Mokra trava, mokra trava,
Wet grass, wet grass,
od bisernje rose,
Wet from pearly dew,
ne dolazi dragi vise,
My darling is not coming by anymore
da mi mrsi kose.
To ruffle his fingers through my hair.
Sto ga nema, sto ga nema
Why is he not here, why is he not here,
ubio ga led,
May the ice freeze him dead,
kad zna da je meni bio
When he knew that he was
i otrov i med.
My poison and honey.
Tanka bluza, tanka bluza,
Thin blouse, thin blouse,
sva mokra od suza,
Entirely drenched in tears,
ne dolazi dragi vise,
My darling is not coming by anymore
da mi usne pruza.
To press his lips against mine.
Sto ga nema, sto ga nema
Why is he not here, why is he not here,
ubio ga led,
May the ice freeze him dead,
kad zna da je meni bio
When he knew that he was
i otrov i med.
My poison and honey.
Noc je pala, noc je pala,
The night fell, the night fell,
harmonika svira,
The accordion is playing,
ne dolazi dragi vise,
My darling is not coming by anymore
da mi nedra dira.
To caress my bosom.
Sto ga nema, sto ga nema
Why is he not here, why is he not here,
ubio ga led,
May the ice freeze him dead,
kad zna da je meni bio
When he knew that he was
i otrov i med.
My poison and honey.
