Translation of the song Kafanska pevačica artist Željko Samardžić

Vratiću se u onu kafanu

I'll return to that bar

pa neka mi zadnje pare tamo ostanu

Let my last penny stay there

tu sam naš'o ludom srcu žicu

There I found my crazy heart a string/cord

tu Bog stvori kafansku pevačicu

There, God created a bar songstress

Da mi peva, da mi meša noćima u krug

Let her sing to me, let her dance at night for me in circles

da je muško, bila bi mi k'o najbolji drug

If she were male she'd be like a best friend

urezaću njeno ime, daću zlatan sat

I'll carve her name, give her a golden watch

da je muško, bila bi mi k'o rođeni brat

If she were male she'd be like my own brother

Vratiću se tamo gde mi milo

I'll return there where it's delightful

pa makar me njeno oko ubilo

Even if her eye kills me

pa da smirim ovu noćnu pticu

So that I can calm this night bird

što pogleda kafansku pevačicu

That watches the bar songstress

Divna, divna usta ona ima

Beautiful, beautiful lips she has

eh, kad bi me poljubila sa njima

Hey, if she'd only kiss me with them

pa da slavim život k'o vrbicu

So that I can celebrate each day like Vrbica*

i oženim kafansku pevačicu

And marry the bar songstress
