Dodji

Parni valjak - Dodji



Probably one of the best songs I have ever heard. Words so emotional, rhythm so touching. Gave my best to make it "singable" and maintain the number of syllables, and the sense, though it's not always literal translation. Didn't translate all the strophes, maybe some day when I have more time. French version sounds better IMHO. I'd really like some time to hear it from somebody who can sing. :)

Viens ici,
Tout Oublie,
Je t'offre des nuits magique,
Et des reveils dans mon lit du miel.
Viens ici,
Et reste ici,
Je t'offre mes pleurs comme des perles
Mes intentions sont toujours sinceres.

J'aimerais m'endormir,
dans tes bras fragils,
Et la-bas je pourrais bien mourir.
Que le temps passe bien,
Pour moi, c'est rien,
Je deja attends toute ma vie.

Come to me,
I'll be here,
I offer nights with magic,
And mornings made of sugar and of silk.
Come to me,
And stay with me,
I offer tears instead of pearls,
My plans with you
Are still the way they were.

I would gladly fall asleep,
In your arms so sweet,
And I'd never wake up from the dream,
Let the time passes by,
With this lullaby
I've been waiting for so many years.
