Sedam je sati, jutro k'o svako drugo
It's seven am, morning just like any other
Oprat ću pod i pomest ću cijeli kat
I'll mop the floor and sweep the entire floor
Zatim ću krpom brisat' i trljat' dugo
Then I'll wipe with a cloth and scrub for a long time
Opet mest', neću sjest'
Sweep again, I won't sit down
Kako spor taj je sat
This clock is so slow
Pročitat' knjigu dvije, il' možda četiri-pet
I'll read a book or two, or maybe four-five
Ukrasit' malo strop, narisat' koji cvijet
Decorate the ceiling a bit, draw a few flowers,
Gitaru svirat', plest', pripremit' kolač svoj
Play a guitar, dance, make my cake
Al' kada počinje život moj?
But when will my life begin?
Pojedem ručak, igram se, kekse pečem
I eat breakfast, play, bake cookies
Lutkarski svijet, a zatim balet i šah
Doll world, then ballet and chess
Onda grnčarstvo, trbuhozborstvo, svijeće
Then pottery, ventriloquism, candles
Koja vježba, pa crtež, pa uspon i tad
A few exercises, then a drawing, a climb and then
Pročitam knjigu dvije, o kako dug je dan
I read a book or two, oh how the day is long
Pa onda slikam još, tu nema mjesta znam
Then I paint some more, there's no space here I know
A onda četkam, četkam svaki zlatni pram
And then I brush, brush each golden coat
I brojim sate u kuli toj
And count the hours in that tower
I tad se pitam, i pitam, i pitam:
And then I ask myself, and ask, and ask:
A kada počinje život moj?
But when will my life begin?
A sutra znam na rođendan moj
But tomorrow I know on my birthday
Kad padne noć svjetla sjat će u njoj
When the night falls the lights will shine inside her
Možda ću sad ostvarit' svoj san
Maybe then I'll make my dream come true
Možda me majka sada najzad pusti van
Maybe mother will finally let me out now
