Separate Ways [Serbian translation]

Today I saw

a face I only dream of

I recognized

a feeling that I used to know

from another time, a space I thought I left

long ago

I stood a while,

I felt my breath escape me,

and spoke her name

then as she turned to face me

For a second there was something in her eyes,

as if to say

Nothing has ever changed.

We took our separate ways,

but in our hearts we never changed,

we threw it all away

could we go back once again?

I learnt to carry on,

I learnt to face another day,

without her, without her trace.

So close we nearly touched,

I almost took her hand in mine,

time can fall away

but nothing can change the man inside

or bring us back the love once we denied

The candle burned, but in the world of darkness

I’d separate

my life before and after her

Now I see that nothing ever really changed,

but it’s too late

I stood a while

I felt my breath escape me

spoke her name

then as she turned to face me

for a second there was something in her eyes

as if to say

time and tide can wait

We took our separate ways,

but in our hearts we never changed,

we threw it all away

could we go back once again?

I learnt to carry on,

I learnt to face another day,

without her, without her trace.

So close we nearly touched,

I almost took her hand in mine,

time can fall away

but nothing can change the man inside

or bring us back the love once we denied
