I went to a party,    Otišla sam na zabavu

And remembered what you said.  I zapamtila sam što si mi rekla
You told me not to drink, Mum  rekla si mi da ne pijem alkohol, mama
So I had a sprite instead.  Pa sam u zamjenu popila sprite,

 
I felt proud of myself, bila sam ponosna na sebe
The way you said I would, kao što si i rekla da ću biti
That I didn't drink and drive, što neću piti i voziti
Though some friends said I should.   Iako su neki prijatelji rekli da bih trebala

I made a healthy choice,   izabrala sam zdravlje
And your advice to me was right,  i tvoj savjet bio je pravi
The party finally ended, zabava je napokon završila
And the kids drove out of sight.   I djeca su se odvezla bez traga

I got into my car, ušla sam u svoj auto
Sure to get home in one piece, i bila sam sigurna da ću stići kući u jednom komadu
I never knew what was coming, Mum – nisam znala što me čekalo, mama
Something I expected least.  – ono čemu sam se najmanje nadala

Now I'm lying on the pavement,  sada ležim na pločniku
And I hear the policeman say, i čujem policajca kako govori
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, klinac koji je izazvao sudar bio je pijan
Mum, his voice seems far away. Mama, njegov glas mi se čini tako daleko

My own blood's all around me, - moja vlastita krv je svuda oko mene
As I try hard not to cry. –pokušavam jako da ne plačem
I can hear the paramedic say, -čujem doktore iz hitne kako govore
This girl is going to die.  – ova djevojka će umrijeti

I'm sure the guy had no idea, sigurna sam da dečko nije imao pojma
While he was flying high, dok je "letio visoko"
Because he chose to drink and drive, da zbog njegovog izbora da pije i vozi
Now I would have to die.  Ja sad moram umrijeti

So why do people do it, Mum   - pa zbog čega to ljudi rade, mama?
Knowing that it ruins lives?  Znajući da to uništava živote?
And now the pain is cutting me, i bol me sada reže
Like a hundred stabbing knives.  Kao stotinu noževa

Someone should have taught him,   netko ga je trebao naučiti
That it's wrong to drink and drive.  Da je pogrešno piti i voziti
Maybe if his parents had,  Možda da su to učinili njegovi roditelji
I'd still be alive.  Ja bih i dalje bila živa

My breath is getting shorter, Mum   - moj dah je sve kraći, mama
I'm getting really scared. – i jako se bojim
These are my final moments,  ovo su moji posljednji trenuci
And I'm so unprepared. – tako sam nespremna
 
 
I wish that you could hold me Mum, - voljela bih da me možeš zagriliti, mama
As I lie here and die.  – dok ležim ovdje i umirem
I wish that I could say, 'I love you, Mum!'  voljela bih da ti mogu reći: "Volim te mama"
So I love you and good-bye.   Pa volim te, i zbogom
