Lyrics and translation Mišo Kovač - Zelena Trava Doma Mog

Zelena Trava Doma Mog

Iz vlaka još vidjeh sve
Staru sliku kraja svog
I dragog oca s mojom majkom i sa Mery

Vidjeh njene divne ruke bijele
Usne kao trešnje zrele
Taj zelen vrt i travu doma mog

Nađoh radost, nađoh svoju mladost
Sve što mi je srcu drago
Taj zelen vrt i travu doma mog

Do vrata vodi put
Isti mekan zelen sag
A ispred kuće stari hrast djetinjstva mog

Opet nađoh njene ruke bijele
Usne kao trešnje zrele
Taj zelen vrt i travu doma mog

Opet nađoh njene ruke bijele
Usne kao trešnje zrele
Taj zelen vrt i travu doma mog

A onda sam otvorio oči
I ugledao četiri siva zida
Shvatio sam ja samo sanjam

Ali doć će dan, jer mora doći
Kad ću ipak kući poći
Da vidim vrt i travu doma mog

Tu ću naći, znam, svoj stari dom
Sve što živi u srcu mom
Taj zelen vrt i travu doma mog

Green Grass of My Home

From the train I still saw everything
The old image of my region
And my dear father with my mother and with Mery

I saw her beautiful white hands
Lips like ripe cherries
That green garden and grass of my home

I found joy, I found my youth
Everything that my heart holds dear
That green garden and grass of my home

A path leads to the door
The same soft green fern
And in front of the house the old oak tree of my childhood

Again I found her white hands
Lips like ripe cherries
That green garden and grass of my home

Again I found her white hands
Lips like ripe cherries
That green garden and grass of my home

And then I opened my eyes
And saw four gray walls
I realized I was only dreaming

But the day will come, because it must come
When I will go home anyway
To see the garden and grass of my home

There I will find, I know, my old home
Everything that lives in my heart
That green garden and grass of my home
