Otkucaj (Heartbeat)

Da li, da li, da li kad se sretnemo
Pomisliš što i ja,
Kako se na nebu Sunce raširi,
Zemlja zaustavlja.

Zastane vreme,
Stane i sat,
Prekine vetar let,
Samo se čuje otkucaj tek,
Tiho dok se vrti svet.

I jasno da smo ti i ja
Jedan deo istog nemira.
Kako da ti pridjem,
Da zadržim dah.
Jasno da smo ti i ja -
Jedan deo istog svemira,
Mi smo kao zvezde,
Našeg tihog mjuzikla...

Da li, da li, da li kad se sretnemo
Prekine vetar let...

Samo se čuje otkucaj tek,
Tiho, dok se vrti svet.

I jasno da smo ti i ja
jedan deo istog nemira.
Kako da ti pridjem,
Da zadržim dah,
I jasno da smo ti i ja -
Jedan deo istog svemira,
Mi smo kao zvezde,
Našeg tihog mjuzikla...

Kao da se ljute,
Koraci zaćute
Trena ovog čarobnog.
Otkucaj se čuje
Srca mog i srca tvog.

I wonder if you hear it too,
Not a whisper am I letting through.
We’re single heartbeat
Life has torn in two.

I wonder if you feel it too,
But you hear it deep inside of you
Pounding out a rhythm
We are moving to.

Do you also think of the same thing
When we meet?
How the sky bathes in the sunlight
And the Earth stops spinning in a beat.

Time stands still,
Clocks stop ticking, too,
The wind is left without sound.
I can only hear a heartbeat,
Silent, as the world is spinning around…

It’s clear that the two of us
Are one piece of the same restless world.
How do I get closer to you,
Just to tell you that
It’s clear that the two of us –
Are one piece of the same universe?
You and I are the stars
Of this silent musical of ours.

Tell me, tell me: when we meet,
Is the wind left without sound…?
I can only hear a heartbeat,
Silent, as the world is spinning around.

And it’s clear that the two of us
Are one piece of the same restless world.
How do I get closer to you,
Just to tell you that
It’s clear that the two of us –
Are one piece of the same universe?
You and I are the stars
Of this silent musical of ours.

As if they were angry, sour,
Steps fall silent
In this magical hour.
I can only hear a heartbeat.
It’s my heart, and yours, that’s beating.

I wonder if you hear it too,
Not a whisper am I letting through.
We’re single heartbeat
Life has torn in two.

I wonder if you feel it too,
But you hear it deep inside of you
Pounding out a rhythm
We are moving to.
