Darina [English translation]

We didn't know each other.

we found each other when

both born there

on the Balkan side,

By what strange story

it all started.

I have no memory

I have no past.

I had to wait for you.

it took a long time

from the most tender moment

to the strongest of torments.

I'll be watching the days

the months and the moment

when you will say hello,

when you say Mama.

Darina, I know how to say I love you

but I've never said it so much.

Darina everything that chains me to you

is so different now.

I know that, as time goes by,

I'll have to adapt,

but we have time

to adopt each other well.

I'll watch you grow up,

I will watch you run,

I will see you fall,

I'll see you cry.

{to the chorus}

I know that some night

we'll really talk,

we'll make history

with a new feeling.

My heart will be in my throat,

my eyes will glisten,

when I see you dancing around

I'll say that's my girl.

[to the chorus].

We didn't know each other.

we found each other when

both born there,

on the other side of the Balkans.
