| Spasio sam glavu, | I saved my head, |
| Ali nisam dusu, | But I'm not a soul, |
| Zavela me pjesmom, | She seduced me with a song, |
| Njen me pokri val, | Her wave covered me, |
| I u zla vremena | And in bad times |
| Vjetri kad zapusu, | When the winds blow, |
| Jos u srcu bjesni | He still rages in his heart |
| Njezin fortunal. | Her fortune. |
| Bila mi je zvijezda | She was a star to me |
| Sto treperi s' neba, | What flickers from the sky, |
| Dozvala me svijetlom, | She called me with light, |
| Uvela u mrak | Led into darkness |
| Zani me ljepotom | I am fascinated by beauty |
| Vise no sto treba, | More than necessary, |
| Jos me muci, | It still bothers me, |
| Jos mi tajni salje znak. | Still the secret is sending me a sign. |
