Damiro i Zlata – Mama
Bilo nam je lijepo, imali smo sve
Svi smo bili sretni, ali mama ne
Ona lijepa, mlada, nije znala tada
Da je starost blizu i da nije mlada (or: i da mi je mlada)*
Ref.
Krasila je ulicu pa i pola grada
Zanosna i ljepa, tad je bila mlada
Ljepotom je svojom šarmirala sve
Oca je varala, ali mene ne
Želje je imala, možda malo veće
Ni slutila nije, bez nas nema sreće
Zato sada šminkom ona sjede krije
Bolest, starost, tuga iz očiju bije
Mom
We had great time, we had everything
We were all happy, but mom wasn't
She beautiful, young, didn't know then
That old age is close and that she isn't young (and that she's young to me)
Ref.
She was ornament of the street and even half of town
Stunning and beautiful, she was young then
She was charming everyone with her beauty
She was cheating on my father, but not me (she didn't fool him)
She had wishes, maybe somewhat bigger
She didn't even suspect (that) there's no happiness without us
So now with make-up she covers her greys
Illness, old age, sorrow beats from her eyes
* I'm really not sure what are his last words there, makes no sense anyway. Hope someone will help.
