New Year's Wishes

Novo ljeto kad ura najavi,da sam s tobom i da se veselim,kad se radost na tom svijetu slavi,da ti prvi čestitke poželim.

When the clock rings in the year that's new,may I be at your side, rejoicing here;when joy is celebrated the whole world through,may I be first to wish you a happy year.

Eh da mogu svu noć s tobom biti,u toj noći sveopćeg veselja,usne tvoje do zore ljubiti,to je, draga, moja vruća želja.

Oh, if only I could be with you all night,on that night of merriment and cheer,to kiss your lips until the morning light:that is my burning wish, my darling dear.
