Olivera [English translation]

On the threshold of my twenties

I was easy to get

those were the days of the modern vagabonds.

I don't even want to recall all of that

You know, I wanted to try everything

From all the branches the forbidden fruit called me.

Yes, now I regret,

but what did I know then?

You were just a little girl

your ponytail was flying with the wind like a butterfly.

Everything would have had

different meaning

I'd breathe my life differently

if I'd just knew you exist my Olivera.

Maybe I'd stood front of the same

shop window

with you, not knowing that,

Maybe we got off the same train, together, without knowing it?

Maybe you were so close to me

passed through my street.

and maybe we passed by each other briefly,

who knows?

Yes, now I regret,

but what did I know then?

You were just a little girl

your ponytail was flying with the wind like a butterfly.

Everything would have had

differrent meaning

I'd breathe my life differently

if I'd you by my side, Olivera.

Yes, now i regret,

but what did i know then?

you were just a little girl,

out of my sight, and my pen.

Everything would have had

different meaning

I wouldn't write songs to every girl I know,

if I'd just knew you exist, my Olivera

Everything would have had

differrent meaning

I would have stolen you from the crowd

and no one woud have an idea what I'm going to do.

I'd have knew from where I'd find my peace

I'd have hidden in the secret monastery

and waited you to grow up..
