Paroles et traduction Mladen Grdovic - Dalmatinca Mater Rodi

Dalmatinca Mater Rodi

Da ga sritna zvizda vodi
Mater lipo dite rodi
Na tom škoju kamenitom
Svome rodu plemenitom

Dite malo, zrno soli
Da svoj kamen bili voli
Da mu more bude pijat
Kad naraste će navigat'

Dalmatinca mater rodi na kamenu bilom
'misto svilom pokrije ga galebovim krilom
Da ne plače nego piva pisme o svom rodu
O kamenu, biloj boji, o moru i brodu

Koga ludi vitar nosi
Kapja mora mu u kosi
Dok nevera jidra krivi
Da se vrati svojoj rivi

Dok mu lipa mladost plamti
Da didove svoje pamti
Da podili koru kruva
Sveti Duje da ga čuva

Dalmatinca mater rodi na kamenu bilom
'misto svilom pokrije ga galebovim krilom
Da ne plače nego piva pisme o svom rodu
O kamenu, biloj boji, o moru i brodu

Dalmatinca mater rodi na kamenu bilom
'misto svilom pokrije ga galebovim krilom
Da ne plače nego piva pisme o svom rodu
O kamenu, biloj boji, o moru i brodu

O kamenu, biloj boji, o moru i brodu

A Dalmatian Mother Gives Birth

May a lucky star guide him
Mother gives birth to a beautiful child
On this rocky islet
To his noble kin

A small child, a grain of salt
To love his white stone
For the sea to be his drink
When he grows up, he'll navigate

A Dalmatian mother gives birth on white stone
Instead of silk, she covers him with a seagull's wing
So he doesn't cry but sings songs of his kin
Of stone, white color, of the sea and ship

Whom the crazy wind carries
Drops of the sea in his hair
While the storm bends the sails
So he returns to his shore

While his beautiful youth flames
So he remembers his grandfathers
So he shares a crust of bread
May Saint Domnius protect him

A Dalmatian mother gives birth on white stone
Instead of silk, she covers him with a seagull's wing
So he doesn't cry but sings songs of his kin
Of stone, white color, of the sea and ship

A Dalmatian mother gives birth on white stone
Instead of silk, she covers him with a seagull's wing
So he doesn't cry but sings songs of his kin
Of stone, white color, of the sea and ship

Of stone, white color, of the sea and ship
