Lyrics of Kao rani mraz - Đorđe Balašević

Kao rani mraz (original)

Dolmom idu majski svatovi
Nisu moji nego bratovi
To da je brataš mlađi od mene
Više niko ni ne spomene
Svi redom pregli bele pegaze
Da đurđevak uz put ne gaze
Tamburaša tri fijakera
Sram ga bilo kogod zakera
Oprosti mi, moja rano rana
Oprosti mi, srećo bogomdana
Bez reči si na basamak stala
A na moj život ta je tvoja tuga pala
Kao pokora, kao rani mraz…
Gledala me jedna ista ti
Ja sam još i mogo pristati
Al' srce… Ono se ko jare opire
Retko ko do njega dopire
Pod nebom je ognjeno i snežno
Al' malo šta još ume da ubije nežno
Da ne primetiš, kao rani mraz
Poljem idu svatovi
Svatovi su bratovi
Mlada prava partija
Lepša neg bogatija
Poljem žice štrucaju
Momci uvis pucaju
Muzika ne zastaje
Sa dušom se rastaje

(translation)

The May wedding is going to Dolma
They are not mine but brothers
That my brother is younger than me
Nobody even mentions it anymore
Everyone in turn looked at the white pegasus
Don't let the lily of the valley tread on the road
Tambourine three carriages
Shame on anyone
Forgive me, my early wound
Forgive me, good luck
Without a word, you stood on the basamak
And that sorrow of yours fell on my life
Like penance, like early frost…
The same one was watching me
I could still agree
Al 'srce… Ono se ko jare opire
Rarely does anyone reach it
It is fiery and snowy under the sky
But he still knows how to kill gently
Not to notice, like early frost
The bride and groom are walking in the field
The bride and groom are brothers
Young real party
Better than richer
The field of wires is licking
The boys are shooting up
The music doesn't stop
He parted with his soul
