Translation of the song Žute Dunje artist Indexi

Voljelo se dvoje mladih

Two young were in love

šest mjeseci, godinu

For six months and a year.

kad su htjeli da se uzmu, da se uzmu aman, aman

When they wanted to get marry, to get marry, alas, alas,

dušmani im ne dadoše

Fiends wouldn't let them.

Razbolje se lijepa Fatma

Beautiful Fatma falls ill,

jedinica u majke

Mother's only child,

poželjela žute dunje, žute dunje aman, aman

She longed for yellow quinces, yellow quinces alas, alas,

žute dunje iz Stambola

Yellow quinces from Istanbul.

Pođe dragi da donese

Beloved set himself off to bring

žute dunje Carigradske

Byzantium's yellow quinces.

al' ga nema tri godine, tri godine aman, aman

But he doesn't return for three years, three years, alas, alas.

nit' se javlja, niti dolazi

Not a word, nor he appears.

Dođe dragi sa dunjama

Beloved returned with quinces,

nađe Fatmu na nosilima

Finds Fatma on a bier;

dvjesta dajem spustite je, trista dajem otkrijte je

Two hundred I'll give; put her down,

da još jednom Fatmu ljubim ja

Three hundred I'll give; uncover her,
