Paroles et traduction Krunoslav-Kićo Slabinac - Otiš'o Je S Mirisima Jutra

Otiš'o Je S Mirisima Jutra

Jos i danas sve me na njeg' sjeti
Stari sesir visi pokraj vrata
I sto mati znala mi je reci
Bog je dao srce mu od zlata

Jos i danas cujem one rijeci
Samo dobre Bog na kraju ceka
Zato sine od svih mojih rijeci
Nek' u srcu ostane bar neka

Otis'o je otac moj polako
Otis'o je stazom sto vijuga
Pratile ga neke stare pjesme
Sve do rijeke kojom tece tuga

Otis'o je pijetli kad se bude
Kao da u setnju nekud krece
Otis'o je s mirisima jutra
Dal' je znao da se vratit nece

Rasulo se jutro kroz ravnicu
Sve je tu, a njega nema vise
Tuga usla tamburi kroz zicu
I k'o da su pjesme sada tise

Otis'o je otac moj polako
Otis'o je stazom sto vijuga
Pratile ga neke stare pjesme
Sve do rijeke kojom tece tuga

Otis'o je pijetli kad se bude
Kao da u setnju nekud krece
Otis'o je s mirisima jutra
Dal' je znao da se vratit nece

He Has Gone With the Scents of Dawn

Even today I remember him
His old hat hanging by the door
And how my mother always said
God has given him a heart of gold

Even today, I hear these words
Only the good ones God accepts
Therefore, my son, of all my words
Let some at least remain in your heart

My father left slowly
He left along the winding trail
He was accompanied by some old songs
Until the river through which sadness flows

He left when the roosters crow
As if he was going for a walk
He left with the scents of dawn
Did he know he would never return

The morning spread over the plains
Everything is here but he is gone
Sadness enters the strings of the tambourine
And it is as if the songs are now softer

My father left slowly
He left along the winding trail
He was accompanied by some old songs
Until the river through which sadness flows

He left when the roosters crow
As if he was going for a walk
He left with the scents of dawn
Did he know he would never return
