Paroles et traduction Maja Blagdan - Tako Je Stipa Volio Anu

Tako Je Stipa Volio Anu

Zaljubio se Stipa zvonarev
Kao što davna priča veli
Horvata starog jedinu Anu
Zavolio je srcem cijelim

Nedjelja sveta s jeseni rane
Na šoru su se ponovno sreli
I Stipa reče, držeć' joj ruke
Ostani sa mnom život cijeli

Ljubav je vječna i o njoj priče kruže
Dan danas stari reći znaju
Kad dvoje sretnih ruke si pruže
Tako je Stipa volio Anu

Sagradili su kućicu malu
Na zemlji što im Zvonar dao
Imali konje Cvetka i Alu
I psa što Garov se zvao

Kažu da život mazio nije
Ni nju, ni njega, ni troje malih
Al' sretni skupa uvijek su bili
Za ništa drugo nisu znali

Ljubav je vječna i o njoj priče kruže
Dan danas stari reći znaju
Kad dvoje sretnih ruke si pruže
Tako je Stipa volio Anu

Ljubav je vječna i o njoj priče kruže
Dan danas stari reći znaju
Kad dvoje sretnih ruke si pruže
Tako je Stipa volio Anu

Stari su bili i on, i ona
A djeca već im otišla davno
Jednoga dana zazvone zvona
I Stipa pusti suzu za Anom

Te noći pas je cvilio tiho
Kao da želi otjerat' tugu
Izjutra rano Stipa zvonarev
Opet je Ani pružio ruku

Ljubav je vječna i o njoj priče kruže
Dan danas stari reći znaju
Kad dvoje sretnih ruke si pruže
Tako je Stipa volio Anu

Ljubav je vječna i o njoj priče kruže
Dan danas stari reći znaju
Kad dvoje sretnih ruke si pruže
Tako je Stipa volio Anu

Stipa's Love for Ana

The bell ringer Stipa fell in love
As the old story goes
With a Croatian girl, the only Ana
He loved her with all his heart

On an early autumn Sunday
They met again at the fair
And Stipa said, holding her hands
Stay with me for the rest of my life

Love is eternal and stories about it are told
Even today, the elders say
When two happy souls join hands
That's how Stipa loved Ana

They built a small house
On the land that Zvonar gave them
They had horses, Cvetko and Ala
And a dog named Garov

They say life wasn't easy
Not for her, not for him, not for their three little ones
But they were always happy together
They knew nothing else

Love is eternal and stories about it are told
Even today, the elders say
When two happy souls join hands
That's how Stipa loved Ana

Love is eternal and stories about it are told
Even today, the elders say
When two happy souls join hands
That's how Stipa loved Ana

They grew old, both of them
Their children had long since left
One day the bells rang out
And Stipa shed a tear for Ana

That night the dog whined softly
As if to chase away the sorrow
In the morning Stipa the bell ringer
Reached out his hand to Ana again

Love is eternal and stories about it are told
Even today, the elders say
When two happy souls join hands
That's how Stipa loved Ana

Love is eternal and stories about it are told
Even today, the elders say
When two happy souls join hands
That's how Stipa loved Ana
