Vrime o fjake - Ivan Ive Županović перевод на английский

Vrime o fjake

Ispo' maje smokve
U po' lada sidin
Niže dvora mandrač
Kroz rastrijač vidin

Lega' bi', ma, osta'
Možjani mi nisu
Ka' vrime o' fjake
Drži svoju misu

Cili dan san leža'
Teško mi se maknit'
Ova lina ar'ja
Ne da ništa taknit'

U to bokun lada
Dočeka' ću mraka
Bez škerci stoši
Kad pritišće fjaka

Galebu ni traga
Ne čuju se tići
Nigdi žive duše
Ni glasa, ni riči

Smokve ka' rečine
Na suncu se zlate
A ja samo čekan
Da se force vrate
A ja samo čekan
Da se force vrate

Ka' vriću žala
Na prsi mi dalo
S mora nima bave
Da rasfriška malo

Nika mala snaga
Ča još nisam vodi
Kroz rastrijač virim
Miču li se brodi

Galebu ni traga
Ne čuju se tići
Nigdi žive duše
Ni glasa, ni riči

Smokve ka' rečine
Na suncu se zlate
A ja samo čekan
Da se force vrate
A ja samo čekan
Da se force vrate

A-a-a-a

Time of Fjaka (Afternoon Slumber)

Under the fig tree, my love,
In the half-shade I sit,
Below the courtyard, the harbor,
Through the blinds I squint.

I'd lie down, but I linger,
My thoughts are adrift,
As the time of fjaka,
Holds its languid grip.

All day I've been lying,
It's hard for me to move,
This lazy air, my darling,
Doesn't let me do a thing.

In this bit of shade, sweetheart,
I'll wait for the dark,
Without a single worry,
When the fjaka presses hard.

Not a seagull in sight, my love,
No crickets can be heard,
Not a soul around,
Not a voice, not a word.

Figs like jewels, my darling,
Gleam golden in the sun,
And I'm just waiting,
For my strength to return.
And I'm just waiting,
For my strength to return.

Like a burning ember, sweetheart,
It sits upon my chest,
There's no breeze from the sea,
To give me some rest.

What little strength remains, my love,
Which I haven't yet lost,
Through the blinds I peer,
To see if ships have crossed.

Not a seagull in sight, my love,
No crickets can be heard,
Not a soul around,
Not a voice, not a word.

Figs like jewels, my darling,
Gleam golden in the sun,
And I'm just waiting,
For my strength to return.
And I'm just waiting,
For my strength to return.

A-a-a-a
