| Tamburaši (original) | Tamburaši (translation) |
|---|---|
| Pogodiše ga tamburaši | He was hit by tambourines |
| Tamo gdje je najtanji | Where it is thinnest |
| Pa ljudina od sto kila | Well a man of a hundred pounds |
| Otvorila srce i džep | She opened her heart and pocket |
| Pustio je prvu suzu | He shed his first tear |
| Kad ga tuga svladala | When sadness overcame him |
| Sad muzičari lakše muzu | Now musicians find it easier to muse |
| Zadnju paru iz njega | The last steam from it |
| Platio je pet-šest rundi | He paid five or six rounds |
| Članovima orkestra | To the members of the orchestra |
| Sad ga već desetak ljudi | About a dozen people now |
| Poznaje iz djetinjstva | He has known her since childhood |
| Dok pjevaju mu gradski dečki | As the city boys sing to him |
| O širokim poljima | About wide fields |
| Pijani se šanker ceri | The drunken bartender grins |
| I tiho podjebava | And he fucks quietly |
| Tip sa sićušnom tamburicom | The guy with the tiny tambourine |
| Masira mu srce ranjeno | He massages his wounded heart |
| Pjeva mu tiho na uho | She sings softly in his ear |
| Pjesme o skorom povratku | Songs of the imminent return |
| Potrošio je cijelu plaću | He spent his entire salary |
| Drži se na nogama | Stay on your feet |
| Čim slomio je prvu čašu | As soon as he broke the first glass |
| Bacili ga hladno van | They threw him out cold |
