Dar Williams - Iowa (English to Serbian)

Can someone fix mistakes I make, please?

I've never had a way with women
Nikad nisam bila darovita za žene
But the hills of Iowa make me wish that I could
A brežulci Ajove me nateraju da to želim
And I've never found a way to say I love you
I nikad nisam našla način da ti kažem "volim te"
But if the chance came by, oh I, I would
Pa da dobijem šansu, oh, rekla bih.

But way back where I come from we never mean to bother
A tamo gde sam odrastala, nikad ne nameravamo da dosađujemo nikoga
We don't like to make our passions other people's concern
Ne volimo da pravimo svoje čežnje u brigu drugih ljudi
And we walk in the world of safe people
I hodamo na svetu od bezbedne ljude
And at night we walk into our houses and burn
I noću idemo kući i palimo.

Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova

How I long to fall just a little bit
Koliko čežnjem da malo propadam,
To dance out of the lines and stray from the light
Da plesam izvan linije, da zalutam iz svetlosti
But I fear that to fall in love with you
Ali se bojim da ako zaljubim u tebe
Is to fall from a great and gruesome height
Propadam iz visokog i strašnog visine

So you know I asked a friend about it, on a bad day
Znaš pitala sam drugaricu, na lošom danu.
Her husband had just left her, she sat down on the chair he'd left behind
Tek ju je ostavao muž. Sela na stolicu koja je ostavao
She said, "What is love, where did it get me?
Rekla je, "Šta ti je ljubav, kako mi je ljubav pomogla?
Whoever thought of love is no friend of mine"
Koji god je izmislio ljubav, on nije moj prijatelj."

Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova

Once I had everything, I gave it up
Nekad sam imala sve, a izdala sam sve
For the shoulder of your driveway and the words I've never felt
Za ?, i reči koji nikad nisam osetila
So for you, I came this far across the tracks
Dakle za tebe sam došla ovoliko daleko, preko šine
Ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and I'd do it again
Deset milje nad dozvoljenom brzinom, bez sigurnosnog pojasa, i ponovo bih to uradila

For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion
Zato što noćas sam trkala kroz mrežu opreznosti
For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see
Zato što sam probudila iz noćne more, što nisam mogla da podnosim
You were a-wandering out on the hills of Iowa
Lutala si na brežulcima Ajove
And you were not thinking of me
I nisi mislila na mene

Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova

Well.. this is not easy to translate at all! but I've made some changes in accordance with literal meaning ...

I've never had a way with women
Nikad nisam znala sa zenama
But the hills of Iowa make me wish that I could
Ali brežuljci (brda) Ajove me teraju da poželim da to umem
And I've never found a way to say I love you
I nikad nisam našla način da kažem "volim te"
But if the chance came by, oh I, I would
Ali kad bih imala šansu, oh, rekla bih.

But way back where I come from we never mean to bother
Ali tamo odakle sam ja, mi nikad ne zelimo da smetamo
We don't like to make our passions other people's concern
Ne volimo da svoje čežnje pretvaramo u brigu drugih ljudi
And we walk in the world of safe people
I hodamo svetom bezbednih ljudi
And at night we walk into our houses and burn
I noću ulazimo u svoje kuće i palimo (gorimo)

Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa

How I long to fall just a little bit
Koliko čeznem da bar malo padnem (?)
To dance out of the lines and stray from the light
Da plešem izvan linija i zalutam od svetlosti
But I fear that to fall in love with you
Ali se bojim da zaljubiti se u tebe
Is to fall from a great and gruesome height
isto je kao pasti sa ogromne i strašne visine

So you know I asked a friend about it, on a bad day
Znaš upitala sam drugaricu o tome, jednog dana kad je bila loše volje
Her husband had just left her, she sat down on the chair he'd left behind
Tek ju je bio ostavio muž. Sela je na stolicu koju je ostavio za sobom
She said, "What is love, where did it get me?
Rekla je, "Šta je ljubav, gde me ona dovela?
Whoever thought of love is no friend of mine"
Ko god da je izmislio ljubav, on nije moj prijatelj."

Once I had everything, I gave it up
Nekad sam imala sve, a odrekla sam se svega
For the shoulder of your driveway and the words I've never felt
da bih bila s tobom rame uz rame (at least I guess so cause she literally says za rame tvoga puta), i za reči koje nikad nisam osetila
So for you, I came this far across the tracks
Dakle za tebe, došla sam ovoliko daleko preko šina (staza, puteva)
Ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and I'd do it again
Deset milja iznad dozvoljene brzine, i bez pojasa, i ponovo bih to uradila

For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion
Zato što noćas sam istrčala kroz kroz mrežu diskrecije
For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see
Zato što sam se probudila iz noćne more koju nisam mogla da zamislim da ću doživeti
You were a-wandering out on the hills of Iowa
Ti si bila lutalica na brežuljcima Ajove
And you were not thinking of me
I nisi mislila na mene

Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa

Hvala! Stvarno nije bilo lak tekst.

Ni ja ne kontam ovaj "shoulder of your driveway", a lepo zvuči (pa engleski mi je maternji)
