Текст и перевод песни ŽETEOCI - Majka Marija

Majka Marija

Zemlje i neba ona je spona
Do vrata snova kao vojnik.
Skromno je svjetlo njenog doma
Za lađe naše svjetionik.

Toplinom puni zimska gnijezda
Ona je vrelo u kamenjaru.
Noćas u ležaj tvrdi pada
A mjesto joj je na oltaru.

Takva je bila sudbina njena,
Marija majka, Marija žena.

Nju nađe mač što mene traži
U led i oganj za nas je išla.
Po sto je srca dala svakom
A nju je sreća zaobišla.

U teškom ratu i bez kraja
Na pustom tlu gdje nema smjera.
Jedini put sve mu je dala
Njezina ljubav, njezina vjera.

Ona kroz veći pakao prođe
Ali pred nebom ostane čista.
A samo je obična majka puka
Tvoja i moja sasvim ista.

Slaba su za nju sva iskušenja
Život od jada i gorčina.
Videć je tako i Bog je htio
Neka mu ona rodi Sina.

Takva je bila sudbina njena,
Marija majka, Marija žena

Mother Mary

She is the link between earth and heaven
A soldier to the gates of dreams.
The light of her home is modest
A beacon for our ships.

She fills winter nests with warmth
She is the spring in the stony ground.
Tonight she falls onto a hard bed
But her place is on the altar.

Such was her destiny,
Mary, mother, Mary, woman.

She finds the sword that seeks me
For us she went through ice and fire.
She gave a hundred hearts to each
But fortune passed her by.

In a hard war without end
On barren ground where there is no direction.
She gave everything on her only path
Her love, her faith.

She went through a greater hell
But she remains pure before heaven.
And she is just an ordinary mother of the people
Yours and mine, exactly the same.

All trials are weak for her
A life of misery and bitterness.
God saw her like this and willed it
That she would bear his Son.

Such was her destiny,
Mary, mother, Mary, woman
