Translation of the song Zaspalo je siroče artist Croatian Folk

Zaspalo je siroče isprid tuđih dvora,

An orphan has fallen asleep in front of the foreign doors

ručicama doziva priko sinjeg mora.

And it's calling with his hands across the deep blue sea

Dođi, dođi, oče moj, mrkla noć se sprema,

Come, come, my father, dark night is coming

naše mile majčice još nam doma nema.

And our dear mother still isn't home

Sinoć su je odveli niki crni ljudi,

Last night, some dark people took her away

tiho su joj pivali da se ne probudi.

They sang to her quietly not to wake her up

Zaspalo je siroče ispod jorgovana,

An orphan has fallen asleep under the lilac

njega će probuditi zora sudnjeg dana.

The dawn of the Judgment Day will wake him up
