Translation of the song Oci boje Jadrana artist Oliver Dragojević
Oci boje Jadrana
Eyes the color of the Adriatic
Dili se brod od obale
As the boat parts from the shore
A ja se dilim, dušo, od tebe
And I part from you, my soul
Ostaj mi zbogom grlice
Be well my turtledove
Mi ćemo opet ljubit, ljubit se
We will again kiss, kiss eachother
Ostavljam tvoja oka dva
I'm leaving behind your two eyes
Dva oka boje Jadrana
two eyes the color of the Adriatic
Ostavljam tvoja oka dva
I'm leaving behind those two eyes
Dva mala plava bisera
Two tiny blue pearls
Što plakala su, plakala
That cried and cried
Dok zadnji put su mene ljubila
the last time you kissed me.
Dili se brod od obale
As the boat parts from the shore
A ti se diliš, zlato, od mene
and you are parting from me my dear (lit. gold)
Ostaj mi zbogom grlice
be well my turtledove
Mi ćemo opet ljubit, ljubit se
we will again kiss, kiss eachother
Ostavljam tvoja oka dva
I'm leaving behind your two eyes
Dva oka boje Jadrana
two eyes the color of the Adriatic
Ostavljam tvoja oka dva
I'm leaving behind those two eyes
Dva mala plava bisera
Two tiny blue pearls
Što plakala, su plakala
That cried and cried
Dok zadnji put su mene ljubila
the last time you kissed me
