Translation of the song Hej živote artist Mile Kitić

Zbog te nene ja izgubim

Because of that older girl I lost

Sve najbolje drugove

All my best friends

Sad je vrijeme,hej živote

Now it's the time, hey life

da mi vratiš drugove

to return me your debts*

Duguješ mi,pravu ljubav,

You owe me real love

Duguješ mi sreću,dom

You owe me (my) happiness, (my) home

Sve duguješ,hej živote

You owe me everything, hey life

ovom sreću,nesrečnom

You owe happiness to this unhappy man

Ta je žena, lažna bila

That woman was fake

odavno sam svatio

I realized a long time ago

Dok je ona sreća bila

When she was my happiness

ja sam zbog nije patio

I suffered because of her

Otišla je ne mogu joj

She left, I can't return

tužne dane vratiti

those sorrowful days to her

Zato moraš,hej živote,

That's why you have to, hey life,

sve dugove platiti

pay me all your debts
