Here I am happy and I hear the songs of young women
Ležim u sjeni hrasta pijem hladnu vodu iz česme
I lie in the shade of an oak tree, drinking cold water from the fountain
Pod pendjerom distasi sviraju tanburaši
Under the window, the distas musicians are playing tamburas
Di se uprezu cilasi i znaju me svi stalasi
Where glasses are clinked and all the regulars know me
Di gori ona lampa i onaj djeram škripi
Where that lamp burns and that old gate creaks
Tu će mi duša skončat
That's where my soul will find its peace
Tu su mi dani lipi i drag mi je kirvaj
My days are beautiful here and I cherish the Kirvaj festival
Cijelo prelo i rakije vrelo
The whole gathering and the hot brandy
Di živim ko becar pa me znade svako selo
Where I live like a bachelor and every village knows me
Tu sunce polje kupa
Here the sun bathes the field
Tu mi je jedini dom
Here is my only home
Tu kosti mojih predaka sanjaju slatkim snom
Here the bones of my ancestors dream a sweet dream
Ne mogu to opisat ne bih drugdje znao disat
I can't describe it, I wouldn't know how to breathe anywhere else
Od tuge bi umro
I would die of sadness
Da ne mogu žito mirisat
If I couldn't smell the wheat
Da ne vidim svog sora ili svog sokaka
If I couldn't see my brother or my street
Prije nego sklopim oči još jednom prije mraka
Before I close my eyes, one more time before darkness
Tu me napravio ćaća tu me mater slova učila
Here my father made me, here my mother taught me letters
Ak budem mor′o otić, tu ću se vratit ja
If I have to leave, I will return here
Di je moja njiva, moja šljiva, moga konja griva, moja krv živa
Where my field is, my plum tree, my horse's mane, my living blood
I rijeka bosut pliva
And the Bosut river flows
I pale svijeće za heroje što si ginuli za boje na ponos i čast imena Slavonije moje
And they light candles for the heroes who died for the colors, for the pride and honor of my Slavonia's name
Ref.
Chorus
I kad poželiš se ravnice dođi u Vinkovce
And when you long for the plains, come to Vinkovci
Sve moje ceste su davno zarasle
All my roads have long been overgrown
Stojim na pragu vrata Hrvatske
I stand on the threshold of Croatia's door
Zovu te, zovu ravni Slavonske
They call you, the Slavonian plains call you
Dođi u Vinkovce
Come to Vinkovci
...
...
Veličam slike svete što sam Slavonsko dijete od glave do pete
I glorify the holy images, a Slavonian child from head to toe
Pa niz grla pjesme lete
And songs fly down my throat
Rodnom kraju mome milom zavičaju
To my native land, my beloved homeland
Ti me ljudi znaju
These people know me
A zvijezde di ljepše sjaju, di se nebo ljepše plavi, di su osjećaji pravi i na najbolji mogući način di se slavi
Where the stars shine brighter, where the sky is bluer, where the feelings are real and where they celebrate in the best possible way
A rakija grebe ko slama
And the brandy scratches like straw
Druga već ide sama
The second one goes down by itself
Niz grlo u vene
Down the throat into the veins
Svaki put kad pisma krene
Every time the song starts
To je moja Slavonija
That's my Slavonia
To ti je moja ravnica
That's my plain
Razigrani vranci
Playful black horses
Svud okolo živa dica
Living children all around
Pa kad svira tamburica ljepše od cvrkuta ptica
And when the tamburica plays more beautifully than the chirping of birds
Lakše je prebolit
It's easier to get over
I bol onda postane sitnica
And pain then becomes a trifle
To ti je moja dika
That's my pride
Svako drvo iz šljivika
Every tree from the plum orchard
Ljudska mašta nebi mogla smisliti ljepših vidika
The human imagination couldn't imagine more beautiful views
Kad ne bude me više
When I am no more
Kad napustim tu idilu
When I leave this idyll
Ljubit ću u raju preljepu Slavonsku vilu
I will love a beautiful Slavonian fairy in heaven
Bogu smo dragi mi Hrvati
We Croats are dear to God
Pa ću molit da me vrati još posljednji put
So I will pray that He brings me back one last time
Da gledam dok se žito zlati
To watch the wheat turn golden
A kad me gore opet vrati
And when He takes me back up there
Zahvalit ću mu prvo
I will thank Him first
Što nam je dao komad zemlje što je za sebe sačuv'o
For giving us a piece of land that He kept for Himself
Ref.
Chorus
...
...
Poštujem svakoga, al′ se nikoga ne bojim
I respect everyone, but I fear no one
Osim dragog Boga jer je razlog što postojim i što me ima i živim da dičim se imenom Tvojim
Except dear God, because He is the reason why I exist and why I am here and alive, to be proud of Your name
Ne pokoreni grad na vratima Hrvatske stoji
The unconquered city stands at the gates of Croatia
Klize mi suze po licu dok slušam tamburicu
Tears slide down my face as I listen to the tamburica
Kad prsti taknu žicu
When fingers touch the strings
Ne dirajte mi ravnicu
Don't touch my plain
Al sinovi tvoji Slavonijo sad te paze
But your sons, Slavonia, are now watching over you
I nikad više tuđe noge neće da te gaze
And never again will foreign feet tread on you
Ginulo se to je lagano
People died, it was easy
Previše mama je plakalo
Too many mothers cried
Predugo je raj na zemlji ličio na pakao
For too long, paradise on earth looked like hell
Palili su naše šume, mi smo ih opet zasadili
They burned our forests, we planted them again
Rušili su naše kuće, mi smo ih opet izgradili
They demolished our houses, we built them again
Ubijali su moj narod, al' smo ostali na svom
They killed my people, but we stayed on our own
Da branimo svoj dom
To defend our home
Jer volimo svoj dom i vjerni domu svom
Because we love our home and are faithful to our home
Kad sokolove zovem Slavonija majka pjevat će se riječi ove:
When I call the falcons, Mother Slavonia will sing these words:
Ljubi svoje, moje, srce Slavonsko je, rakija u krvi jer volim ljude svoje pa srece na ove sina svetoj zemlji roda jer placena je krvlju dok se sanjala sloboda
Love your own, my dear, the heart is Slavonian, brandy in the blood because I love my people, so happiness to this son on the holy land of his birth because it was paid for with blood while freedom was dreamt of
Ref.
