Nema vise sunca,
Nema vise meseca.
Nema tebe, nema mene.
Niceg vise, nema joj.
Pokriva nas ratna tama,
Pokriva nas tama joj.
A ja se pitam moja draga,
Sta ce biti sa nama ?
Mesecina, odneli je..joj joj, joj joj.
Sunce sija ponoc bije, joj joj, joj joj.
Sa nebesa zrak probija,
Niko ne zna, niko ne zna
Niko ne zna, niko ne zna,
Niko ne zna sta to sija

Ebglish translation :

There is no more sun
There is no more moon
You're gone, I'm gone
There is nothing anymore
The darkness of war has covered us, my dear
I ask myself, my dear
What will become of us
Moonlight, moonlight,
The sun is shining, the sun is shining
Fresh air is coming from the heaven
Nobody knows
Nobody knows what is shining

Ausencia, ausencia

Si asa um tivesse
Pa voa na esse distancia
Si um gazela um fosse
Pa corrê sem nem um cansera

Anton ja na bo seio
Um tava ba manchê
E nunca mas ausencia
Ta ser nôs lema

Ma sô na pensamento
Um ta viajà sem medo
Nha liberdade um tê'l
E sô na nha sonho

Na nha sonho miéforte
Um tem bô proteçäo
Um tem sô bô carinho
E bô sorriso

Ai solidäo tô'me
Sima sol sozim na céu
Sô ta brilhà ma ta cegà
Na sê claräo
Sem sabe pa onde lumia
Pa ondê bai
Ai solidäo é um sina

Ausencia, ausencia

English translation : (thanks to Ricardo Vitorino, Porto, Portugal)

Absence, absence… If I got wings
To fly at that distance
If I was a gazzella
To run without getting tired Then, at your side
I would see the daylight
And “absence never again”
It would be our lemma But only in my thoughts
I travel without fear
I got my freedom
Only in my dreams In my deep dreams
I have your protection
I have your love
And your smile Oh, I'm feeling lonely
Like the Sun alone in the sky
The sunshine is blind
Can't see his clarity
What he is illuminating
Where he goes next
Oh, solitude is my faith… Absence, absence…
