Translation of the song Ostaj mi zbogom artist Oliver Dragojević

Croatian (Chakavian dialect)

Ostaj mi zbogom

English translation

Goodbye

Ka pusto more pusto je u duši

My soul is deserted like a sea

a brod se više zaustavit ne da

And there is no boat I could stop

i peku riči grlo mi se suši

And words hurt, my throat is getting dry

i srcu mom je tisno dok te gleda.

And my heart feels narrow while it's watching you

Ne sudi strogo, život hoće tako

Don't judge it so strictly, life wants it to be like that

na to ča voli ne moreš ga silit

You can't force him to do something he likes

ni tebi nije a ni meni lako

This isn't easy for you nor me

al' ča se more moramo se dilit.

But we have to do it, we have to split

Ostaj mi zbogom, jedini moj cvite

Goodbye, my only flower

uz Marjan lipi spavaj mi ka dite

Sleep like a baby near the beautiful Marjan

ostaj mi zbogom, sunce nek te grije

Goodby, the Sun shall warm you up

i galeb bili nek nad tobom bdije.

And white seagull shall watch you

Di god se najden dan mi neće svanut

Wherever I go, there won't be a day

po lipu da te komu ne spomenem

When I don't say something nice abot you to someone

iz tvog će oka vrila suza kanut

You will shed a hot tear from your eye

kad jednog dana u tvoj porat krenem.

When I set off to your port one day
