Текст и перевод песни Marko Perković Thompson - Geni Kameni

Geni Kameni

Cvrsta ruka i postenje
Sveta voda i krstenje
Budi covik, to je dika
Budi roda svoga slika

Ne daj na se, ne daj svoje
Nemoj tudje, prokleto je
Jer ko zivot tako prodje
Ponosan pred Boga dodje

Gdje god da te zivot nosi
Uvik moras znati ko si, hej

Geni, geni kameni
Vatra gori u meni
Geni, geni kameni
Takvi smo mi rodjeni
Uzmi ili ostavi

Losa bila '45-ta
Rasula nas preko svijeta
A sad nova loza raste
Vratile se kuci laste

Plave krvi, bijela lica
Radjaju se nova dica
Na kamenu ka na svili
Di oduvik mi smo bili

Stone Genes

A firm hand and honesty
Holy water and baptism
Be a man, that is glory
Be an image of your kin

Don't surrender what's yours
Don't take what's foreign, it's cursed
For that's how life passes
Proudly come before God

Wherever life takes you
Always know who you are, hey

Genes, stony genes
A fire burns in me
Genes, stony genes
That's how we are born
Take it or leave it

'45 was a bad year
It scattered us across the world
But now a new vine is growing
Swallows have returned home

Blue blood, white faces
New children are being born
On stone like on silk
Where we have always been
