Song about Drazen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCDPt-pk2AQ

Zivot leti, kapetane

To što fali riči,
što nas manje ima,
šibenska će pisma,
vraćati te svima.

Sve je manje suza,
a ti se ne ljuti,
slomljena nam duša,
u prsima ćuti.

Život leti, kapetane,
mladost biži, a na srcu friži,
dok nas s našeg kampanela,
i sad bude od Boga batude.

Svoju si dobrotu ostavija svima,
nekoj novoj dici igru s Baldekina.

Kad nediljon klapa,
skupi se u kali,
svi se tebe situ,
kapetan im fali.

A dani se vrte,
ka basket, ka srića,
najlipšu si priču,
o mladosti priča.

Život leti, kapetane,
mladost biži, a na srcu friži,
dok nas s našeg kampanela,
i sad bude od Boga batude.

Svoju si dobrotu ostavija svima,
Šibeniku svome zlato s Baldekina.

Song about Drazen

Pohani, is there any chance we can get a translation or partial translation of the lyrics?

I could try, but latter...but I think it is better to ask somebody who is better than me with English

[Delibasic]

Here we go, translated by me F.P with little bit of help from my beautiful wife A.P


Life Flies By Captain

There's not enough words
and even less of us
but the Sibenik song
brings you back to us

There's less of tears
don't get angry please
our soul is broken
our words unspoken

Life flies by captain
our youth is gone, there are scars on our hearts
and from our clocktower
you can hear God's angry thunder

(this last line is very hard to translate so there's a fair bit of artistic licence/improvisation going on)

You left your goodness deep within
and your game to the kids from Baldekin (suburb in Sibenik)

When on Sunday friends
get together in the hall
everyone remembers you
you are missed by all

Days are rolling on
Like the ball, like luck
And your greatest story
Is from when you were young

Life flies by captain
our youth is gone, there are scars on our hearts
and from our clocktower
you can hear God's angry thunder

You left your goodness deep within
and your game to the kids from Baldekin

these two could not serve coffee to one and only drazen. people are forgetting that drazen played nba when all other players from all over the world could not even watch ti from the stands.

so great is his legacy that all those players that came after him (like manu and dirk) are reaping the benefits to this day.

Monument to be inaugurated tomorrow in Šibenik. What took them so long?
Btw shouldn't the ball be on his hands instead?

his mother is pretey unclear. acording to her it shows how it all started. drazen as child thinking and dreaming about his future. something like that

[pohani komarac]

Aco Petrovic said there is posibility that NBA team comes to Zagreb next year to play with Cibona or Croatian NT in memory of Drazen
