Treba mi osmeh tvoj
I need your smile,
treba mi ruka tvoja
I need (to hold) your hand,
budi decko moj
Be my boyfriend,
ja devojka tvoja
and I'll be you your girlfriend.
Da me pratis na igranke
So that you can chaperone me to dances
da dolazis na sastanke
to come with me to meetings.
da te pratim u armiju
So that I can follow you on your way into the army,
kad jesenje kise liju
as the autumn rains fall.
Da mi pises, da ti pisem
For you to write to me, for me to write to you,
pisma nezna, duga
tender, long letters.
da se hvalis drugovima
So that you can tell all your friends
da devojku mori tuga
how your girlfriend exhausts your sorrow.*
(budi decko moj)
(Be my boyfriend.)
Ja necu nekog drugog
I don't want anybody else,
to nece dusa moja
my soul does not want that.
budi decko moj
Be my boyfriend,
ja devojka tvoja
and I'll be your girlfriend.
Da mi budes san i java
So that you can be my dream and reality,
kad me sunce obasjava
when the sun shines down on me.
da me gleda oko tvoje
So that your eyes can watch me,
da ja nesto imam svoje
and I can have something of my own.
