Translation of the song Zavicaj artist Zdravko Čolić

Avlija i stara zahrdjala kapija

The field and rusty gate

u mome snu zaskripi

squeakes in my dream

probudi me, podsjeti me

It awakens me, remembers me

da si, mila, kroz nju nekad prolazila

that you once passed through it

Kajsija tuzno se usred baste savija

The appricot sadly folds itself in the garden

nema za kog da raste

It hasn't got anyone to grow for

Holandija sve hladnija

Holland is getting colder

mnogo vrata, nijedna kapija

A lot of doors, not a single gate

Refren

Refren

Moja je kuca na prodaju

My house is on sale

ovdje me ljudi ne poznaju

People here don't recognize me

srce mi kaze sve daj

My heart says: give everything

nije ti to zavicaj

this is not your birthplace

Sjecanje na tebe dolazi

Memories of you reappear

tvoja me suza pronalazi

your tear finds me

reci mi „dodji“ i kraj

say to me 'come' and nothing more

vrati me u zavicaj

Bring me back to my birthplace

Desi se ponesto lijepo ovdje

Something beautiful is happening over here

ne traje ni sutra do popodne

Tomorrow doesn't even last till noon

osjetim te na ramenu

I feel you on my shoulder

kao opet me ljubis, al' samo u snu

As usual you're kissing me, but only in my dream

Carlija vjetar sa Juga

'Carlija' wind blows from the south (I don't know what Carlija means..)

pa se prenosi u mene neka tuga

and some kind of pain is transferred into me

Holandija sve hladnija

Holland is getting colder

mnogo vrata, nijedna kapija

A lot of doors, not a single gate
