Lyrics and translation NAJBOLJI HRVATSKI TAMBURAŠI - Odlazim




Odlazim
Leaving
Ma pusti, majko, konje
Mother, let the horses roam free
Nek' livadom jure
Let them gallop through the meadow
Vise ih necu prezat' u kola
I will not harness them to the cart again
Nek' rade sto hoce, sad je svejedno
Let them do as they please, it matters not
Sam' nek' ih nitko nikud ne tjera
Just let no one chase them away
Daj tamburase, ako ih jos ima
Give me the tamburitza, if there are any left
Nek' rakije bude u cokanjima
Let there be rakia in the glasses
Pozdravi Stipu i reci mu samo
Greet Stipa and tell him only
Da zalim sto godinama ne pricamo
That I regret that we have not spoken for a hundred years
Odlazim, al' necu danas
I am leaving, but not today
Danas otvori sirom kapiju
Today, open the wide gate
Nek' dodju ljudi, nek' pjesma zvoni
Let the people come, let the song ring
U ovom nasem praznom dvoristu
In this our empty courtyard
Odlazim, a nisam htio
I am leaving, though I did not wish it
Znam da ce sutra srce puknuti
I know that tomorrow my heart will break
Ma ne bi ja, majko, al' necu, ne mogu
I would not leave, mother, but I cannot, I cannot
Nikog za nista, osim Boga, moliti
I can ask no one for anything, except God
Nek' raste trava na staroj njivi
Let the grass grow on the old field
Za koju marvu sjeno kositi
For which the cattle must mow hay
I ovo zito kao da nije
And this wheat seems not to be
Onako zlatno kao prije
So golden as it was before
Daj tamburase, ako ih jos ima
Give me the tamburitza, if there are any left
Nek' rakije bude u cokanjima
Let there be rakia in the glasses
Pozdravi Stipu i reci mu samo
Greet Stipa and tell him only
Da zalim sto godinama ne pricamo
That I regret that we have not spoken for a hundred years
Odlazim, al' necu danas
I am leaving, but not today
Danas otvori sirom kapiju
Today, open the wide gate
Nek' dodju ljudi, nek' pjesma zvoni
Let the people come, let the song ring
U ovom nasem praznom dvoristu
In this our empty courtyard
Odlazim, a nisam htio
I am leaving, though I did not wish it
Znam da ce sutra srce puknuti
I know that tomorrow my heart will break
Ma ne bi ja, majko, al' necu, ne mogu
I would not leave, mother, but I cannot, I cannot
Nikog za nista, osim Boga, moliti
I can ask no one for anything, except God
