lyrics
PJEVAJ MI KATICA
„Pjevaj mi pjevaj, Katica, mila, rumena ružica.“
„Kak bi ti ja, oj, pjevala kad ti jod tuge ne morem.
Kad mi moj dragi othaja vu tu nesrečnu vojnicu.
Vu tu nesrečnu vojnicu, dalke na tursku granicu.
Kad se buš vrnul, dragi moj, z ove nesrečne vojnice?“
„Ja se bum vrnul, Katica, kad bude more presahle.“
„Kad bude more presahle i suhe dreve zacvele.“
„Toga ti ne bu, dragi moj, toga ti ne bu zanigdar.“
„Sing for me, Katica, my dear rosy flower! “ „How can I sing for you when I'm filled with sadness? My true love is leaving to fight in that terrible war, far away at the Ottoman empire border. When are you coming back, my darling? “ „I will return, Katica, when the seas dry up and dead trees bear flowers again.“ „This will never be, my love, never in a lifetime.“
