Translation of the song Ankoran artist Tonči Huljić & Madre Badessa

Croatian (Chakavian dialect)

Ankoran

English translation

Anchored

Tek san siša sa kareta,

I have just came down from baby carriage,

već san dižgracjan...

I'm already unlucky...

Život more, a breveta

Life is sea, but no one

nikom ne triba...

needs seaman's book

Di, reci, da dobagulinan ja?

Tell me where to plow?

Ja u rinu ankoran,

I'm anchored in fine sand,

a toka mene lungo koršo...

but long sailing is coming me to order...

Cilo tilo ribumbaje,

Whole body is resonating,

jer san infišan...

because I'm infatuated..

Boje je da gren ja daje,

It's better me to go further,

da se ne fotan...

me not to get angry...

Di, reci, da dobagulinan ja?

Tell me where to plow?

Ja u rinu ankoran,

I'm anchored in fine sand,

a toka mene lungo koršo...

but long sailing is coming me to order...
