i know snow patrol-chasing cars, and coldplay-yellow were already translated, but some of the words are more serbian and i would like the croatian versions if thats possible. i dont mean to offend anyone either. and i noticed that no one translated the coldplay song swalled by the sea which i would like to have. also theres some other songs i would love to be translated into english:

haha sorry there is so many. i feel so needy..whatever you can do to help is greatly appreciated! im not sure if i should've posted each song separately or not. sorry if thats what i should have done.

Regina Spektor-Fidelity:

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart



The Bravery-The Ocean:

I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge
And all of the lives that I never have led
Is one where I stayed with you, across the sea
I wonder do you still think of me
I carry your image always in my head
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
And I've look upon it for so many years
Slowly I'm loosing your face

Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

Sixs and sevens we live on jet planes
And so many faces I don't know the names
So many friends now and none of them mine
Forgotten as soon as we meet
All of these moments are lost in time
Your caught on my head like a thorn on a vine
To forever torment me that I wonder why
Do I wish I've never known you at all

Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

The sun and the moon
An ocean of air
So many voices
But nothing is there
The ghost of you asking me why
Why did I leave

Oh the ocean rows us away away away

And I loose your hand through the waves


The Bravery-Time Wont Let Me Go:

Whenever I look back
On the best days of my life
I think I saw them all on T.V.
I am so homesick now for
Someone that I never knew
I am so homesick now for
Someplace I will never be

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If I could do it all again
I'd go back and change everything
But time won't let me go

I never had a 'Summer of 69'
Never had a Cherry Valance of my own
All these precious moments
You promised me would come in time
So where was I when I missed mine?

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If you gave me back those years
I'd do it all better I swear
Time won't let me go

If I could go back once again
I would change everything, yeah
If I could go back once again
I'd do it all so much better

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If I could do it all again
I'd go back and change everything
But you won't ever let me go



The Bravery-Bad Sun:

We are lies like the summertime
Like the spring we are such fools
Like fall we are the prophets
Like winter we are cruel

I don't know what's wrong with us
They just made us this way
There's a hole in you and me
That pulls us together

And I don't know where we belong
I think we grew under a bad sun
I know we're not like everyone
You and me we grew, under a bad sun

Every day you bring me pain
And we savor it like rain
We hold it on our tongues
Just like wine

Someday back when we were young
I guess something just went wrong
The two of us are hung
From the same twisted rope

And I don't know where we belong
I think we grew under a bad sun
I know we're not like everyone
You and me we grew under a bad sun

You and me we grew under a bad sun



Blink 182-Always:

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you all night
Always

And I'll miss your laugh your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights, I hate them
Lets start this again for real

So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
(Come on let me hold you) Touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you all night
Always

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying

Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you all night
Always
(Come on let me hold you) Touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you all night
Always



Blink 182-Lost Without You:

I swear that I can go on forever again
Please let me know that my one bad day will end
I will go down as your lover, your friend
Give me your lips and with one kiss we begin
Are you afraid of being alone
Cause I am, I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of leaving tonight
Cause I am, I'm lost without you

I'll leave my room open till sunrise for you
I'll keep my eyes patiently focused on you
Where are you now I can hear footsteps I'm dreaming
And if you will, keep me from waking to believe this

Are you afraid of being alone
Cause I am, I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of leaving tonight
Cause I am, I'm lost without you

Are you afraid of being alone
Cause I am, I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of leaving tonight
Cause I am, I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of being alone
Cause I am, I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of leaving tonight
Cause I am, I'm lost without you

I'm lost without you
I'm lost without you



The Postal Service-Such Great Heights:

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home



Maroon 5-Wont Go Home Without You:

I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
She left before I had the chance to say
Oh
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The taste of your breath, I'll never get over
The noises that she made kept me awake
Oh
The weight of things that remained unspoken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you


Amber Rubarth-In the Creases:

You’re the smell of the toast that you made in the mornings.
You’re the page in my book that I keep to myself.
You’re the unlocking sound when I turn my door key.
You’re the scar that I have from the time that I fell.
I can’t describe the faces.
I can’t recall the names.
But you remain..

I keep you in the creases.
I hide you in the folds.
Protect you from the sunlight.
Shield you from the cold.
Everybody said they were glad to see you go.
But no one ever has to know.

You’re the part of the moon that blends into the blackness.
Even though we know it’s really still there.
You’re the song that I sing and I don’t need to practice.
You’re the green shoes I keep though they’re too small to wear.
I can’t describe the faces.
I can’t recall the names.
But you remain..

I keep you in the creases.
I hide you in the folds.
Protect you from the sunlight.
Shield you from the cold.
Everybody said they were glad to see you go.
But no one ever has to
No one ever has to know the things that I refuse to see
And all the nights I still can’t sleep.
I curl up in the sheets
Between the creases where you used to be.

Once love wakes it never sleeps...
Even when you love a dream....



Muse-Starlight:

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold

Not that I am offended but curious.. You can't translate Serbian into Croatian yourself?
Which words in particular do you mean? Because from what I can see, only some "ij" should be added in the two translations.

Im Croatian and like Spring.. i dont really see your point. Its the same thing... just some world like love are pJesma insetad of pesma. I have a Serbian boyfriend and its not like I have a problem understanding him... its used to be called Serbo-Croatian as it is almost identical!

Maybe your thinking of Dalmatian dialect but thats not 'proper' croatian to me.

yea i know that they are pretty much the same. but i have a croatian boyfriend and he'll tell me instead of this word it should be this. but if its completely understandable to croatians as well then it should be fine. im a little confused about the whole thing to be honest. some people get really mad and say there are huge differences between the two languages and then others get mad and say they are the same. :S i never know what to think.

Well.. the people who get mad have their own reasons which sometimes has something to do with some actual things that happened to them in the past but sometimes it's just pure nonsense
In my opinion, if they want to believe there are two completely different languages.. I don't mind but for me - it's the same thing and I understand Croatian better than some Serbian dialects. Like.. there are parts of Serbia where they speak in a way that is 99% ununderstandable to me!

haha well then as long as your giving the kind that everyone understand its all good with me :]
so how about all those translations huh?
and im sorry im asking for so many

Maybe *Cro-Girl* could translate them in Croatian?
Helloooo *Cro-Girl*!
lol

hehehehe.. lol .. yes i think this is the job for 'cro-girl' !!

One day ill be able to do it!! But.. not just yet...)

well i sure hope someone helps me soon

*bump*
im feeling a little forgotten.

I am sorry tara!

Regina Spektor - Fidelity ~ Vernost

Nikad nikoga nisam stvarno volela
uvek sa jednom nogom na zemlji
I tako štiteći srce svoje
izgubih se u zvukovima
U svojim mislima čujem
sve te glasove
Čujem u svojim mislima sve te reči
Čujem u svojim mislima svu tu muziku

I to mi slama srce
I to mi slama srce
I to mi slama srce
To slama moje srce

I recimo da te nikada nisam srela
Recimo da se nikada nismo zaljubili
Recimo da ti nikad nisam dala da me poljubiš tako slatko i nežno
Recimo da te nikada nisam videla
Recimo da (se) nikada nismo zvali
Recimo da sam nastavila da pevam ljubavne pesme samo da ublažim sopstveni pad
Samo da ublažim svoj pad
Samo da ublažim svoj pad
ublažim svoj pad
ublažim svoj pad

Svi moji drugovi kažu da će svakako biti bolje
biće bolje
bolje bolje bolje bolje
bolje bolje bolje

Nikada ne volim nikog stvarno
Uvek jednom nogom na zemlji
I tako štiteći srce svoje
izgubih se
u zvukovima
U svojim mislima čujem
sve te glasove
Čujem u svojim mislima sve te reči
Čujem u svojim mislima
svu tu muziku
I to mi slama srce
To slama moje srce
slama moje
srce
slama moje srce

thanks so much spring!
you made my day

1 down, 10 to go. hah

lol
sorry I really don't seem to find time nowadays.. and I guess it's always harder to translate from English than the other way around (If someone told me before I'd ever say that, I wouldn't believe it! but it's different with lyrics because translation kills the essence in a way

Vreme me ne pušta

Kad god pogledam iza sebe
najbolje dane svog života
čini mi se da sam ih sve gledao na TV-u
tako sam sada nostalgičan za
nekim koga nikada nisam poznavao
nekim mestom na kojem nikada nisam bio

Vreme me ne pušta
Vreme me ne pušta
kad bih sve opet ponovo
vratio bi se i promenio sve
ali vreme me ne pušta

Ja nikada nisam imao "Leto 69"
Nikada nisam imao svoju Cherry Valance
sve te dragocene trenutke za koje si tvrdila da će doći s vremenom
Pa, gde sam onda ja bio kad sam propustio svoje?

Vreme me ne pušta
Vreme me ne pušta
Kada bi mi vratila one godine
sve bih bolje uradio, kunem se
Vreme me ne pušta

Kad bih mogao nazad ponovo
promenio bih sve, da
kad bih mogao nazad ponovo
sve bih mnogo bolje uradio

Vreme me ne pušta
Vreme me ne pušta
Kada bih mogao sve ispočetka
vratio bih se i promenio sve

thank you again!
and yea i sorta see what you mean about how it kills it in a way.
cuz it cant rhyme like it does in the original language and then some words are just lessened when translated.
one day i'll be strong enough in my croatian to not need your help!
but sadly that day looks pretty far. haha
i appreciate you helping me soo much! your the best.

Loše sunce

Mi smo lažni kao letnje doba
mi smo luckasti kao proleće
mi smo proroci kao jesen
kao zima mi smo okrutni

Ne znam šta nije u redu sa nama
jedostavno su nas tako stvorili
ima neka greška u tebi i meni
koja nas spaja

I ne znam gde pripadamo
mislim da smo rasli pod lošim suncem
znam da nismo kao svi drugi
ti i ja, mi smo rasli pod lošim suncem

Svakoga dana donosiš mi bol
i mi u njoj uživamo kao u kiši
držimo je na svojim jezicima
baš kao vino

Jednoga dana kada bili smo mladi
mislim da nešto pošlo je po zlu
nas dvoje visimo
sa istog uvrnutog užeta

I ne znam gde pripadamo
mislim da smo rasli pod lošim suncem
znam da nismo kao svi drugi
ti i ja, mi smo rasli pod lošim suncem

Ti i ja, mi rasli smo pod lošim suncem


PS
of course it doesnt rhyme lol

you are awesome.

Well, I am really not happy with the translations but I can't do it much differently (unless if I get carried away and make my own poetic versions lol)

Ne idem kući bez tebe

Zamolio sam je da ostane ali nije htela da sluša
otišla je pre nego što sam imao šansu da izustim
Oh
reči koje bi zalečile stvari što su slomljene
ali sada je prekasno, ona je otišla

Svake noći zaspeš plačući:
misleći: "zašto mi se ovo dešava?
zašto svaki trenutak mora biti tako težak?"
u to je teško poverovati

Noćas nije kraj
samo daj mi još jednu šansu da ispravim sve
možda ne dočekam jutro
ne idem kući bez tebe

Ukus tvog daha, nikada neću preboleti
zvuci nje držali su me budnim
Oh
teške su stvari što ostale su neizrečene
toliko su uzavrele da nas je to slamalo svaki dan

Svake noći zaspeš plačući:
misleći: "zašto mi se ovo dešava?
zašto svaki trenutak mora biti tako težak?"
u to je teško poverovati

Noćas nije kraj
samo daj mi još jednu šansu da ispravim sve
možda ne dočekam jutro
ne idem kući bez tebe

Noćas nije kraj
samo daj mi još jednu šansu da ispravim sve
možda ne dočekam jutro
ne idem kući bez tebe

Od svega što sam osećao ali nikad nisam pokazao,
valjda je najgore to što sam te pustio da odeš
Nikada te ne bih smeo pustiti da odeš,oh oh oh

Noćas nije kraj
samo daj mi još jednu šansu da ispravim sve
možda ne dočekam jutro
ne idem kući bez tebe

Noćas nije kraj
samo daj mi još jednu šansu da ispravim sve
možda ne dočekam jutro
ne idem kući bez tebe
I neću ići kući bez tebe

why arent you happy with them? is that why your skipping some because those ones didnt translate good?

yeah i'm skipping because i don't like the sound of them in serbian lol but i'll go back to them eventually lol
