Translation of the song lyrics Modra Rijeka - Arsen Dedic

Modra Rijeka (original)

Niko ne zna gdje je ona
Malo znamo al je znano
Iza gore iza dola
Iza sedam iza osam
I jos dalje i jos gore
Preko gorkih preko mornih
Preko gloga preko drace
Preko zege preko stege
Preko slutnje preko sumnje
Iza devet iza deset
I jos dublje i jos jace
Iza slutnje iza tmace
Gdje pjetlovi ne pjevaju
Gdje se ne zna za glas roga
I jos hude i jos lude
Iza uma iza boga
Ima jedna modra rijeka
Siroka je duboka je
Sto godina siroka je
Tisuc ljeta duboka jest
O duljini i ne sanjaj
Tma i tmusa neprebolna
Ima jedna modra rijeka
Ima jedna modra rijeka
Ima jedna modra rijeka
Valja nama preko rijeke

Modra Rijeka (translation)

Nobody knows where she is
We know little but it is known
Behind up behind down
After seven after eight
And further and worse
Over the bitter over the sea
Over hawthorn over drace
Over the saw over the clamp
Over foreboding over doubt
After nine after ten
And even deeper and even stronger
Behind the foreboding behind the darkness
Where roosters don't sing
Where the voice of the horn is not known
And worse and still crazy
Behind the mind behind God
There is one blue river
It is wide and deep
It is a hundred years wide
A thousand summers is deep
Don't dream about length
Darkness and gloom incurable
There is one blue river
There is one blue river
There is one blue river
We need it across the river
