Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns had been pounding all through the night
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the field's I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
While the armies are all sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we'd madeSting - Fortress Around Your Heart - http://motolyrics.com/sting/fortress-around-your-heart-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
Sting - Tvrđava oko tvog srca (Serbian translation)
Pod ruševinama utvrđenog grada
Trošnih kula i greda žute svetlosti
Nema zastava primirja, nema plača sažaljenja
Opsedajući pištolji bombardovali su cele noći
Bio je potreban dan da se izgradi grad
Šetali smo njegovim ulicama posle podne
Kako sam se vratio preko polja koja sam poznavao
Prepoznao sam zidove koje sam jednom sagradio
Morao sam da se zaustavim na mojim stazama od straha
Da ću hodati po minama koje sam postavio
I ako sam sagradio ovu tvrđavu oko tvog srca
Okružio te rovovima i bodljikavom žicom
Onda mi dozvoli da izgradim most
Jer ne mogu da popunim jaz
I dozvoli mi da zapalim zidine
Onda sam otišao u neki boj
Koji sam izmislio u svojoj glavi
Daleko tako dugo, godinama i godinamaSting - Fortress Around Your Heart - http://motolyrics.com/sting/fortress-around-your-heart-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
Verovatno si pomislila ili čak poželela da sam mrtav
Dok sve armije spavaju
Pod oronulom zastavom koju smo napravili
Morao sam da se zaustavim na mojim stazama od straha
Da ću hodati po minama koje sam postavio
I ako sam sagradio ovu tvrđavu oko tvog srca
Okružio te rovovima i bodljikavom žicom
Onda mi dozvoli da izgradim most
Jer ne mogu da popunim jaz
I dozvoli mi da zapalim zidine
Ovaj zatvor je sada postao tvoj dom
Kazna koju si izgleda spremna da otplatiš
Bio je potreban dan da se izgradi grad
Šetali smo njegovim ulicama posle podne
Kako sam se vratio preko polja koja sam poznavao
Prepoznao sam polja gde sam se nekad igrao
Morao sam da se zaustavim na mojim stazama od straha
Da ću hodati po minama koje sam postavio
