Translation
Maiden of Grabovac
Once upon a time in those days of yore,
there was Grabovac's beatiful daughter,
where out of the rock water flows
on soil of Herceg,
where out of rock flowers grow
in memory of her.
Fiend's whipping, killing young body,
extinguishing her eye's virgin glow,
a prayer upon her lips,
was all left to her at the end.
Body dies, but soul fled
into the Virgin's embrace.
Ref.
Maiden, Grabovac Maiden
forever shining in the sky.
Water of Herceg keeps on flowing,
there where she met her end.
Look into our women's eyes,
and when you catch that beautiful glow,
that is Maiden of Grabovac,
because she lives, you must know.
Water of Herceg keeps on flowing,
there where she met her end.
Ref.
In these brutal times, of people evil,
rife with restlessness,
I feel better when I sing to you about her,
about that woman, chaste, courageous,
Maiden of Grabovac.
Ref. (x2)
