Translation of the song Mašala, mašala artist Marinko Rokvić

Mislio sam ima vremena

I thought there is time

i da čekaćeš me dovijeka

and that you'll wait for me forever

od oka daleko, srcu je još dalje

far from eye, from heart is even further

sada znam da takva ljubav ne traje

now I know that this kind of love don't last

Onaj što ti biješe utjeha

The one has been your solace

postao je tvoja sudbina

he became your destiny

dok me nije bilo, sve se promjenilo

while I wasn't there, everything changed

kašika mu u med upala

his spoon fell into honey

Mašala, mašala, sina si rodila

Mashalla, Mashalla, you gave birth to a son

onom kog nisi voljela

with the one you didn't love

kad nekom smrkne, drugome sine

when it darkens for someone, it brightens up for someone else

on se sad dici njime

now he boasts with it

Mašala, mašala, njemu si pružila

Mashalla, Mashalla, you handed him

ono što meni si nekad nudila

what you once offered me

neka te naša ljubav sad mine

shall our love leave you now

al’ daj mu makar moje ime

but at least give him my name

Dok vas gledam kako slavite

While I look at you celebrating

mojoj duši ranu pravite

you give my heart wounds

al’ nemam ja prava da kvarim tu sreću

but i have no rights to ruin this happiness

ovdje se zbog tebe ja vratiti neću

I'm not coming back here for you

Ulica tvoja nek zaboravi

Your street should forget

na mene kog si zvala ‘jedini’

me the one you called only one

vratiću se tamo gdje sam do sad bio

I'll go back there where I have been until now

jer znam da sam tebe zauvijek izgubio

because I know that I lost you forever
