Bogu dusu bog je nece
if God only wanted to take soul / if God would take my soul
nisam uspjela naci niti jedan idiom, u ovom mom idiomatskom rjeèniku, koji bi bar bio približan. vjerujem da æe na ovo pitanje najbolje odgovoriti neko ko je native speaker... nemam pojma... ovo je najbliže što sam uspjela

Bogu dusu bog je nece
I put my soul at God's wiill, alas
Nisam bas siguran koliko se ovo uklapa u kontekst, ali moglo bi da prodje, imaj taj neki depresivni, melanholicni prizvuk koji mi se cini da postoji i u originalu....Hope I've been helpful
