Lyrics and translation Marko Perković Thompson - Iza Devet Sela

Iza Devet Sela

čuješ li me kako
Dozivam te rode
Priko 9 šuma
I velike vode
Po prašnjavom putu
Ti uz rijeku kreni
Kad zapiva sokol
Sve si bliže meni.
Nemoj ići lijevo
Na križanju staze
Tu ne ide niko
Svi se zvijeri paze.
Nego ajde desno
Do velike stjene
Gorske će te vile
Poslati do mene
Daleko daleko
Iza devet sela
Daleko sam ja
Gdje su vuci vile i hajduci
Tamo gdje sam rođen ja
Daleko daleko
Iza devet sela
Daleko sam ja
Gdje se zvijezde
Kao ptice gnjezde
Tamo tebe čekam ja
čuješ li me kako
Dozivam te rode
Priko 9 šuma i velike vode
Budit će nas sunce
Velikoga sjaja
A u zraku miris
Moga rodnog kraja
Daleko daleko
Iza 9 sela daleko sam ja
Gdje su vuci vile i haduci
Tamo gdje sam rođen ja
Daleko daleko
Iza 9 sela daleko sam ja
Gdje se zvijezde kao ptice gnjezde
Tamo tebe čekam ja.
Daleko daleko
Iza 9 sela daleko sam ja
Gdje su vuci vile i haduci
Tamo gdje sam rođen ja.
Daleko daleko iza 9 sela
Daleko sam ja
Gdje se zvijezde
Kao ptice gnjezde
Tamo tebe čekam ja.
(Tamo tebe čekam ja)
Tamo tebe čekam ja

Beyond Nine Villages

Do you hear me how
I am calling you, darling
Across 9 forests
And great waters
Along the dusty road
You go along the river
When the hawk sings
You are ever closer to me.
Do not go left
At the crossroads
No one goes there
Every beast beware.
But instead go right
To the big rock
The mountain fairies
Will send you to me
Far far away
Beyond nine villages
Far away am I
Where there are wolves, fairies, and outlaws
There where I was born
Far far away
Beyond nine villages
Far away am I
Where the stars
Nest like birds
There I await you
Do you hear me how
I am calling you, darling
Across 9 forests and great waters
The sun will awaken us
Of great brightness
And in the air the scent
Of my homeland
Far far away
Beyond 9 villages far away am I
Where there are wolves, fairies, and outlaws
There where I was born
Far far away
Beyond 9 villages far away am I
Where the stars nest like birds
There I await you.
Far far away
Beyond 9 villages far away am I
Where there are wolves, fairies, and outlaws
There where I was born.
Far far away beyond 9 villages
Far away am I
Where the stars
Nest like birds
There I await you.
(There I await you)
There I await you
