would become blind?

Sto bih ja, kad bi Bog jednog dana dok sviram usao
What would I do, if the God came in one day while I'm playing
stao iza mog klavira i ton po ton uzeo
stand behind my piano, and took tone by tone
da l' bih ustao, odustao
would I stend up, give up
kada bi gluv ostao?
If I would become deaf?

Samo kad bi htjela ti
If you would only want
Ja bih te dodirom od svile vidio
I would see you with the silky touch
Ako dozvolis u tvome pogledu bih zivio
If you'd allow, I would live in your look
i stario
and grow old
to kad bi htjela ti, ja ne bih mario
If you would want that, I wouldnt mind

Sto bih ja, kad bi Bog poslije svega u snove dosao
What would I do, if the God after everything came into my dreams
da mi vrati vid i sluh
to bring me back sight and hearing
ali tebe da sa sobom pozove
but to take you away
da l' bih ustao, odustao
Would I stend up, give up
kad bi bez tebe ostao?
if I would stay without you?
Ja ne bih pristao..
I wouldnt accept it

Nazovi me ~ Call me


Nocas me svi ,na tebe podsjete
Tonight everyone remind me of you
Pogledima,moju bol osjete
They feel my pain with their looks
Cutim,a znam da dijele nas dani,
I stay quiet but I know that the days separate us

Mrzim sto svi,za tebe pitaju,
I hate that everyone ask about you
Sa usana,tugu mi citaju,
They read my sorrow from my lips
Eh da si tu,kao nekad ko lani...
If you only were here, like before, like last year

Ne nisam jak,slome me pitanja
No, I'm not strong, the questions break me down
Gdje li si sad,uzalud skitanja
Where are you know, I'm wandering in vain
Cutim ,a znam da sada smo sami...
I'm quiet, but I know that we're alone now

Nazovi me,da si jos dobro to mi javi
Call me, and just let me know that you're okay
ja nemam kud,ti stalno si tu u mojoj glavi,k'o spas
I have nowhere to go, you're in my head all the time, as a salvation
nazovi me,bez tebe su dugi ovi dani,
Call me, these days are long without you
jer kao lud,jos zivim za nas...
Because as crazy I'm still living for us

Sati, dani, godine ~ Hours, days, years

Kao sunce novi dan,zurim da te ugledam
Like the sun new day, I'm in a hurry to see you
jer srce je hladno bez tebe sam sasvim sam
because the heart is cold, I'm all alone without you
znam da nije trebalo da kazem,
I know I shouldnt say
sto sam rekao
what I said
da okrenem ledja i odem bez pozdrava.
To turn my back, and go without goodbye

Jer prolaze mi sati, dani, godine,ja opet trazim
Because hours, days, years are passing by, I'm looking again
put da sebi vratim te,i sve bih podnio jer
the road to bring you back, and I would take everything because
sam te volio,i sada znam sta sam ucinio
I loved you, now I know what I've done
sada znam da za tebe malo sam se borio
now I know that I fight very little for you
i sve bih podnio jer sam te volio i sada znam
and I would take everything because I loved you, and now I know
sta sam izgubio,
What I've lost
sada znam da nisam te prebolio.
Now I know I havent got over you

znam da nije trebalo da kazem, sto sam rekao
I know I shouldnt have said, what I said
da okrenem ledja i odem bez pozdrava
To turn my back and go without saying goodbye
A sada stojim kao kip jer vise nisam takav
Now I'm staying still, because I'm not like that anymore
tip,sada se kajem, kajem sto sam ziv.
Now I repent, I repent for being alive

Hiljadu razloga - 1000 reasons

Ti nisi umjela bolje to znas
you didnt know better, you know it
za ljubav treba i vise da das
you have to give more for love
ljubav ne zivi samo od sjecanja
love doesnt live only of memory

A ja nisam onaj sto vise na glas
and I'm not the one that shouts out of loud
kad lose krene da potrazi spas
to find resque when something goes wrong
oci zatvorim budan da odsanjam
i close my eyes to dream awake

al nikud ne idem
but I'm not going anywhere

Ja imam hiljadu razloga da odem jos danas
I have 1000 reasons to leave today
a ti nijedan bas dobar da sacuvam nas
and you dont even have one to save us
bolje vrata zakljucaj i reci mi zbogo zauvijek..
you better lock the door and tell me goodbye forever

-------------------------------
NECU DA ZNAM

Opet radis protiv nas
dovoljno je to
sto poznajem tvoj glas
sva zadrhtis dok mi pricas
opet pricom okolisas
ali dobro znas da znam

Opet ljudi govore
da sam takav
samo zbog ljubomore
znaju vise od mene
sve tvoje prijateljice
opet prica pocinje

Necu da znam, tvoje
ime nikad cujem
jer svaki put
samo se vise trujem
ostavi me da zivim
najbolje sam
jer tako ja znam

Opet Boga zamolim
da mi da jos snage
da te prebolim
al' jos svijecu zapalim
i od vjetra zaklonim
kad na tebe pomislim

Necu da znam, tvoje
ime nikad cujem
jer svaki put
samo se vise trujem
ostavi me da zivim
kako ja znam

Necu da znam, dal'
si s drugim ili sama
jer svaki put
pomislim o nama
ostavi me da zivim
najbolje sam
jer tako ja znam

Necu da znam, dal'
si s drugim ili sama
jer svaki put
pomislim o nama
ostavi me da zivim
kako ja znam

------------------------------------------

NEMAM GDJE

Nikad nisam znao
da ti poklonim
ni pravu rijec, ni dodir
da te utjesim prstima
po usnama
da ti osmijeh nacrtam
nisam znao, nisam nikada

A ti si sve do sad
za mene cuvala
ono parce sna
da sa mnom dosanjas
kao da si znala sve
kako ja bez tebe nemam

Gdje, vise nemam, gdje
od nas da pobjegnem
svaki put, ja po svome tragu
tebi vracam se

Znaj, ovu dusu
sto sam krio otkrivam
bicu tvoj, vise nema ljubavi
pod maskama

Al ovaj put sam bar
i sebi priznao
da sve sto zelim
ja sam s tobom imao
ako nas mi nestane
meni svijet se rusi
nemam gdje

------------------------------

RECI MI U LICE

Ti dosla si sva od suza slomljena
kao brod bez jedara
na moja vrata
rekla mi, da si dugo cekala

Nisi nasla vremena, da mi kazes
da ti nisam vise drag
al ipak presla si moj prag

Ref.
Reci mi u lice, reci samo istinu
nemoj laz bas ni jednu
sada da mi govoris

Reci mi u lice, nemoj suze brisati
jer ne mogu disati
kad te vidim takvu
reci mi sve, samo nek' ti bude lako

Ti dosla si kao vjetar nemiran
oo, ooo, oo
list od knjige pocijepan
u moje snove

Rekla mi da si dugo cekala
nisi snage imala da mi kazes
da ce bolje biti sve
al moras dalje bez mene

-----------------------------------------------

PROKLETA BILA

Necu te otresti kao pepeo
i da znam da to jesi
zivot je kratak
da se takva ljubav dvaput desi

Cutis, a ja vec cujem
kako smijes se na glas
kidaj sve sto znas
samo nemoj nas

Ref.
Prokleta bila, ti si moj zid
gdje udarim glavom i izgubim vid
bol pozdravim da od tebe ne ozdravim
prokleta bila, znala si sve
da zivim i umirem od tebe
protiv sebe borim se
ja los sam covjek zbog tebe

Necu te odati kao tajnu
i da znam da to jesi
zivot je jedan
da se takva ljubav dvaput desi

--------------------------------------------------

THANKS!!

NECU DA ZNAM
I dont want to know

Opet radis protiv nas
dovoljno je to
sto poznajem tvoj glas
sva zadrhtis dok mi pricas
opet pricom okolisas
ali dobro znas da znam

You're doing things against us again
it's enough
that I recognize your voice
you all shiver while you're talking to me
you're beating about the bush again
but you know very well that I know

Opet ljudi govore
da sam takav
samo zbog ljubomore
znaju vise od mene
sve tvoje prijateljice
opet prica pocinje

People are saying again
that I'm like that
because of the jealousy
all your friends
know more than I do
the talk goes on again

Necu da znam, tvoje
ime nikad cujem
jer svaki put
samo se vise trujem
ostavi me da zivim
najbolje sam
jer tako ja znam

I dont want to know
or to hear your name ever again
because evreytime
I poison myself even more
leave me to live
alone, that's for the best
because I only know that way

Opet Boga zamolim
da mi da jos snage
da te prebolim
al' jos svijecu zapalim
i od vjetra zaklonim
kad na tebe pomislim

I pray God again
to give me more strength
to get over you
but I still light the candle
and protect it from the wind
when I think of you

Necu da znam, tvoje
ime nikad cujem
jer svaki put
samo se vise trujem
ostavi me da zivim
kako ja znam

I dont want to know
or to hear your name ever again
because evreytime
I poison myself even more
leave me to live
the way I know

Necu da znam, dal'
si s drugim ili sama
jer svaki put
pomislim o nama
ostavi me da zivim
najbolje sam
jer tako ja znam

I dont want to know
if you're with another one or alone
because everytime
I think about us
leave me to live
alone, that's for the best
because I only know that way

Two more..

----------------

ZNAO SAM SVE

Tiho, niko to ne zna tise
samo ja cujem kako se brise
dan po dan zivot moj lagano nestaje

Jos danas neka sve vjetar odnese
jer dusa ne moze to da podnese
i oko nas rusi se sve
ova igra prestaje

Ref.
Ja znao sam sve, al' bolje da nisam
sada bez nje kao da kriv sam
sto nije tu o, Boze moj
ja ne znam kako cu

Ja pao sam tu gdje nikoga nema
na samom sam dnu, sa bezbroj problema
a drugovi svi kao da njoj su bolji postali

Tiho, niko to ne zna tise
jos samo ja cujem kako se brise
dan po dan k'o dlanom o dlan
nasa prica nestaje

Jos danas neka sve vjetar odnese
jer dusa ne moze to da podnese
i oko nas rusi se sve
ova igra prestaje

Ref.

Ref.

Tiho, niko to ne zna tise
jos samo ja cujem kako se brise
dan po dan k'o dlanom o dlan
ova prica prestaje

--------------------------------------------

LJUBAV NEMA NISTA S TIM

Odavno sam spakovao snove medju stare stvari
jer otkad si otisla ja nisam vise onaj stari
rekla si da odlazis, da tako mora, jer imas razlog vise
zasto opet dolazis kad znas da to me boli najvise
sad dva put razmislim prije no tebe zamislim i sto si opet tu

Ref.
A sada posipas se pepelom, zivot bi dala da je sve po tvom
ja nemam snage da zaboravim, jer ljubav nema vise nista s tim
i opet htjela bi da sve ti dam, opet kroz prste da ti progledam
ja nemam snage da ti oprostim, jer ljubav nema vise nista s tim

Rekla si da odlazis, da tako mora, jer imas razlog vise
zasto opet dolazis kad znas da to me boli najvise
sad dva put razmislim prije no tebe zamislim i sto si opet tu

Ref.

Znaj, sad dva put razmislim prije no tebe zamislim i sto si opet tu

Ref.

I zasto lomim se, ma predobro te znam
u svoje srce nisam siguran

-----------------------------------------------------------

HVALA

NEMAM GDJE
I have nowhere to go

Nikad nisam znao
da ti poklonim
ni pravu rijec, ni dodir
da te utjesim prstima
po usnama
da ti osmijeh nacrtam
nisam znao, nisam nikada

I never knew to give you
not a rght word nor the touch
to console you with my fingers
on your lips
to paint a smile
I never knew

A ti si sve do sad
za mene cuvala
ono parce sna
da sa mnom dosanjas
kao da si znala sve
kako ja bez tebe nemam

And you kept evething for me
unitl now
that piece of dream
to dream with me
as if you knew everything
that without you I..

Gdje, vise nemam, gdje
od nas da pobjegnem
svaki put, ja po svome tragu
tebi vracam se

Where, I have nowhere to go
away from us
because everytime I come back to you
by my trace

Znaj, ovu dusu
sto sam krio otkrivam
bicu tvoj, vise nema ljubavi
pod maskama

You should know, this soul
that i was hiding, I reveal it now
I'll be yours, there is no more love
under the masks

Al ovaj put sam bar
i sebi priznao
da sve sto zelim
ja sam s tobom imao

But this time at least
I admitted to myself
that I had with you
everything that I wanted

ako nas mi nestane
meni svijet se rusi
nemam gdje

If I lose us
my world will crush
I have nowhere to go

RECI MI U LICE
Tell it to my face

Ti dosla si sva od suza slomljena
kao brod bez jedara
na moja vrata
rekla mi, da si dugo cekala

You came crushed, all in tears
like a boat without the sails
to my door
you told me you were waiting for a long time

Nisi nasla vremena, da mi kazes
da ti nisam vise drag
al ipak presla si moj prag

You didnt have time to tell me
that you don't care for me anymore
but you crossed my threshold anyway

Ref.
Reci mi u lice, reci samo istinu
nemoj laz bas ni jednu
sada da mi govoris

Tell it to my face, only the truth
dont tell me not even one lie now


Reci mi u lice, nemoj suze brisati
jer ne mogu disati
kad te vidim takvu
reci mi sve, samo nek' ti bude lako

Tell it to my face, dont wipe away your tears
because I cannot breathe
when I see you like that
tell me everything, just make it easy for you

Ti dosla si kao vjetar nemiran
oo, ooo, oo
list od knjige pocijepan
u moje snove

You came like a restless wind
like torn page of the book
into my dreams

Rekla mi da si dugo cekala
nisi snage imala da mi kazes
da ce bolje biti sve
al moras dalje bez mene

You told me you were waiting for a long time
you didnt have strength to tell me
that everything will be better
but you have to go on without me

PROKLETA BILA
Damn you

Necu te otresti kao pepeo
i da znam da to jesi
zivot je kratak
da se takva ljubav dvaput desi

I wont shake you off as ashes
even if I knew you were (ashes)
life is short
for such love to happen twice

Cutis, a ja vec cujem
kako smijes se na glas
kidaj sve sto znas
samo nemoj nas

You're quiet, but I hear
you laughing out of loud
tear everything you know
but dont tear us

Ref.
Prokleta bila, ti si moj zid
gdje udarim glavom i izgubim vid
bol pozdravim da od tebe ne ozdravim

Damn you, you're my wall
where I hit my head and lose my sight
I greet the pain, so that I dont recover from you

prokleta bila, znala si sve
da zivim i umirem od tebe
protiv sebe borim se
ja los sam covjek zbog tebe

Damn you, you knew everything
that I'm living and dying because of you
I'm fghting myself
I'm a bad man because of you

Necu te odati kao tajnu
i da znam da to jesi
zivot je jedan
da se takva ljubav dvaput desi

I wont reveal you as a secret
even if i knew you were onelife is short
for such love to happen twice
