Sto I Da E Ke Pomine (Whatever It Is, It Will Pass)
was little and didn’t yet know That grown-ups also cry Look at once over my paper dragon Dropped my mother’s tears.
Waxen faces, leaden silence And covered mirrors, here’s an even number, Brought the old one of mine and quietly whispered "Dearest it isn’t easy for you, I know, You think the world has fallen apart But every bad thing is for good reason, Whatever it is, it will pass…"
We stand in love, me and you next to that January bridge. A wish in your olive eyes to make a bridge at Mostar. Around us like drunken voices They sing, oi machine, for the hundredth time. Instead of a curse I told you words, As soon as I go, that they should remain. And I know it is not easy for you, But every bad thing is for a good reason, Whatever it is, it will pass…
Our love still lives, It has a name and angelic face, It is standing confused at the threshold Of reality, with its pink nightmares. Your heart watches over it like a lioness And for days and nights naps with the old truth, and you wipe away the first tears of love. And I know it is not easy for you, But every bad thing is for a good reason, Whatever it is, it will pass…
The pain does not mean you should surrender So don’t cry, you have me, and hug me Whatever it is will pass, You have me, hug me.
