| Vrijeme ni rata niti mira
| A time of neither war nor peace
|
| Budućnost nejasna i burna
| The future is unclear and turbulent
|
| Politika se u sve dira
| Politics touches everything
|
| Ni ljubav nije sigurna
| Love is not safe either
|
| Politika joj rasti ne da
| Politics does not allow her to grow
|
| A ljubav plaha kao dijete
| And love is timid as a child
|
| Tek začuđena gleda, gleda
| She just stares in amazement, watching
|
| Kako se mreža plete
| How the net is woven
|
| Oh, ovaj neveseli kuplet
| Oh, this gloomy couplet
|
| Mudrost iz usta zabavljača
| Wisdom from the mouth of an entertainer
|
| Al' njemu čini se opet
| But it seems to him again
|
| Da ljubav mora biti jača
| That love must be stronger
|
| Politika žrtve ne bira
| Victim politics does not choose
|
| Slijedeći tko je, tko će znati
| Next who is, who will know
|
| Al' vrag mi opet ne da mira
| But the devil does not give me peace again
|
| Ljubav joj može na put stati
| Love can stand in her way
|
| Oh, ovaj neveseli kuplet
| Oh, this gloomy couplet
|
| Mudrost iz usta zabavljača
| Wisdom from the mouth of an entertainer
|
| Al' njemu čini se opet
| But it seems to him again
|
| Da ljubav mora biti jača
| That love must be stronger
|
| Vrijeme ni rata niti mira
| A time of neither war nor peace
|
| Budućnost klasna ili rasna
| The future is class or racial
|
| Smrt posvuda već ordinira
| Death is already ordaining everywhere
|
| A ljubav — sumnjiva, bezglasna | And love - doubtful, voiceless |
