But you're still there, Palestine/Al’ Tebe još ima Palestino

Hours, days, months and now years pass.

You have been wounded, unfortunate Palestine, and you still hurt.

I cry, my tears are heavy, but what can I do and how can I?

I am just a helpless observer in the distance, who loves humanity.

Difficult moments pass, moments that are as long as eternity,

Your tears, my tears, our tears flow in a waterfall.

There is no justice, it drags on slowly somewhere in a desert without rain and soil,

And I wonder what you will lean on, where that solid stick will be found.

The days pass, I no longer count them, neither in myself, nor in you.

Your wounds are endless and there is no balm in sight on your forehead.

I look now with my eyes wide open, and then I close my eyelids.

Where does this suffering end, how can I calm my trembling soul?

Time passes, and your wounds hurt me, Palestine.

Endure, survive, don't let the evildoers destroy you.

The days are hard and painful, without a horizon, there is no sun at sunrise,

But you are still there, despite the suffering that tears you apart and oppresses you.

Al’ Tebe još ima Palestino

Prolaze sati, dani, mjeseci pa sad već i godine.

Izranjavana si nesretna Palestino i još te boli.

Ja plačem, moje su suze teške, al’ što ću i kako ću?

Ja sam samo nemoćni promatrač u daljini koji ljudskost voli.

Prolaze teški trenutci, trenutci kao vječnost dugi,

Tvoje suze, moje suze, naše suze slijevaju se u slap.

Pravde nema, sporo se vuče negdje u pustinji bez kiše i tla

I pitam se na što ćeš se nasloniti, gdje će se naći taj čvrsti štap.

Prolaze ti dani, ne brojim ih više niti u sebi, niti u tebi,

Tvoje su rane bez kraja i ne nazire se melem na čelu.

Ja čas gledam očima širom otvorenim, čas zatvaram vijeđe.

Gdje prestaje ta patnja, kako umiriti dušu ustreptalu?

Prolazi vrijeme, a tvoje me rane bole Palestino.

Izdrži, preživi, ne daj se zlotvorima da te unište.

Teški su i bolni dani bez obzora, sunca nema na izlasku,

Al’ tebe još ima, usprkos patnjama koji te razdiru i tište.
