Lyrics and translation Tomislav Bralic i Klapa Intrade - Zasto Uvik Pivan

Zasto Uvik Pivan

Ne pitajte zašto uvik pivam
O svom kraju o tom moru plavom
Ne pitajte što bi bez mog mista
I bez pisme u konobi staroj

Ne mogu vam ja drukčije reći
Što je ovom bolje od tog svita
Nek imaju svo bogatstvo oni
A ja rečen kada me se pita

Bit će da je nešto u tom moru
U tom moru di su bure, zime
Rodila je tu me moja mati
Tu si i ti rodija se sine

Di god pođem ja o tebi pivam
Ko me pita ja mu znadem reći
Tu sam bija, jesan i ostat ću
I kad zadnji puta pođem leći
Pođem leći

Nemojte mi judi vi zamirit
Što ja pivan uz žmuj dobrog vina
Srce znade privarit se neće
Ovo to je, moja domovina

Bit će da je nešto u tom moru
U tom moru di su bure, zime
Rodila je tu me moja mati
Tu si i ti rodija se sine

Di god pođem ja o tebi pivam
Ko me pita ja mu znadem reći
Tu sam bija, jesan i ostat ću
I kad zadnji puta pođem leći
Pođem leći

Why Do I Always Sing

Don't ask me why I always sing
Of my hometown and its deep blue sea
Don't ask what I would be without my village
And without the songs in the old tavern

I can't tell you any other way
That there is nothing better in this world
Let others have all their riches
But I will say, when asked

There must be something in that sea
In that sea where there are storms and winters
My mother gave birth to me there
That's where you were born, my son

Wherever I go, I sing about you
Whoever asks, I tell them
I was there, I am, and I will stay
And when I finally go to sleep
I will go to sleep

Don't blame me, my dear
For singing with a glass of good wine
The heart knows no deceit
This is it, my homeland

There must be something in that sea
In that sea where there are storms and winters
My mother gave birth to me there
That's where you were born, my son

Wherever I go, I sing about you
Whoever asks, I tell them
I was there, I am, and I will stay
And when I finally go to sleep
I will go to sleep
