Lyrics and translation Hari Roncevic - Splite, Volim Te

Splite, Volim Te

Ka zraku sunčevu kroz oblake
čekam da baciš svitlost na mene
Ka rijeka moru, tebi spuštam se
Da me oslobodiš od planine

U tvome krilu topim snijeg
I oko mrzlog srca nakupljeni led
I ti me uvik čekaš tu
Zagrljen s morem, na dušu umornu

Neka sve gnjilo je, još uvik volim te

Ka ptica zrno prosa tražim te
Dok stišću zime tuđe ledene
Pa, putem bacim kufer nevolje
Da dođem čist pod tvoje zidine

U tvome krilu topim snijeg ...

I sve ti grublje riči govore
Ma sve su to riči ljubomore
A zašto onda produ cili svit
Pa dodu opet tu, u tvome krilu umrit

Splite volim te još, neka gnjilo je sve
Ja još uvik ćutim miris tvoje ulice
Neka guše me sad više suze no smijeh
Ja još imam snage reć ti - Splite volim te

Split, I Love You

I wait for you in the sun's rays through the clouds
to cast your light on me
I descend to you like the rivers to the sea
To free me from the mountains

In your bosom I melt the snow
And the ice that has gathered around my cold heart
And you always wait for me here
Embraced by the sea, for my weary soul

Even though everything is rotten, I still love you

I search for you like a bird looking for a grain of millet
While foreign winters squeeze me with their icy grip
So I cast away my suitcase of troubles on the road
To come clean to your walls

In your bosom I melt the snow ...

And all the harsh words you speak
Are just words of jealousy
And why else would the world continue to spin
But to come back here, to die in your bosom

I still love you, Split, even though everything is rotten
I can still feel the scent of your streets
Even though more tears choke me now than laughter
I still have the strength to say - Split, I love you
