Prija
My Prija
Noć je tiha. Mjesec sija.U goste mi došla prija.Ej radosti, što da radim?Moram brzi da izvadimRakijicu, šljivovicuda počastim priju Micu.
Night is still. The moon shines bright.My prija's come to call tonight.Oh, what joy! What shall I do?Quick, I've got to fetch the brew:a drop of rakija, of plum,to treat Prija Mica, who's come.
Nakon druge, treće čaše,jezici se razvezaše.Sve smo lijepo ispričali,o rodbini što smo znalii novosti koje ima,što se priča u gostima.
By the second glass, the third,tongues were loosened, word by word.All of it we talked right through:all about our kin we knew,and whatever news was out,what the guests all talk about.
Bilo je to baš veselo,pretresli smo cijelo selo.
It was merry, such a treat:we combed the village, street by street.
Negdje oko dva, tri sata,gledam mjesec zvijezdu hvata.Sve razmišlja tako i ja,možda želi to i prija.
Round two or three o'clock, I spythe moon go catch a star up high.So the thought comes, as thoughts do:maybe prija wants it too.
Voli prija, volim i ja,ova noć je fantazija.
Prija loves it, and I do too:this night's a fantasy come true.
Otišla kući draga prijaZaš'o mjesec zasp'o i ja.
My dear prija went home, and soonI dropped off, just like the moon.
Ej mjeseče, zvijezdo sjajna,nek to bude naša tajna!
Hey there, moon, and star so bright,keep our secret of this night!
