Translation of the song Paučina artist Josipa Lisac

Croatian (Chakavian dialect)

Paučina

English translation

Cobweb

Ti si jena misal

You are a single

tanka, duga, fina...

slight, long, fine thought

Va kantuneh kući moje

In the corners of my house

Ti si paučina

You are a cobweb

Pauk ja san, pauk strpjen

I am a spider, a patient spider

ki prede se va zlate

who spins everything in gold

Jenu misal

A single

tanku dugu, jenu misal na te,

slight long thought, a single thought of you

na te, jenu misal na te...

of you, a single thought of you...

Svilni konci

Silky threads

va prazneh kantuneh

in empty corners

va prazneh kantuneh

in empty corners

Paučinu ja san oplela

I have spun the cobweb

Paučina mane j' prezela...

The cobweb took me over...
