O Jelo, Jelo, Jeleno,
Oh Lena, Lena, Helena,
O Jelo, Jelo, Jeleno.
Oh Lena, Lena, Helena,
O Jelo, Jelo, Jeleno,
Oh Lena, Lena, Helena,
Ne gazi sjeno zeleno.
Don't trample the green hay.
Mladi ga momci kosili,
The young lads have mown it,
I tebe, jelo, prosili.
And you, Lena, they have begged.
Zbog tebe Jelo, Jeleno,
Because of you, Lena, Helena,
Svi piju vino rumeno.
All drink red wine.
Mala mi soba miriše
My little room's fragrance,
U kojoj jelo uzdiše.
Lena, is of your sighs.
A moj Jelo Jelice, dušo moje i srce,
And my Lena, little Lena, my soul and heart,
Dušo moje i srce, Jelo Jelena.
My soul and heart, Lena Helena.
A moj Jelo Jelena cijelo selo zna,
And my Lena, Helena the whole village knows,
Moja mama i tvoja, da te ljubim ja.
My mother and yours (know), that I kiss you.
A moj Jelo Jelena cijelo selo zna,
