Ružica Si Bila [English translation]

You were a little rose inside my heart

You were my little rose!

But not for you the wild bramble

Nor a man like myself

The Lord giveth

and the Lord taketh away

You were a little rose

But you are no more

Every now and again

I seem to hear your footsteps

Walking over my threshold

Every now and again

Though I know I have no right

You're not mine anymore

Over my roof last night

Migratory birds flew

And I dreamt of your knees

And of your kisses

The Lord Giveth

and the Lord taketh away

You were a little rose

But you are no more

Every now and again

I seem to hear your footsteps

Walking over my threshold

Every now and again

Though I know I have no right

You're not mine anymore
