The quiet one. Still water breaks a mountain — the English sister of “Stilla vatten”: the drop, the mountain, and the morning after.
The lyric
[verse]
Tiha voda, planine dere
[verse]
I am the voice in your hand, I am the habit that won
I am the drop in the mountain, I am the water in your hand
[verse]
I came when you were young and I stayed for all those years
I was cheap at the start and I am dearest at the end, you know that
[chorus]
But still water breaks a mountain, and still water carries
Same hand, same river, the same morning waiting
Still water breaks a mountain, drop by drop, year by year
[verse]
I was the mountain, I was the big one, you were the water in my hand
[verse]
Now the morning is on its way, over the mountains, over the house
The window stands open, no smoke, only air
The smell of rain on grey stone, that smell is mine
[chorus]
But still water breaks a mountain, and still water carries
Same hand, same river, the same morning waiting
Still water breaks a mountain, drop by drop, year by year
[verse]
Still water, still water, I am still standing
