Ah… ah… ah…
Hrepenim iz globin, čez nebo rišem sonce
Preko sanj, le zanj mečem luč v njegove sence
Ki slovo jemljejo, brez spomina z luknjami
Kot med dlanmi da odteče pesek časa
Verjamem da znova, ujela se bova
In včeraj za zmeraj, se vrne z reko luči
Še pesem našla si pot bo do rim če grem za njim
Ah… ah… ah… ah…
Čutim da grem do dna, nemi glas poje v molu
Vendar pa zavel mi ne bo veter belih zastav
Verjamem, da znova, ujela se bova
In včeraj za zmeraj se vrne z reko luči
Nov dan lačen je sonca in nezlagan
Oh… (Ker jaz se ne predam pred koncem)
(Ker jaz se ne predam pred koncem)
Ker jaz se ne predam pred koncem
Jaz preživim le na svoj način
Ah… ah… ah…
I am longing from the bottom of my heart, drawing sun across the sky
Over the dreams just for him, casting light onto his shadows
To bid farewell of memories which have holes
As between the palms of hands, while the sand of time drains
I believe that again, we will reconcile
And yesterday will return for good with streams of light
Even the song will find it’s rhymes if I hold to him
Ah… ah… ah… ah…
I sense I am drawing to a close, a silent voice is singing in minor scale
However, there won’t be wind to blow white flags
I believe that again, we will reconcile
And yesterday will return for good with streams of light
A new day is shining a real sun
Oh… (Because I do not surrender until the very end)
(Because I do not surrender until the very end)
Because I do not surrender until the very end
I survive in my own way
