Lyrics and translation Marko Perković Thompson - Moj Ivane




Moj Ivane
My Ivan
čija je ono livada? čija je ono trava? čija li je divojka, rumena i plava?
Whose meadow is that? Whose grass is that? Whose girl is that, fair and blonde?
Ivanova livada. ivanova trava. ivanova divojka, rumena i plava.
Ivan's meadow. Ivan's grass. Ivan's girl, fair and blonde.
Odvela nam Ivana ta sudbina kleta, odvela sa kupresa priko bijela svijeta.
That cursed fate has taken Ivan from us, from the cypress trees across the wide world.
Ostala je samo jedna želja jaka, zapjevati pjesmu kuprešnog junaka.
Only one fierce wish remains: to sing a song of the hero of Kupres.
Moj Ivane, pobratime mio
My Ivan, my dear brother
Jesil' skoro na kupresu bio?
Have you been to Kupres lately?
Jel' kupreško polje uzo rano?
Did you plow the fields of Kupres early in the morning?
Jel' na njemu žito posijano?
Did you sow wheat in them?
Vratit će se Ivan s tisuću junaka, pjevat će se pjesme naših kuprešaka.
Ivan will return with a thousand heroes, and songs of our Kupres warriors will be sung.
Pokosit će Ivan livadu i travu, oženit će divojku rumenu i plavu.
Ivan will mow the meadow and the grass, and marry a fair and blonde girl.
Moj Ivane, pobratime mio
My Ivan, my dear brother
Jesil skoro na kupresu bio?
Have you been to Kupres lately?
Jel' kupreško polje uzo rano?
Did you plow the fields of Kupres early in the morning?
Jel' na njemu žito posijano?
Did you sow wheat in them?
