Lyrics of Oči Deteta (Children's Eyes)

U suzi dečje tuge
sva su mora sveta.
U uplašenom oku
celo nebo stane.
A u zrnu nade, u sredini cveta,
Suncu šire ruke oči deteta.

U njima je pesma
ko more duboka.
O beskrajnom nebu,
o Suncu što greje.
O svetu u kome je sve baš kako treba
kad se dete voli, kad se dete smeje.


Očima deteta sve se vidi, sve se zna
I sva mora su u maloj suzi protkana.
U očima deteta zrno nade proklija
Kao topla reč Suncem hranjena.
Oči deteta.

Oči deteta svu lepotu sveta
najlepšom čuvaju.
U njima vile, vilenjaci, lutke i pajaci
najlepše, najlepše snivaju.

I kad Sunce igri prepusti dane
i ko neku čigru zavrti naš svet
u ritmu svih planeta neka bolje svane
da radosne se bude oči deteta.

Očima deteta sve se vidi, sve se zna
I sva mora su u maloj suzi protkana.
U očima deteta zrno nade proklija
Kao topla reč Suncem hranjena.
Oči deteta.


Očima deteta sve se vidi, sve se zna
I sva mora su u maloj suzi protkana.
U očima deteta zrno nade proklija
Kao topla reč Suncem hranjena.
Oči deteta.
In the tears of a child’s sorrow
are all the seas of the world
In a frightened eye
the whole sky stands.
And in a grain of hope, in the center of a flower,
the children’s eyes open the arms to the sun.

There is a song in them
deep like the sea.
About the endless sky,
about the sun that heats.
About a world where everything is just as it should be
when a child is loved, when a child laughs.


Children‘s eyes can see and know everything
and all the seas are interwoven in a tiny tear.
A grain of hope germinated in children's eyes
like a warm word fed by the sun.
Children's eyes.


All the beauty of the world is cherished as such
in children‘s eyes.
In them fairies, elves, dolls, and clowns
dream the most beautiful dreams.

And when the Sun makes room for play every day
and like a spinning top spins our world
in the rhythm of all the planets may it dawn better
to joyfully awaken the children‘s eyes.


Children‘s eyes can see and know everything
and all the seas are interwoven in a tiny tear.
A grain of hope germinated in children's eyes
like a warm word fed by the sun.
Children's eyes.

Children‘s eyes can see and know everything
and all the seas are interwoven in a tiny tear.
A grain of hope germinated in children's eyes
like a warm word fed by the sun.
Children's eyes.
