Translation of the song A vitar puše artist Oliver Dragojević

Croatian (Chakavian dialect)

A vitar puše

English translation

And the Wind Blows

Su zrnon soli, su mrvu kruva i puno duše

With a grain of salt, a bread crumb and a lot of soul

Ova nas jubav tepli i čuva, a vitar puše

This love warms us and guards us, and the wind blows

Su pjatom juve kad projdu dani i stvari ruše

With a bowl of soup when days are over and things crumble

Ova nas jubav jača i rani, a vitar puše

This love makes us stronger and feeds us, and the wind blows

I neka projdu sve obilance

And even if all the days of plenty end

Svi lipi gušti i sve užance

All the fine joys and all the customs, too

I neka nima ni sna ni smija

And even if there was no dream or laughing

Uz tebe uvik znan ča bi tija

By your side I would always know what I would want

A vitar puše, a vitar puše

And the wind blows, and the wind blows

A vitar puše, nek' samo puše

And the wind blows, let it just blow

Su kapju uja, su šaku zeja kad sni se ruše

With a drop of oil, with a handfull of greens when dreams crumble

Ova nas jubav diže sa tleja, a vitar puše

This love lifts us from the ground, and the wind blows

Kad gori svića, a nima loja kad udru suše

When the candle is burning, and there is no tallow when droughts hit

Ova je jubav šira od poja, a vitar puše

This love is wider than a field, and the wind blows

I neka projdu sve obilance

And even if all the days of plenty end

Svi lipi gušti i sve užance

All the fine joys and all the customs, too

I neka nima ni sna ni smija

And even if there was no dream or laughing

Uz tebe uvik znan ča bi tija

By your side I would always know what I would want

A vitar puše, a vitar puše

And the wind blows, and the wind blows

A vitar puše, nek' samo puše

And the wind blows, let it just blow
