Paroles et traduction Vinko Coce - Ribari

Ribari

Prije jutra ribari se bude
More zna njih, more zna te ljude

Prije jutra u zoru
S galebima na moru
Na postama sunce čekaju
Svako jutro parangale dižu
Vizitaju i vršu i mrižu

A galebi čekaju
Da i njima ća daju
U ribare oni viruju
Noć je mirna, vali spavaju
Pod svitlom se ribe skupljaju

Spurtilon i ostima
Dobit' će po kostima
Kad se smire, kad se pridaju
U dubini mriže parangali
Na pučini bile se sinjali

Tiho kraju veslaju
Malu barku guraju
A ribara ruke izdaju
Prije jutra umoran
Ribar čeka novi dan

Dok svi ljudi spavaju
Galebi se karaju

Fishermen

Fishermen will be up before dawn
The sea knows them, the sea knows these people

Before dawn in the morning light
With seagulls on the ocean
They wait for the sun at their posts
Every morning they raise their nets
They visit both the weir and the net

And the seagulls are waiting
That they too will be given something
They believe in the fishermen
The night is calm, the waves are sleeping
Under the light, the fish gather

With a harpoon and a knife
They will get to the bone
When they calm down, when they give up
In the depths of the nets and purse seines
On the open sea, white signals were given

Silently they row towards the shore
They push the small boat
But the fisherman's hands betray him
Tired before dawn
The fisherman waits for a new day

While all the people sleep
The seagulls quarrel
