Rekom bez vode [English translation]

There were fires, but not one could warm you up,

There were white snows, but none that could settle,

Like a dry river without water my life has gone.

You don't pay at the bridge, you pay on the crossing*

because destiny's shadow always follows you

and gives you somebody like yourself.

Ref.

Who is it that sent you to me?

Because they don't want to take you back.

You are too much for some people

because you are made especially for me.

It is hard for me to love you

It is hard being a woman

but of all these things, it is the hardest

having to be born for you.

There were secrets, but not one surfaced,

and the sweetness of heaven was enjoyed by others,

I was a bird with glass wings on the wind.

You don't pay at the bridge, you pay on the crossing, because destiny's shadow always follows you

and gives you somebody like yourself.

Ref.

For a long time I have not heard the question,

Why don't you smile, girl,

so I laugh to stop myself from crying.
