Život je sklopio krug

Život je sklopio krug	Life has come full circle
Tu više nema bijega	There is no escape anymore
Svijet je zatvorio krug	The world has closed the circle
Pa neka i biljka i ptica	So may the plant and the bird
Budu kao čovjek, drug	Be like a human, like a friend

I grana već da postanem	And if I became a branch
Moje bi lišće mislilo	My leaves would ponder
O ne bi se samo u jesen	Oh, and the red gold would not
Crveno zlato lilo	Teem only in the autumn

U kamen da se pretvorim	If I turned into stone
Već ne bi naš'o zaborav	I would not be forgotten
Bio bi na obali jedini	I would be the only one on the shore
Kamen zamišljen i plav	A thinking, blue stone

Tu više nema bijega	There is no escape anymore
Život je sklopio krug	Life has come full circle
Pa neka i brijeg i suton	So may the hill and the dusk
Budu kao čovjek, drug	Be like a human, like a friend

U kamen da se pretvorim	If I turned into stone
Već ne bi naš'o zaborav	I would not be forgotten
Bio bi na obali jedini	I would be the only one on the shore
Kamen zamišljen i plav	A thinking, blue stone

Tu više nema bijega	There is no escape anymore
Život je sklopio krug	Life has come full circle
Pa neka i brijeg i suton	So may the hill and the dusk
Budu kao čovjek, drug	Be like a human, like a friend
