Translation of the song Otiš'o je s mirisima jutra artist Kićo Slabinac
Otiš'o je s mirisima jutra
He went away with the morning scents
Još i danas sve me na njeg sjeti
Still today everything reminds me of him
Stari šešir visi pokraj vrata
Old hat hanging by the door
I što mati znala mi je reći
And what my mother used to tell me:
Bog je dao srce mu od zlata.
God gave him a heart of gold
Još i danas čujem one riječi
Still today I hear those words:
Samo dobre Bog na kraju čeka
Only for the good ones God waits at the end.
Zato sine od svih mojih riječi
So, my son, of all my words
Nek' u srcu ostanu bar neka.
Let at least some stay in your heart.
Otiš'o je otac moj polako
My father went away slowly
Otiš'o je stazom što vijuga
He went on the winding path
Pratile ga neke stare pjesme
Some old songs followed him
Sve do Rijeke kojom teče tuga
All the way to the river through which the sorrow flows.
Otiš'o je pjetli kad se bude
He went away at the time the roosters wake
Kao da u šetnju nekud kreće
Like he was going for a walk to somewhere
Otiš'o je s mirisima jutra
He went away with the morning scents
Da l' je znao da se vratit' neće.
Did he know he wasn't coming back?
Otiš'o je s mirisima jutra
He went away with the morning scents
Da l' je znao da se vratit' neće.
Did he know he wasn't coming back?
Rasulo se jutro kroz ravnicu
The morning spilled over the plain
Sve je tu a njega nema više
Everything is here, and he is gone
Tuga ušla tamburi kroz žicu
Sadness sneaked into the tambura* through the strings
I k'o da su pjesme sada tiše.
And the songs seem more quiet now
Otiš'o je otac moj polako
My father went away slowly
Otiš'o je stazom što vijuga
He went on the winding path
Pratile ga neke stare pjesme
Some old songs followed him
Sve do Rijeke kojom teče tuga
All the way to the river through which the sorrow flows.
Otiš'o je pjetli kad se bude
He went away at the time the roosters wake
Kao da u šetnju nekud kreće
Like he was going for a walk to somewhere
Otiš'o je s mirisima jutra
He went away with the morning scents
Da l' je znao da se vratit' neće.
Did he know he wasn't coming back?
Otiš'o je s mirisima jutra
He went away with the morning scents
Da l' je znao da se vratit' neće.
Did he know he wasn't coming back?
