Translation of the song Modra rijeka artist Indexi

Nitko ne zna gdje je ona

No one knows where it is

malo znamo, al' je znano

We don't know much, but it's common knowledge

iza gore, iza dola

Behind a hill, behind the valley

iza sedam, iza osam

Behind seven, behind eight1

I još dalje i još gore

And further and further even more

preko mornih, gorkih preko

Across tired ones, across bitter ones

preko gloga, preko drače

Across hawthorne, across thorny bushes

preko žege, preko stege

Across great heat, across tight discipline

Preko slutnje, preko sumnje

Through a hunch, through a doubt

iza devet, iza deset

Behind nine, behind ten

i još dublje i još jače

And deeper more, and more harder

iza šutnje, iza tmače

Beyond silence, beyond great darkness

Gdje pijetlovi ne pevaju

Where roosters do not sing

gdje se ne zna za glas roga

Where the sound of a horn is unheard of

i još huđe i još luđe

And more ominous and crazier even

iza uma, iza Boga

Beyond the mind, beyond God

[Refren]

[Chorus]

Ima jedna modra rijeka

There is a blue river

široka je, duboka je

It is wide, it is deep

sto godina široka je

It is a hundred years wide

tisuć' ljeta duboka je

A thousand years deep

O duljini i ne sanjaj

Of length dare not even to dream

tma i tmuša neprebolna

Dark and darkest darkness impossible to overcome

ima jedna modra rijeka

There is a blue river

ima jedna modra rijeka

There is a blue river

[Refren]

[Chorus]

Valja nama preko rijeke

We are to go across the river
