Translation of the song Sele Moja artist Dragana Mirković

Nije vreme da se kaješ

It is not the time for you to regret,

što se sele ne udaješ

my sister, that you have not yet gotten married,

što sekiraš našu majku

and that you are worrying our mother.

Ne dozvoli lažne nade

Don't give way to false hopes*

život zna da ukrade

life has been known to steal (from people)

sele moja jedina

my only sister.

Ostavi ga kad te neće

Leave him when he does not want you,

sa njim vidiš nemaš sreće

you can see that with him you have no happiness,

on ti nije sudbina

he is not your destiny.

Ref. 2x

Ref. 2x

Pusti sele neka me

Leave me be, sister,

gde ću protiv sudbine

where can I go to escape destiny?

od života prihvatiću

I will accept from this life

šta mi sleduje

whatever it is that I deserve.

Život kao reka teče

Life is running like a river,

mladost brzo proleteće

your youth will fly by quickly,

bez poroda bićeš svoga

you will end up without your own family.

Vreme nikog ne izleči

Time does not heal anybody,

setićeš se mojih reči

you will remember my words

zažalićeš sve do Boga

and you will rue everything but God.
