Dar Williams - Iowa
I've never had a way with women
But the hills of Iowa make me wish that I could
And I've never found a way to say I love you
But if the chance came by, oh I, I would
But way back where I come from we never mean to bother
We don't like to make our passions other peoples concern
And we walk in the world of safe people
And at night we walk into our houses and burn
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
How I long to fall just a little bit
To dance out of the lines and stray from the light
But I fear that to fall in love with you
Is to fall from a great and gruesome height
So you know I asked a friend about it, on a bad day
Her husband had just left her, she sat down on the chair he'd left behindDar Williams - Iowa - http://motolyrics.com/dar-williams/iowa-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
She said, "What is love, where did it get me?
Whoever thought of love is no friend of mine"
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Once I had everything, I gave it up
For the shoulder of your driveway and the words I've never felt
So for you, I came this far across the tracks
Ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and I'd do it again
For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion
For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see
You were a-wandering out on the hills of Iowa
And you were not thinking of me
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Iowa, Iowa, I, Iowa
Dar Williams - Ajova (Serbian translation)
Nikad nisam znala sa zenama
Ali brežuljci (brda) Ajove me teraju da poželim da to umem
I nikad nisam našla način da kažem "volim te"
Ali kad bih imala šansu, oh, rekla bih.
Ali tamo odakle sam ja, mi nikad ne zelimo da smetamo
Ne volimo da svoje čežnje pretvaramo u brigu drugih ljudi
I hodamo svetom bezbednih ljudi
I noću ulazimo u svoje kuće i palimo (gorimo)
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Koliko čeznem da bar malo padnem (?)
Da plešem izvan linija i zalutam od svetlosti
Ali se bojim da zaljubiti se u tebe
isto je kao pasti sa ogromne i strašne visine
Znaš upitala sam drugaricu o tome, jednog dana kad je bila loše volje
Tek ju je bio ostavio muž. Sela je na stolicu koju je ostavio za sobomDar Williams - Iowa - http://motolyrics.com/dar-williams/iowa-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
Rekla je, "Šta je ljubav, gde me ona dovela?
Ko god da je izmislio ljubav, on nije moj prijatelj."
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Nekad sam imala sve, a odrekla sam se svega
da bih bila s tobom rame uz rame (at least I guess so cause she literally says za rame tvoga puta), i za reči koje nikad nisam osetila
Dakle za tebe, došla sam ovoliko daleko preko šina (staza, puteva)
Deset milja iznad dozvoljene brzine, i bez pojasa, i ponovo bih to uradila
Zato što noćas sam istrčala kroz kroz mrežu diskrecije
Zato što sam se probudila iz noćne more koju nisam mogla da zamislim da ću doživeti
Ti si bila lutalica na brežuljcima Ajove
I nisi mislila na mene
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
Ajova, Ajova, ja, Ajova
