Nije u šoldima sve
Tamo gdje val ljubi moj kamen,
tamo gdje rođen sam ja...
tamo ću doć' i baciti sidro
nemirnog života mog...
Reka' sam ja, nema tu sriće,
sine moj, vrati se ti...
Nije u šoldima sve, neka te tu kraj mene,
sva u zlatu nek' sja mati Dalmacija...
Nije u šoldima sve, neka te tu kraj mene,
sva u zlatu nek' sja mati Dalmacija...
Nosi me olujno more, grize me sol
i svako svitanje zore nova je bol...
gorko je vino zbog tebe što pijem ga ja...
It's not all about money
Where the wave kisses my stone,
where I was born...
there I have to come and drop the anchor
of my restless life...
I said it, there's no luck here,
my son, come back to me...
It's not all about money, let it be here next to me,
let all of Dalmatia shine in gold...
It's not all about money, let it be here next to me,
let all of Dalmatia shine in gold...
The stormy sea carries me, the salt bites me
and every dawn of a new day is a new pain...
the wine I drink is bitter because of you...
