Translation of the song Šta će mi šalvare artist Vera Ivković

Šta će mi šalvare

What would I want šalvare* for?

šta će mi dajre

What would I want a timbrel for?

(2x)

(×2)

Nemam ni šalvare

I have no šalvare,

nemam ni dajre

I have no timbrel,

nemam ni crne kose

I haven't black hair

ni duge noge bose

Nor long bare feet.

Refren

(Refrain)

Šta će mi šalvare

What would I want šalvare for?

šta će mi dajre

What would I want a timbrel for?

šta će mi crne kose

What would I want black hair

i duge noge bose

And long bare feet for?

To što može srce moje

What my heart is capable of,

ma to može retko koje

Why, that a heart is rarely capable of!

(4x)

Refren 2x

Refren

To što može grlo moje

What my windpipe is capable of,

ma to može retko koje

Why, that a windpipe is rarely capable of!

To što može telo moje

ma to može retko koje

Why, that a body is rarely capable of!
