Noć kad je Tisa nadošla

Spalio je juli seno
a Tisa nezapamčeno opala
i otkrila sprud kraj šlepa
k'o stvoren za njena lepa stopala
 
Stari joj je bio lađar
polu Rumun, polu Mađar, besni ker
prema meni nikad zao
nekako je znao, da mu volim kćer
 
Bodom sitnim kao prezla
moje ime je izvezla, stidljivo
plavim koncem na gaćice
i pod karner spavačice, jedva vidljivo
 
Skrila čamac mlada trska
koju možeš sa dva prsta poviti
molila se Bogu suše
da što duže ne da im otploviti
 
REF
Tu noć je Tisa nadošla
a na njoj nošnja raskošna
samo sandalice, prstenčić
i u kosi venčić od ivanjskog cveća
pa ipak, nije nesreća što me se ona ne seća
ma kakvi, nesreća je što se ja nje sećam
 
Nastavila voda rasti
nije htela naglas kazti, a znala je
drugog jutra sve po starom
al' nikad da slađe garov zalaje
 
Zaklela me da je čekam
da će me se cela veka sećati
na promaji žar malakše
ima l' išta lakše neg' obećati
 
Ref.
 
Translation

NIght when Tisa was flooded

July's heat burned the hay
And Tisa incredibly drained,
discover cay near tugboat,
Like it's made just for hers little foots..
 
Her dad was a boatman..
Half Romanian, half Hungarian..
He was never evil to me
cuz somehow, he knew that i love his daugter..
 
With tiny needlework
She wrote my name..blushfully
on her panties,
and under collar of her sleeping dress...barely visible...
 
Young reed , which you can recurve with two fingers
was hid the boat...
She was praying to the god of drought
That keeps her away from sailing.....but..........,
...That night Tisa was flooded.....
 
Ref.
She was wearing just a dress, sandals, a ring, and corolla made of lady's bedstraw in her hair...But still..it's not misfortune that she don't remember me..acctually, misfortune is that i remember her....
 
..She begged me that i wait for her...and she told me that she will remember me whole eternity...On a draft ember is languish..so, ......is there anything easier then promise something to her??...
