Dva čoveka na svetu
s kojima se ukršta moj put postoje
jedan je onaj koga ja volim
drugi voli sve što je moje
Jedan
u mojim snovima večno živi
I čuva ga moj mračni um
drugi
pred mojim srcem stoji samo
A ja ga nikada ne puštam tamo
Jedan je bio samo tren prolećne nade
proćerdane sreće dah
drugi mi ceo svoj život dade
a, ne uzvratih mu ni sat.
I, jedan živi u mojim pesmama
gde je ljubav slobodna i vrela, poput krvi
drugi je onaj sa dosadnim danima
gde su svi snovi isušeni i sve se mrvi
Izmedju ovo dvoje sve žene pate, žude
Da budu u ljubavi, s voljenim, i čisto
Ali, samo jednom u svakih sto godina bude
Da se to dvoje spoje u isto..

The Eternal Three
There are two men in the world
that constantly crosses my path
The first is the one I love
The second gave me his heart.
The first one roars in the tune of my blood
Where loving is pure and free
The second becomes one with the sadest day
That drowns the dreams for me.
The first one gave me a springlike blow
Of happiness, swiftly gone
The other gave me his whole life
Of hours I gave him none.
The first is in a nightly dream
Living in the darkness of my mind
The second stands by the door of my heart
I never will let him in.
Every woman stands between these two
In love, beloved and free
It may happen once in a hundred years
That the two melt together becoming one.
