Lyrics and translation Krunoslav-Kićo Slabinac - Otiš'O Je S Mirisima Jutra

Otiš'O Je S Mirisima Jutra

Jos i danas sve me na njeg sjeti
Stari sesir visi pokraj vrata
I sto mati znala mi je reci
Bog je dao srce mu od zlata
Jos i danas cujem one rijeci
Samo dobre Bog na kraju ceka
Zato sine od svih mojih rijeci
Nek u srcu ostane bar neka

Otiso je otac moj polako
Otiso je stazom sto vijuga
Pratile ga neke stare pjesme
Sve do Rijeke kojom tece tuga

Otiso je pjetli kad se bude
Kao da u setnju nekud krece
Otiso je s mirisima jutra
Da l je znao da se vratit nece

Rasulo se jutro kroz ravnicu
Sve je tu a njega nema vise
Tuga usla tamburi kroz zicu
I ko da su pjesme sada tise...

He Has Left with the Fragrance of Morning

Even today, everything reminds me of him
The old hat hangs by the door
And everything Mother used to tell me
God gave him a heart of gold
Even today I hear those words
Only the good will God receive in the end
Therefore, my son, of all my words
Let at least one remain in your heart

My father left quietly
He left on a path that meanders
Some old songs followed him
All the way to Rijeka, where sadness flows

He left when the roosters crowed
As if he were going for a walk
He left with the fragrance of morning
Did he know that he would never return

The morning has spread across the plain
Everything is here, but he is gone
Sadness has entered the tambourines through the strings
And it seems that the songs are quieter now...
