Lyrics and translation Mladen Grdovic - Evo mene moji ljudi

Evo mene moji ljudi

Dobra vam bila večer, prijatelji moji
'Ko će izmišati karte, ako nas nima
Sidimo noćas kraj stola
A vidim da nima nas pola
Al' pisme naše su zauvik tu

Evo mene moji ljudi, doša sam vam na bevandu
Još je živa naša loza, još se penje uz verandu
Evo mene lipi moji, bili galeb neka leti
Oduvik je bila pisma Dalmaciji zakon sveti

Čuvaj sine moj, maslinu i škoje
Kada zaspem ja, pamti riči moje
(Kada zaspem ja, pamti riči moje)

Here I Am, My People

Good evening to you all, my friends
Who will invent cards, if not for us
Tonight we are gathered around the table
And I see half of us are missing
But our letters remain with us forever

Here I am, my beloved, I have come to you for a drink
Our vine is still alive, still climbing up the verandah
Here I am, my beautiful, let the seagull fly free
Throughout the ages, the letters were a sacred law to Dalmatia

My son, protect our olives and rocks
When I die, remember my words
(When I die, remember my words)

Good evening to you all, my friends
Who will invent cards, if not for us
Tonight we are gathered around the table
And I see half of us are missing
But our letters remain with us forever

Here I am, my beloved, I have come to you for a drink
Our vine is still alive, still climbing up the verandah
Here I am, my beautiful, let the seagull fly free
Throughout the ages, the letters were a sacred law to Dalmatia

My son, protect our olives and rocks
When I die, remember my words

My son, protect our olives and rocks
When I die, remember my words
When I die, remember my words
