Translation of the song Baklje Ivanjske artist Doris Dragović

Croatian

Baklje Ivanjske

English translation

Midsummer Day Torches

(Doris)

Ugaslo je nebo, svjetlo oka mog..

The sky extinguished, the light of my eye...

Sva sam za te gorjela kao baklja Ivanjska.

I wholly burned for you as a Midsummer Day torch.

Ispružene ruke -prazne ostale...

Hands reaching out - they stayed empty...

Ispružene ruke, samo na te čekale, strepile...

Hands reaching out, waited only for you, dreaded...

(Mladen)

Mislio sam da ću biti hrabar ja

I thought I'll be brave

K'o oluja ponosna, k'o oluja pobjedonosna!

Like a proud storm, like a winning storm!

I zadrhtao sam sto put'

And I trembled a hundred times,

sto put' zbog tebe,

A hundred times because of you,

Al' izdržao sam sve

But I went through it all,

divlje more i ponore, zbog tebe...

Wild seas and abysses, because of you...

(Pripjev)

(Chorus)

I ne pomisli na mene

Don't even think of me

Kad te stignu uspomene...

When the memories catch up with you...

I ne trudi se da znaš

Don't even try to know

Gdje i s kim sam sad.

Where and whom with I am now.

Ne raspituj se za mene,

Don't ask around about me,

Sad je neko drugo vrijeme,

It's a different time now,

Davno sam za ljubav ja izgorjela/izgorio ja

It was long time ago when I burned down for love

Kao baklja Ivanjska!

Like a Midsummer Day torch!
