Kad se snjegovi otope

Bila je zima,It was winter,jedne godine,one year,grad prekriše,the city was coveredzimske pahulje.in winter snowflakes.I bilo je jedno šetalište,And there was a promenade,i drvene klupe i drveće,and wooden benches and trees,i jedna rijeka,and a riveršto još uvijek tuda protiče.that still flows through there.I ja sam bio tu,And I was there,u zimskom kaputu,in my winter coat,sa zebnjom u srcu,with dread in my heart,tebe sam čekao.waiting for you.

Sjećam se ulice,I remember the street,zaleđene,frozen over,škripanja snijegathe creak of snowi punog mjeseca.and the full moon.Iza zavjesa,Behind the curtainssjene su igrale,shadows were acting outneke svoje živote,lives of their own,meni strane uloge.roles foreign to me.

Na terasi hotela,On the hotel terracenije bilo stolova,there were no tables,ni svatova nije bilo,no wedding guests either,baš nikoga.nobody at all.Ni djece,No children,ni kumova,no best men,ni uplakanih majki,no tearful mothers,ni lijepih haljina.no pretty dresses.

Došlo je proljeće,Spring camete godine,that year,sa ulica su nestalethe white snowflakesbijele pahulje.vanished from the streets.

Na terasi hotela,On the hotel terracesvatovi su igrali,the wedding guests were dancing,sjećam se još dobro danaI still remember well the daykad ste se uzeli.you two got married.

I one zimske noći, kada nisi došla,And that winter night, when you didn't come,kada sam prokleo bijele pahulje,when I cursed the white snowflakes,a da ni slutio nisam, šta će se zbiti,without the faintest idea what would happenkad se snjegovi otope.when the snows melt.

Da, te zimske noći, kada nisi došla,Yes, that winter night, when you didn't come,kada sam prokleo bijele pahulje,when I cursed the white snowflakes,a da ni slutio nisam, šta će se zbiti,without the faintest idea what would happenkad se snjegovi otope.when the snows melt.
