Paroles et traduction Oliver Dragojević - Marča Funebra

Marča Funebra

Ide sprovod priko sela
U kapsilu težak leži
Maslina je nevesela
Tovar reve, a pas reži.

Tuče zvono s kampanela
Po bandama plače loza
Brav se krivi iz macela
Rogač stari brsti koza.

Zvoni bubanj i činela
Šapju muški, plaču žene
Došlo se na kraj rokela
Došlo se do kraja krene.
Ide sprovod priko sela.

Vonja žuka i kanela
U kočeti baba hripje
Cvrči uje sa gradela
Na grobišću ploča škripje.

Vrtal bura je pomela
Pivac kunja iza kuće
Ide sprovod priko sela.
Kukviža je u bor sela
Na kominu puca pruće.

Funeral March

A funeral procession goes through the village
In the coffin lies a heavy burden
The olive tree is sad
The cattle bawl, the dog barks

The bell rings with its chimes
The grapevine weeps along the way
The cattle lean out of the pen
The old ram butts the goat

The drum and cymbals sound
Men whisper, women cry
We have reached the end of the journey
We have reached the end of the path
A funeral procession goes through the village

The smell of incense and cinnamon
An old woman wheezes in her hut
Crickets chirp from the eaves
A tombstone creaks in the graveyard

The storm has swept away the orchard
A rooster crows behind the house
A funeral procession goes through the village
A cuckoo has settled in the pine
Twigs snap on the chimney
