Cvek mentions feeding on memories like green grapes and radio songs. He says ‘Nothing is greater than life’ and ‘Home is people’ about those he cherishes. The singer describes tasting life’s bittersweet moments on the run.
Postajemo SlikeWe’re becoming just pictures.
Nas Je Brod U BociOur ship is trapped in a bottle.
Sto Ce Reci VrijemeWhat will time say,
Kad Nas StigneWhen it finally catches us?
Kkoliko Smo DaliHow much have we given?
Samo Dobrote Nek Ne FaliJust make sure kindness isn’t missing.
Sjecam Se Bakinog VrtaI remember Grandma’s garden,
Zelenog Grozda Ljetnog Suncanog JutraThe green grapes, the sunny summer morning.
Sjecam Se Stare Ceste Do ViraI remember the old road to Vir,
Dok Na Radiju Svira Starom Najdraza StvarWhile my old man’s favorite song plays on the radio.
Sjecam Se Osmijeha MajkeI remember Mom’s smile,
Puta Do Skole Prve Ljubavi ZarkeThe path to school, the first burning love.
Sjecam Se Malenog BrijegaI remember the little hill,
Sanjki I Snijega Doline Bezbriznog SnaThe sleds and snow, the valley of carefree sleep.
Livada Kraj Kuce DekaThe meadow by the house waits,
Putnika Svog Doma ZoveCalling its home’s traveler back.
Sve Je Krug Pa IspocetkaEverything’s a circle, then starts over.
Daleke Sanjam SnoveI dream distant dreams.
Uspomenama Se HranimI feed on these memories,
Dok U Trku Zivot KusamAs I taste life on the run.
Nekad Ljubi Nekad RaniSometimes it kisses, sometimes it wounds.
Prave Karte Rijetko PruzaIt rarely deals the right cards.
Stihovima Punim JedraI fill my sails with verses,
Ponosan I Slab Na SvojeProud, yet I have a soft spot for my own.
Dizem Sidro Smjer Se MijenjaI raise the anchor, the course changes.
Vodite Me Doma VodeWaters, carry me home,
Mojem Malom Klupku SreceTo my little bundle of joy.
Njeno Bilo Za Mnom ZudiHer heartbeat longs for me.
Od Zivota Nije Nista VeceNothing is greater than life.
Dom Su LjudiHome is the people.
Sjecam Se Bakinog VrtaI remember Grandma’s garden,
Zelenog Grozda Ljetnog Suncanog JutraThe green grapes, the sunny summer morning.
Sjecam Se Stare Ceste Do ViraI remember the old road to Vir,
Dok Na Radiju Svira Starom Najdraza StvarWhile my old man’s favorite song plays on the radio.
Sjecam Se Osmijeha MajkeI remember Mom’s smile,
Puta Do Skole Prve Ljubavi ZarkeThe path to school, the first burning love.
Sjecam Se Malenog BrijegaI remember the little hill,
Sanjki I Snijega Doline Bezbriznog SnaThe sleds and snow, the valley of carefree sleep.
