Olivera [English translation]

On the threshold of my twenties

I was easy to get

there were modern vagabonds of that days

I don't even want to remember all of that

You know, i wanted to try everything

forbidden fruit called me from all kinds of branches..

Yes, now i regret,

but what did i knew then?

you were just a little girl

your tuft was flying on the wind like a butterfly..

Everything would have some differrent meaning

i would breathe life much differently

if i knew you exist my Olivera

Maybe i stood in front of same shop window

with you, not knowing that..

Maybe we got out from the same train together not knowing that?

Maybe you were so close to me

passed by through my street..

and maybe we pass over next to each other on the momment..

who knows?

Yes, now i regret,

but what did i knew then?

you were just a little girl..

away from my eyes, and my pen

Everything would have some differrent meaning

I would not write songs to every girl i know..

if i just knew you exist my olivera

Everything would have some differrent meaning

i would steal you from the crowd

and no one would know what i am up to..

I would know where i can find my peace

i would hide in the secret monastery

and wait for you to grow up..
