U toploj tami sobe, još cigarete dve
Dva mala svetla sve su bliže, bliže
Ta noć je stvorena za njih, taj san je snen i tako tih
Dve zvezde sad će poć', na dalek stari put
U plavom staklu vaze, tu negdje izpod ruža
Dva mala svetla sve su bliže, bliže
Taj dan je bio tako tih, sad san se spušta među njih
Već gasiš cigaretu, pružaš ruke snu
Taj dan je bio tako tih, sad san se spušta među njih
I dve će zvezde poć', na dalek stari put
U plavom staklu vaze, tu negdje izpod ruža
Dva mala svetla sve su bliže, bliže
Ta noć je stvorena za njih, sad san se spušta tako tih
Već gasiš cigaretu, pružaš ruke snu
Ne pali svetla u ѕumrаk
In the warm darkness of the room, two cigarettes
Two tiny lights are closer and closer
This night is made for them, this dream is so slow and quiet
Two stars will now depart on a long journey
In the blue glass of the vase, under the roses
Two tiny lights are closer and closer
That day was so quiet, now sleep is descending upon them
You're putting out your cigarete, embracing sleep
That day was so quiet, now sleep is descending upon them
Two stars will depart on a long journey
In the blue glass of the vase, under the roses
Two tiny lights are closer and closer
This night is made for them, now sleep is coming, so quiet
You're putting out your cigarete, embracing sleep
Don't turn the lightѕ on аt twilight
