Translation of the song Nina Končareva artist Rade Šerbedžija

Nedjeljno jutro u malom selu ispod Stare planine

Sunday morning underneath Stara planina*

sunce obasjalo svadbeno kolo i bijele svatove

The sun shines on wedding kolo* and the guests

u kolu djevojke tanke, visoke, ruku punih darova

Thin, tall girls, with hands full of gifts, are dancing

i najljepsa od svih u haljini bijeloj Nina Koncareva

The prettiest of them all, in a white dress, Nina Končareva

lijepe djevojke svadbene grlice same kolo vodile

Beautiful girls, wedding doves, are dancing on their own

jer momaka nema u ovome selu ispod stare planine

Because there are no men in this village underneath Stara planina

Puscana jeka propara nebom, svatovi zastali

A gunshot echoed through the sky, froze the wedding party

dva siva sokola ranjeno kliknula, u nebo poletjela

Two grey falcons woundedly cried out and started flying

zadrhtala suma, utihnule ptice i stara planina

The forest shook, the birds and Stara planina went silence

na crnim konjima dva jahaca iz sume doletjela

Two riders on black horses flew out of the forest

i sunce vec zaslo je vecer se spustila u selu nigdje nikoga

The sun has set, the evening came, there was no one in the village

a u bijeloj haljini svog dragog cekala Nina Koncareva

And Nina Končareva, in her white dress, was waiting for her darling

Vranci se propeli bijesom noseni, a jahaci umorni

Black horses were carried by rage, the riders were tired

bijelu kosulju, crvenu, krvavu, spustili preda nju

White shirt, red, bloody, was lowered in front of her

uzela bijelu kosulju krvavu, na grudi je prislonila

She took the white shirt, bloody, she brought it closer to her chest

i dugo tako svog dragog grlila Nina Koncareva

And for a very long time, Nina Končareva hugged her darling

noc je minula i zora obasjala selo ispod planine

The night has passed, the dawn was shining over the village beneath the mountain

i bijelu haljinu nijeme i kamene Nine Koncareve

And white dress of mute and stiff Nina Končareva

i bijelu haljinu nijeme i kamene Nine Koncareve

And white dress of mute and stiff Nina Končareva
