Beautiful Priest's Daughter

Lepa protina kci

I was still quite youngJos sam bio sasvim mlad
I used to hunt some marsh birds back then,neke barske ptice sam lovio tad,
when she came to swimkad je dosla da se kupa
beautiful priest's daughter.lepa protina kci.

She didn't know where I wasNije znala gde sam ja
watching her secretly through the reeds and grass.da je gledam krisom kroz trsku i sas.
Night fell over the riverPreko reke noc je pala
like a veil.kao plast.

And the moon watches over the willow,I mesec bdije nad vrbakom,
silvering the sky with a swarm of stars,srebri nebom zvezda roj,
and water drops like pearlsa kapi vode kao biseri
shining all around her.koji blistaju svud po njoj.

Oh crazy heart, crazy dreams,O srce ludo, ludi sni,
my friends were already getting engaged,vec se moji drugovi momcili svi,
but I only wanted onea ja sam hteo samo jednu
beautiful priest's daughter.lepu protinu kci.

With a strange song, the road echoes,Cudnom pesmom, zvoni drum,
that winter the wedding guests came for her,te su zime svatovi dosli po nju,
from afar, a worldizdaleka, neki svet
foreign to me.za mene tudj.

And I was walking down the street,I bas sam prosao sokakom,
the first snow was falling.padao je prvi sneg.
And sometimes the bells still ringI jos ponekad zazvone praporci
as they take me who knows where.sto me odnose ko zna gde.

I have a chance to get married,Da se zenim imam kad,
I have remained a bachelor until now,ja sam eto, ostao momak do sad
and I have never again meti nikad vise nisam sreo
the beautiful priest's daughter.lepu protinu kci.

A quiet, peaceful life,Jedan zivot miran, tih,
sometimes I play a card or write a verse,nekad bacim kartu il' napisem stih,
things flowstvari teku
I keep myself apart from them.ja se drzim izvan njih.

I love the good, I love the easy ones,I ljubim dobre, ljubim lake
some are real, some are not,neke prave, a neke ne,
they are all fairies, they are all queens,i sve su vile, ma sve su kraljice,
and they are all insignificant compared to her.i sve su nevazne naspram nje.
