Translation of the song Dalmatinske drage luke artist Oliver Dragojević
Dalmatinske drage luke
Dear Dalmatian Harbours
Šta je pusta Londra dok po Zadru snivam,
What is all that London while I dream in Zadar1?
Ne fali mi Rio, Šibenik dok piva.
I don't miss Rio while Šibenik 1 sings
Kad se Stradun budi, neću na Havaje,
When Stradun2 wakes, I won't go to Hawaii,
Hoću samo složno: Marjane! Marjane!
I only want to hear all together: Marjan! Marjan! 3
[Pripjev]
[Chorus]
Dalmatinske drage luke
I dream on the open sea about all the
Na pučini sanjam sve
Dear dalmatian harbours
Daleke i sjajne zvizde,
Far away and glowing stars
Moga srca lanterne.
Lanterns of my heart.
Dalmatinske drage luke
Dear dalmatian harbours
Mornarskoj su duši sve,
Mean everything to a sailor's soul
Još me zovu pismom majke,
They still call me with my mother's song
Još mi bude stare sne.
Still revive old dreams
E, da mi je s tobom put Trogira poći,
Oh, if I could go towards Trogir1 with you
Zagrliti buru u makarskoj noći.
To hug bora wind in Makarska1 at night
A kad u Omišu klapska pisma padne
And when klapa singing4 starts in Omiš1
Nek se čuje složno: Marjane! Marjane!
Let singing together be heard: Marjan! Marjan!
[Pripjev]
[Chorus]
Dalmatinske drage luke
I dream on the open sea about all the
na pučini sanjam sve
Dear dalmatian harbours
Daleke i sjajne zvizde,
Far away and glowing stars
Moga srca lanterne.
Lanterns of my heart.
Dalmatinske drage luke
Dear dalmatian harbours
Mornarskoj su duši sve,
Mean everything to a sailor's soul
Još me zovu pismom majke,
They still call me with my mother's song
Još mi bude stare sne..
Still revive old dreams
Pusti mi Mallorcu dok pivam o Hvaru,
Don't talk to me about Mallorca as I sing of Hvar5
Velu Luku sanjam na moru i kraju.
I dream about Vela Luka6 at sea as well as dryland.
E, da mi je s tobom poć do svake vale,
Oh, if I could go with you to every cove,
Zapivati složno: Marjane! Marjane!
To sing together: Marjan! Marjan!
