Snivam, da se nas dvojezagrljeni, nježno ljubimo.Snivam, da se nas dvojesretni u snovima budimo.

I dream that the two of us,in each other's arms, softly kiss;I dream that the two of uswake in our dreams, in happy bliss.

A kada se raspline noći zlatna zora zarudi,tvog srca tihi kucaj,mene iz snova budi.

And when darkness melts awayand the golden dawn shines bright,the soft beating of your heartwakes me from my dreams of night.

Tada uz zračak sunca,vrele mi usne nudiš.U strasnom naručju tvome,cijelim me bićem ljubiš.

Then, with a little ray of sun,you offer me your lips of fire;and in your passionate embraceyou kiss with all your heart's desire.
