Translation of the song Čoban tjera ovčice artist Nervozni poštar

Čoban tjera ovčice

A shepherd was herding sheep,

lakoj lane, diri, diri, dane

Easy does it, dee-ree dee-ree all day long*

čoban tjera ovčice lagano

A shepherd was herding sheep leisurely

preko jedne riječice

Across a little river.

lakoj lane, diri, diri, dane

Easy does it, dee-ree dee-ree all day long,

preko jedne riječice lagano

Across a little river leisurely.

Sve mu ovce pređoše

All his sheep went across,

lakoj lane, diri, diri, dane

Easy does it, dee-ree dee-ree, all day long,

sve mu ovce pređoše lagano

All his sheep went across easily,

samo jedna ne može

Only one wasn't able to.

lakoj lane, diri, diri, dane

Easy does it, dee-ree dee-ree, all day long,

samo jedna ne može nikako

Only one wasn't able, no matter how she tried.

Čoban uze grančicu

The shepherd picked up a branchlet,

lakoj lane, diri, diri, dane

Easy does it, dee-ree dee-ree, all day long,

čoban uze grančicu lagano

The shepherd picked up a branchlet slowly,

pa pretjera ovčicu

And thus compelled the little sheep,

lakoj lane, diri, diri, dane

Easy does it, dee-ree dee-ree, all day long,

pa pretjera ovčicu lagano

And thus compelled the little sheep easily.**
