Slovenske besede (with English lyrics) 💖 ____________________________________ Ko mene več ne bo, (When I am here no more,) bo vse tako kot zdaj, (All will be as now,) bo zemlja in nebo, (It will be Earth and sky,) bo pekel in bo raj, (It will be hell and it will be Heaven.) ko mene več ne bo. (When I am here no more.) ************************************** Ko mene več ne bo, (When I am here no more,) bo glasba še igrala. (Music will still be played.) Nekdo ti bo prepeval in ti se boš smejala, (Someone will sing to you and you will laugh,) ko mene več ne bo. (When I am here no more.) ************************************** Izmišljenim besedam (His made-up words,) nekakšnega poeta, (Some kind of poet,) ki morju sva i čustev (In a sea of emotions) spregleda tvoja leta. (He will overlook your years.) in sploh ne ve, (He will not even know,) da midva sva vse to že imela, (That we already had all of this,) da sva v drugačnih časih, (Yes!... at different times,) vse to že doživela. (All of this has been ours.) ************************************** Le malo bolj počasi, (Just a little slower,) podolgem in počez, (I am getting old... and moving,) le malo bolj na skrito, (Just a little more carefully,) in malo bolj zares. (And just a little more, indeed.) ************************************** Ko mene več ne bo, (When I am here no more,) bo smeh otrok ostal, (The children's laughter will remain,) in našel se bo kdo (And you will find someone) ki te bo še poznal, (Who will yet have you,) ko mene več ne bo. (When I am here no more.) ************************************** Morda te vpraša zame, (Perhaps he will ask you about me,) kje hodim zadnje čase, (What I was like toward the end,) če sem se res spremenil (If I was really different,) in sem zaljubljen vase. (And about us... being truly in love.) Pa mu povej, (Tell Him, Then!...) da midva sva to že preživela, (That we've been through this before!) da sva tako kot mnogi. (That we are like many.) Morda preveč želela. (Maybe we asked too much.) ************************************** Le malo bolj počasi, (Just a little slower,) podolgem in počez, (I am getting old... and moving,) le malo bolj na skrito, (Just a little more carefully,) in malo bolj zares. (And just a little more, indeed.) ************************************** Ko mene več ne bo, (When I am here no more,) bo vse še vedno isto, (Everything will still be as now,) te hiše in dvorišča, (This house and this courtyard,) ti parki in igrišča, (These wild places and these, our familiar haunts.) ko mene več ne bo, (When I am here no more...) ko mene več... ne bo. (When I am here... no more.) 💔🌹 ______________________________________ Surprising to me that there have not been any comments on this beautiful performance by Jure. I have only recently discovered this video of one of my all time favorite songs, and he has captured all of the emotion of this lovely song that it deserves. The English translation was originally done by my dear friend Tog Hoath for the beautiful performance by the Eroica Trio with the Gimnazija Kranj Youth Symphony Orchestra. There are some small variations in a couple of the verses, and their translation, which one will notice here. And I have also included a few of my own interpretations of a couple of the verses which, hopefully, better portray their meaning and emotion in English.
