Translation of the song Svoju zvizdu slidin artist Oliver Dragojević

Croatian (Chakavian dialect)

Svoju zvizdu slidin

English translation

I Follow My Star

Prohodu brodi priko mora

Ships go across the sea

Oblake vitar nebom ziba

Wind cradles clouds on the sky

Od jubavi je čežnja jača

Longing is stronger than love

Daljina uvik srcu triba

Heart always needs the distances

Nevere stižu, dažji traju

Storms are coming, rains keep on

Mladost i starost zamku sprema

Old age is preparing a trap for youth

Pa cilo vrime ispočetka

And all the time from the beginning

U svakoj glavi skitač drijema

There is a wanderer drowsing in every head

[Refren]

[Refrain]

I zato svoju zvizdu slidim

And so I follow my star

Za njon san uteka

I ran away after it

Samo nju sad vidim

It is all I see now

Lipo san ti reka

I told you nicely

Svoju zvizdu pratim

I follow my star

Za njon san uteka

I ran away after it

Možda se i vratim

I might come back

Lipo san ti reka

I told nicely

Ne slutiš ništa, rasteš, traješ

You have no idea, you grow, exist

A onda dođe ono vrime

And then the time comes

Krenuti valja, srce goni

It's time to go, heart makes you to

I ruka sama driši cime

And hand instantly unties the dock lines

Kušati triba druga voća

Other fruits should be tastes

Otkriti one zemlje nove

New lands discovered

Počinje tvoja duga skitnja

Your long wandering begins

I tako trošiš lipe snove

And so you spend beautiful dreams

[Refren]

[Refrain]

I zato svoju zvizdu slidim

And so I follow my star

Za njon san uteka

I ran away after it

Samo nju sad vidim

It is all I see now

Lipo san ti reka

I told you nicely

Svoju zvizdu pratim

I follow my star

Za njon san uteka

I ran away after it

Možda se i vratim

I might come back

Lipo san ti reka

I told nicely
