HOW COME YOU HAVE ME...

How come you have me

I would like to know

Since I've been in you

How come I'm in your dreams

How come my shadow

Roams under your eyelids

How come the letters of my name

In the lapel of your heart

How come my whispers

Echo through your chest

How come my touch

Comes through your lips

How come my tears

In your black eyes

How come my sadness

In your sleepless nights

How come my tenderness

In your whistful rhymes

How come my gaze

Deep in your eyes

Am I the cause of your suffering

Since I've been in you

Answers I want to know

How come you have me ...

Odakle tebi ja . . .

Odakle tebi ja

Otkad me u tebi ima

Htjela bih da znam

Otkud u tvojim snovima

Otkud se moja sjena

Pod tvojim kapcima smuca

Otkud slova moga imena

U reveru tvoga srca

Odakle moji uzdasi

Paraju tvojim grudima

Otkud moji dodiri

Obodom tvojih usana

Odakle moja suza

U tvojim crnim očima

Odakle moja tuga

U tvojim besanim noćima

Odakle moje nježnosti

U tvojim sjetnim pjesma

Odakle moji pogledi

Duboko u tvojim zjenama

Jesam li tvoja robija

Odgovore želim da znam

Otkad me u tebi ima

Odakle tebi ja . . .

IN THE POCKET OF MY HEART…

In the pocket of my heart, I do feel  you

And I always look for you if I feel sorrow

And then I'm silent or I write to you

But my mind always stumbles on your shadow

Darling, open the door of your dreams to me

I'll  come to you gently with grace

I'll heal your soul, for sure it will be

With my lips I'll put a smile on your face

I want to hug you with my secret verses

In my heart, your image won't fade away

My fingers want to dance all over your outlines

For sweet memories till my hair turns gray

Maybe I'm not myself  or you're my punishment

Tears  come falling when the midnight strikes 

I seek depth of my pocket, my painful torment

So I finally realize happiness is somewhere else…

U džepu srca . . .

U džepu mog srca osjećam te slutim

Uvijek te tražim u trenutku sjete

Nešto ti napišem a više prećutim

Od obrise tvoje razum se saplete

Otvori mi dušo vrata tvojih snova

Prićiću ti plaho kao rajska ptica

Okrijepit dušu biće ti k'o nova

Obodom usana maći bore s' lica

Hoću da te grlim stihovima svojim

U mom srcu lik ti neće da blijedi

Prstima da plešem obrisima tvojim

Za sjećanja draga dok kosa sijedi

Ne znam dal' si kazna il nisam sva svoja

Kad ponoć zašušti suza kane neka

Dohvatim do džepa bolna rano moja

I  napokon  shvatim sreća si daleka . . .

YOU ARE…

You are the only cure for my injury

my good mood throughout the day

consolation at night and in a real quandary

when I feel bad you're with me anyway

You are  a bright sparkle of my dark eye

all that I need in my life and everyplace

my distance from here up to the sky

gentle breeze caressing my face

You are my  sunset perfection

landscape in golden autumn  shades

lover of body and heart reaction

breath of a breeze under sleepy eyelids

You are my poem in all its brilliance

Morning awakening and the first impression

my only need and point of my existence

everlasting source of my love and devotion

You are a detainee of my faithful heart

unique pearl-shell in a steel  shield

my  solid foundation and my great trust

And I'm the owner of your soul goldfield

You are . . .

Ti si . . .

Ti si moj lijek i melem za rane

moje si raspoloženje u cik zore

utjeha za noći i tegobne dane

tu si uz mene kad mi je najgore

Moga tamnog oka sjajna si iskrica

i sve si ono što mi u životu treba

nježni lahor što mazi konture lica

moje rastojanje odavde do neba

Ti si moj bajni zalalazak sunca

pejsaž u zlatnim bojama jeseni

zaljubljenik pokreta tijela i srca

udah razvigora pod kapak sneni

I moja si veličanstvena pjesma

jutarnje buđenje i prva misao

bistre ljubavi nepresušna česma

jedina potreba i životna smisao

A ja sam odaja tvoje duše kraljica

biserna školjka u oklopu čelika

Ti zatočenik moga vjernog srca

moj čvrsti temelj i uzdanica velika

Ti si . . .
