Paroles et traduction Duško Kuliš - Kukavica

Kukavica

Muzičari, prijatelji moji
Sutra njenu svadbu svirate
Vesele joj pjesme pjevajte
U zoru dušu joj dirajte
Vesele joj pjesme pjevajte
U zoru dušu joj kidajte

Pjevajte joj "Kukavicu"
Svirajte joj "Lane moje"
"Kako mi nedostaješ"
Te smo pjesme voljeli nas dvoje
Ne pjevajte "Cesaricu"
Zaplakat će, bila bi grijehota
Imao sam ljubav jednu
Sada imam gorku uspomenu

Tuđi prsti u njenoj su kosi
Baš me briga, nek' sve voda nosi
Vesele joj pjesme pjevajte
U zoru dušu joj dirajte
Vesele joj pjesme pjevajte
U zoru dušu joj kidajte

Pjevajte joj "Kukavicu"
Svirajte joj "Lane moje"
"Kako mi nedostaješ"
Te smo pjesme voljeli nas dvoje
Ne pjevajte "Cesaricu"
Zaplakat će, bila bi grijehota
Imao sam ljubav jednu
Sada imam gorku uspomenu
Imao sam ljubav jednu
Sada imam gorku uspomenu

Cuckoo

Musicians, my friends,
Tomorrow you'll play at her wedding.
Sing her joyful songs,
Touch her soul at dawn.
Sing her joyful songs,
Tear her soul apart at dawn.

Sing her "Cuckoo,"
Play her "My Fawn,"
"How I miss you,"
We both loved those songs.
Don't sing "Cesarica,"
She'll cry, it would be a sin.
I had a love,
Now I have a bitter memory.

Another man's fingers are in her hair,
I don't care, let it all wash away.
Sing her joyful songs,
Touch her soul at dawn.
Sing her joyful songs,
Tear her soul apart at dawn.

Sing her "Cuckoo,"
Play her "My Fawn,"
"How I miss you,"
We both loved those songs.
Don't sing "Cesarica,"
She'll cry, it would be a sin.
I had a love,
Now I have a bitter memory.
I had a love,
Now I have a bitter memory.
