Lyrics and translation Oliver Dragojević - Dalmatinske Drage Luke

Dalmatinske Drage Luke

Sta je pusta Londra dok po Zadru snivam,
Ne fali mi Rio, Sibenik dok piva.
Kad se Stradun budi, necu na Havaje,
Hocu samo slozno: Marjane, Marjane.

Dalmatinske drage luke n
A pucini sanjam sve
Daleke i sjajne zvizde,
Moga srca lanterne.
Dalmatinske drage luke
Mornarskoj su dusi sve,
Jos me zovu pismom majke,
Jos mi bude stare sne.

E, da mi je s tobom u Trogira poci,
Zagrliti buru u Makarskoj noci.
A kad u Omisu klapska pisma padne
Nek se cuje slozno: Marjane, Marjane.

Dalmatinske drage luke n
A pucini sanjam sve
Daleke i sjajne zvizde,
Moga srca lanterne.
Dalmatinske drage luke
Mornarskoj su dusi sve,
Jos me zovu pismom majke,
Jos mi bude stare sne.

Pusti mi Majorku dok pivam u Hvaru,
Velu Luku sanjam na moru i kraju.
E, da mi je s tobom poc do svake vale,
Zapivati slozno: Marjane, Marjane.

Dalmatinske drage luke n
A pucini sanjam sve
Daleke i sjajne zvizde,
Moga srca lanterne.
Dalmatinske drage luke
Mornarskoj su dusi sve,
Jos me zovu pismom majke,
Jos mi bude stare sne.

Dalmatian Beloved Ports

Barren is London while for Zadar I long,
No Rio I crave, when Šibenik I sing.
When the Stradun awakens, Hawaii I spurn,
I desire only this: Marjane, Marjane.

Dalmatian beloved ports,
In my dreams I see you all
Distant and shining stars,
Lanterns of my heart.
Dalmatian beloved ports
To a sailor's soul are all,
Still your mother's letters call me,
Still my old dreams possess me.

Oh, my darling, to roam with you through Trogir,
To embrace the storm in Makarska's night.
And when in Omiš the clap of thunder resounds,
Let us sing together: Marjane, Marjane.

Dalmatian beloved ports,
In my dreams I see you all
Distant and shining stars,
Lanterns of my heart.
Dalmatian beloved ports
To a sailor's soul are all,
Still your mother's letters call me,
Still my old dreams possess me.

Let me abandon Mallorca to drink in Hvar,
Vela Luka I dream of on the sea and shore.
Oh, my love, to sail with you to every wave,
To sing together: Marjane, Marjane.

Dalmatian beloved ports,
In my dreams I see you all
Distant and shining stars,
Lanterns of my heart.
Dalmatian beloved ports
To a sailor's soul are all,
Still your mother's letters call me,
Still my old dreams possess me.
