The Drenovci Woman's Reply
Ej, Ivane, iz Valpova,slobodna sam mlada žena,ali ljubav koju tražiš,izgubih za sva vremena.
Hey there, Ivan, from Valpovo,I'm a woman, young and free,but the love that you are seekingis for ever lost to me.
Ljubljah jednom u životu,al' nestade divne sreće.Sa usana mojih, nektar,vjeruj, nitko piti neće.
Once I loved, once in my lifetime,but that lovely joy is done;from my lips, believe me, nectarwill be tasted now by none.
Nema više divnih snova,ostala mi pusta želja.Sada želim od života,samo jednu kap veselja.
No more lovely dreams are left,empty wishing lingers here;now all that I want from lifeis a single drop of cheer.
Reći ću ti što bih htjela:da polako život teče,u životu mome bolnom,puno zdravlja, malo sreće.
I will tell you what I'd want:that my life flow on at leisure,and, in all my life of pain,lots of health, of joy a measure.
Volim pjesme i druženja,zlatnu zoru kad zarudi.Od ljubavi koju tražiš,prijatelj mi, Ivo budi!
I love songs and get-togethers,golden dawn when it glows red;rather than the love you're seeking,be my friend, Ivo, instead!
