Hi,
I'm trying to translate a song by Drugi Nacin and these two lines are driving me crazy (especially the second one):

Jer on bi vrijeme usporio samo
Kazaljkama zlatnim maglio im oci

Anyone can help? Hvala,
Jose

"Because he (the clock) would just slow down the time
blurring their vision with it's golden pointers."

v. magliti something - literally means 'to be putting the fog in front of something',
usually refers to making things less clear, less visible. (in terms of the weather, this
verb means that it's becoming foggy, 'Magli se napolju.')

(just in case it's not totally clear: if they would have a clock, they would know how far
away they are from the destination, so the journey would seem slower. :) )
