Mezarje
Sunce žarko, znaš li išta još
o mom sinu, dragom sinu mom
što je nestao davno
sa vihorom rata, davno,
kaži gdje je i ublaži bol.
Kaži samo meni, sunce, kaži
gdje da stara majka traži,
gdje da nađe dragog sina svog ?
Sretna majko, sunce prozbori
sin tvoj leži u cvijetnom mezaru
katmer ruže, majko
okitile sina, majko,
jedna lipa behar prosipa.
Majko, eno sina usred ruža,
eno tebi ruke pruža,
eno tvoga, majko, ponosa.
Majka nasmija se tad divnim ružama
katmer ruže krasite l' ga još
da li krasite ružu
rumenu i tako mladu
što je vjetar davno odnese.
Majko, krasimo je stalno, majko,
žalosno je što je mlada ruža
na početku svome uvela.
Translation
Cemeetry
Hot sun, do you know anything at all
about my son, my dear son
who has disappeared long ago
with the war of the wind, long ago,
tell me where he is and ease the pain.
Tell just me, sun, tell me
where should the old mother look,
where should she look for her dear son?
Happy mother, the sun speaks
your son lies in a flowery cemetery
red roses, mother
have decorated your son, mother
and one linden showers him with petals.
Mother, here is your son, in the middle of roses,
here he is, giving you his hands,
here he is, mother, your pride.
The mother smiles then, with beautiful roses
will you decorate him more with red roses
will you decorate the roses
which are so red and young
that the wind has blown away long ago
Mother, we decorate with roses all the time, mother
it's such a shame that the young rose
has already started to wither away
