Pisat Cu Joj Pisma Duga

Moj mjeseče, evo pada veče, a gdje si ti?
Svuda tama, moja draga sama, vidiš li?
Cvijeće, trava, baš sve noćas spava,
Hej gradovi, kud′ li me vode ovi drumovi?

Zvijezdo sjajna, koga l' noćas sanja, pitaj je.
Ruke njene, čekaju li mene ili ne?
Duši kaži, srcu malo slaži.
Hej gradovi, kud′ li me vode ovi drumovi?

Pisaću joj pisma duga,
Iz Zagore, iz Drniša,
Razglednice tople s juga,
Iz Banata, Bosne, Niša...

Poslaću joj slike svoje,
Gdje se vide Istra, Pula,
Nek bar nešto ima moje,
Da je tješi, da je brani, da je čuva

I'll Write You Long Letters

My moon, the evening falls, where are you?
Darkness everywhere, my darling's alone, can you see?
Flowers, grass, everything sleeps tonight,
Oh cities, where do these roads lead me?

Oh shining star, who does she dream of tonight, ask her.
Her hands, are they waiting for me or not?
Tell her soul, lie a little to her heart.
Oh cities, where do these roads lead me?

I'll write you long letters,
From Dalmatia, from Drniš,
Warm postcards from the south,
From Banat, Bosnia, Niš...

I'll send you pictures of myself,
Where you can see Istria, Pula,
Let her have something of mine,
To comfort her, to protect her, to keep her safe.
