Momen dragu prva mu je leva

Da san znala ne bi ga vazela.

If I knew it I wouldn't marry him.

U jopcinu kad san skida gace

When I have taken off my briefs in recruiting office,

Moja draga na pijacu place.

My dear woman was crying in a market.

Parti vapor i zamuti more

Steamer is departing, muddying the sea,

Place draga da ne more gore.

My dear is so crying that cannot be worse.

Oj, vapore, pukla ti propela

Oh, you steamer, let your propeller be broken !

Ca si draga u Polu odveja.

Why have you driven away my dear man to Pula?
