Kraj jezera jedna kuća mala,
By the lake, there's a small house,
Tu je ona dragog čekala.
That where she waited for her beloved,
I: Obećo je da će doći
He promised to come
I da će joj prsten donijeti. :I 2x
And bring her the ring. 2x
Zora svanu, suza više nema,
Dawn came up, there are no more tears,
A ni dragog kog je čekala.
Nor the darling for whom she waited,
I: Kraj jezera, uplakana,
By the lake full of tears
Maramica samo ostala :I 2x
Only a handkerchief remained. 2x
Ako nekad ljubiš momče mlado,
If you were sometimes to love a young lad,
Znaj da će te brzo ostavit
Know he will leave you soon,
I: jer on ne zna što je ljubav
Because he knows not what love is
I ne može dugo vjeran bit :I2x
And cannot remain faithful for long. 2x
