    Da li bi neko mogao da me pomogne sa ovom pesmom? Ima nekoliko reči koje ne razumem. Hvala unapred!

    Oba oka sklopi dobri anđele
    Close both your eyes, good angel
    to sto noćas šutim nije zbog tebe,
    It's not because of you that I'm silent tonight,
    ti bi nešto brzo da te podigne
    You'd like something to lift you up quickly
    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane,
    but I'm in the mood for slow things tonight
    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane.
    but I'm in the mood for slow things tonight

    Oba oka sklopi dobri anđele
    Close both your eyes, good angel
    nek' oproste mi tvoje dječje godine,
    let your youthful years forgive me
    ti bi nešto vruće da te zagrije
    you would want something hot to warm you
    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane,
    but I'm in the mood for slow things tonight
    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane.
    but I'm in the mood for slow things tonight

    Pusti me da drhtim
    Leave me to shiver
    i da sjetim se kako su me njene usne ljubile,
    and to remember how her lips kissed mine
    neke tuge nikad se ne prebole
    let me never heal from this sorrow
    ubit će me zbog nje stvari lagane,
    it will kill because of her slow things
    ubit će me zbog nje stvari lagane.
    it will kill me because of her slow things.

    I'm stronger than the tricks played on your heart. We look at them together then we take 'em apart. Adding up the total of a love that's true, multiply life by the power of two.

    Sure:

    to što noćas šutim nije zbog tebe
    that I'm silent tonight, it's not because of you

    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane
    and tonight slow things fit to me

    in sense I feel good with slow things, they're convinient in this moment.

    hvala! i'll edit my post with your corrections

    I had originally thought he was saying ćutim which means the same thing... what's the difference between ćutim and šutim?

    Ćutim is serbian, šutim is croatian. There's no other differences

    oh, okay. Thanks

    also, can you tell me the infinitive form of "pašu"? i'm guessing "pasti"?

    No. Pasti is to fall down.

    Pasati is infinitive from "pašu".

    1. (ja) pašem
    2. (ti) pašeš
    3. (on) paše

    1. (mi) pašemo
    2. (vi) pašete
    3. (oni) pašu

    The way i understood it, yes, there are two girls, he is talking to one and she is younger than him (thus the youthful years), but he is missing the other girl that he was with ("neke tuge nikad se ne prebole" - some sorrows you can't get over). That other girl liked "slow things" and the younger girl likes "fast things" (i.e. "ti bi nešto brzo da te podigne", "ti bi nešto vruće da te zagrije"). I presume that fast thing are related to sex, while slow things are more love oriented. I hope the things are clearer for you now, but songs are there for people to understand them however they want. My understanding can be different that someone else's etc.

    oh that's interesting. I always had a different understanding of it, but maybe because I'm not a native speaker of Serbian.

    I thought maybe he was singing to his child about a wife that had died. "good angel" seems like something you might call a young child and "let your youthful years forgive me" I thought of maybe a five year old child who wants to play and run around with his dad but his dad is sad because he's missing the kid's mom -- especially since the word dječje (youthful) also means childlike, from the word dete (child). Maybe you're right and he's an older guy in love with a younger woman missing his first wife who died (I'm pretty sure she's dead but maybe she just left him), but I don't know.

    As for the "ti bi nešto vruće da te zagrije" (you'd like something hot to warm you up) I'd imagined it was winter and the kid wants hot chocolate and a warm bath and the dad is too lost in his reminiscing even for that.

    But then, the line "to što noćas šutim nije zboj tebe" (it's not because of you that I'm silent tonight) does speak more to a relationship with a woman... since women are more likely to be curious when their partners are silent, whereas the kid probably doesn't want a deep meaningful conversation...

    Everyone might have their own interpretations , but I thought it was clear that fast/slow things he sings about actually refer to their music choices for that night. "Stvari lagane' is used in serbian when you're refering to slow music, ballads that is.
    That's why he says 'ubit ce me zbog nje stvari lagane' meaning those slow ballads will see the end of me (kill me) because of her (his ex).

    nek' oproste mi tvoje dječje godine
    may your young years forgive me (for not being in that up-lifting mood as the young girl, but rather choosing to drown in sorrow while listening to 'stvari lagane')

    Anyway I've loved this song for a very long time, and this has always been my interpretation of it.

    Heres my version hope it’s useful
    Its not word for word because as you saw with your translation word for word cannot make sense
    So I have tried to make it sound English and still be true to the song, lyrics and meaning
    Ive even sung it in the English version and it works
    Let me know what you think
    Cheers

    Oba oka sklopi dobri anđele
    Close your eyes, my angel


    to sto noćas šutim nije zbog tebe,
    Its not because of you that I am quiet tonight

    ti bi nešto brzo da te podigne
    You'd like something faster to lift you up

    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane,
    but tonight something soft and easy feels right

    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane.
    but tonight something soft and easy feels right

    Oba oka sklopi, dobri anđele
    Close your eyes, my angel

    nek' oproste mi tvoje dječje godine,
    may your young years forgive me

    ti bi nešto vruće da te zagrije
    You'd like something hot to heat you up

    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane,
    but tonight something soft and easy feels right

    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane.
    but tonight something soft and easy feels right

    Pusti me da drhtim
    Let me tremble

    “Pusti me da drhtim “refers more to let me be rather than to leave me

    (Shiver is more related to weather, tremble is more emotive)

    i da sjetim se kako su me njene usne ljubile,
    and remember how her lips were kissing mine

    neke tuge nikad se ne prebole
    there are some sorrows you can never get over

    ubit će me zbog nje stvari lagane,
    anything soft and easy will destroy me because of her

    ubit će me zbog nje stvari lagane.
    anything soft and easy will destroy me because of her

    nek' oproste mi tvoje dječje godine,

    a meni noćas pašu stvari lagane.

    He would like to listen to smooth songs, love songs, ballads, since he's depressed. She would rather listen to bouncing shake-it-up songs to energize herself, since she is young and full of life.

    ubit će me zbog nje stvari lagane,
    anything soft and easy will destroy me because of her

    Very depressed, actually, he's afraid that listening to those sad love songs would lead to the break of his self.
