Dalmatinac - Mladen Grdovic translation in English

Dalmatinac

Ja sam dite s mora, moja mati je Dalmacija
Imam barku i gitaru, srce koje ljubit' zna
Nema meni do mog juga i do mojih borova
Svo bi zlato ovog svita za moj bili kamen da

Dalmatinac sam, tu sam rođen ja
Plavo more zna da je volim ja, vilu s Jadrana
Dalmatinac sam, ovo je moj dom
Tu su moji didovi davno sidro bacili, mene vezali

Ja sam dite s bilog žala di je pisma galeba
Di je zemlja vode žedna, di su stabla maslina
Di su ljudi iste loze, di je sveta nedilja
Svo bi zlato ovog svita za moj bili kamen da

Dalmatinac sam, tu sam rođen ja
Plavo more zna da je volim ja, vilu s Jadrana
Dalmatinac sam, ovo je moj dom
Tu su moji didovi davno sidro bacili, mene vezali

Dalmatinac sam, tu sam rođen ja
Plavo more zna da je volim ja, vilu s Jadrana
Dalmatinac sam, ovo je moj dom
Tu su moji didovi davno sidro bacili, mene vezali

Dalmatian

I'm a child of the sea, my mother is Dalmatia
I have a boat and a guitar, a heart that knows how to love
There's nothing like my South and my pine trees
I'd give all the gold in this world for my white stone

I'm a Dalmatian, I was born here
The blue sea knows that I love her, my Adriatic fairy
I'm a Dalmatian, this is my home
Here my ancestors dropped anchor long ago, and tied me down

I'm a child of the white shore where the seagull sings
Where the land thirsts for water, where the olive trees stand
Where the people are of the same vine, where Sunday is sacred
I'd give all the gold in this world for my white stone

I'm a Dalmatian, I was born here
The blue sea knows that I love her, my Adriatic fairy
I'm a Dalmatian, this is my home
Here my ancestors dropped anchor long ago, and tied me down

I'm a Dalmatian, I was born here
The blue sea knows that I love her, my Adriatic fairy
I'm a Dalmatian, this is my home
Here my ancestors dropped anchor long ago, and tied me down
