Kakvo je to sad nastalo vrijeme?Svatko može na svakog da viče.Što ja radim, što se koga tiče.Neka svatko nosi svoje breme.
What's this time that's come to us today?Anyone can shout at anyone.What I do: whose business? Surely none.Let each bear his burden on his way.
Ja ne pitam nikoga kud ide.Tko je kada s kim u krčmi pio,ni sa čijom ženom snove snioiako ga moje oči vide.
I don't ask a soul where he is bound,who drank in the tavern with whom, and when,nor whose wife he dreams with, now and then,though my eyes can see him all around.
Ja vas molim i ljudi i žene,počistite ispred svoga praga,ne tražite sad okolo vraga,Ostavite vi na miru mene.
Men and women, this I do implore:sweep before your own door, keep it clear,don't go looking round for devils near,leave me be in peace, I ask no more.
