Paroles et traduction Miroslav Škoro - Konji bili, konji vrani

Konji bili, konji vrani

Još po danu nekako i mogu
Bis sakriti bez zamirke Bogu
Al' po noći kada sve utiša
Od sićanja san na oči neće

Ej, kakve sam konje im'o
Konje bile, konje vrane
Konje bile, konje vrane
I žerave razigrane
Konje bile, konje vrane
I žerave razigrane

Upalite onaj fenjer stari
Neka svitli dok zora ne svane
Neka u njem' gore uspomene
Na ljubavi, na minule dane

Ej, kakve sam konje im'o
Konje bile, konje vrane
Konje bile, konje vrane
I žerave razigrane
Konje bile, konje vrane
I žerave razigrane

Sve sam spisk'o, rastepo imanje
Što ga za me stari dido smog'o
Da bi mog'o platit' lumpovanje
Nebi l' srcu pijan pomoć mog'o

Ej, kakve sam konje im'o
Konje bile, konje vrane
Konje bile, konje vrane
I žerave razigrane

Ej, kakva sam kola im'o
Za momačke lude dane
Ostala mi kraj salaša
Ispod duda krajputaša

Ostala mi kraj salaša
Pale na nji' suve grane

Ej, kakve sam konje im'o

Horses White and Horses Black

In the day I can somehow hide
Your sins from God's wary eyes
But at night when the clamor's done
The memories return uninvited

Oh, what horses I had
Horses white and horses black
Horses white and horses black
And playful cranes
Horses white and horses black
And playful cranes

Light that old lantern, my dear
Let it shine until the dawn appears
Let it burn bright with the memories
Of our love through the bygone years

Oh, what horses I had
Horses white and horses black
Horses white and horses black
And playful cranes
Horses white and horses black
And playful cranes

I've squandered it all, sold the estate
Earned by my grandfather's sweat
To pay for my drunken escapades
Can't my aching heart find solace yet

Oh, what horses I had
Horses white and horses black
Horses white and horses black
And playful cranes

Oh, what a carriage I had
In my wild and reckless youth
Now it lies abandoned by the barn
Underneath the old elm's girth

Now it lies abandoned by the barn
And dry leaves fall upon its frame

Oh, what horses I had
