Prevođenje - Srpski-Engleski - Ni oka da sklopim, postelja prazna tera san, ...

Hi maki,

I didn't get the first line.
"Neither an eye to close".

What does it mean?

Hi Lilian,

That's literal translation.
Maybe it would sound better: "I can't fall asleep" or something like that.

Do you have any suggestion?

Well...here is my suggestion:

"Neither an eye to close,"

"My eyes don't even close"

the empty bed pushes the dream (?) away,
and life is melting
it quickly disappears, like in a clap of hands.

Does this change the original?

Thanks Lilian.

It doesn't change the meaning at all.
I just don't know what did you mean by "(?)" in the second line.

I meant: is that dreams or "sleep"?

In the original stands "dream" (singular).
That means that she can't fall asleep, so she can't dream.

OK then, I've set a poll.

I found an official English version of this song:

"I'm wide awake
An empty bed drives my dreams away
Life melts like ice
Disappears in the twinkling of an eye"

What do you think? Should I write this or should I leave my version?

Well I liked that, I think we could use it. It sounds fine in English.

By the way...whose song is that?

Marija Šerifović
She is a Serbian singer and the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 (with this song).
