Translation of the song lyrics Iza Devet Sela - Marko Perković Thompson

Iza Devet Sela (original)

čuješ li me kako
dozivam te rode
priko 9 šuma
i velike vode
po prašnjavom putu
ti uz rijeku kreni
kad zapiva sokol
sve si bliže meni.
Nemoj ići lijevo
na križanju staze
tu ne ide niko
svi se zvijeri paze.
nego ajde desno
do velike stjene
gorske će te vile
poslati do mene
Daleko daleko
iza devet sela
Daleko sam ja
Gdje su vuci vile i hajduci
tamo gdje sam rođen ja
Daleko daleko
iza devet sela
Daleko sam ja
gdje se zvijezde
kao ptice gnjezde
tamo tebe čekam ja
čuješ li me kako
dozivam te rode
priko 9 šuma i velike vode
budit će nas sunce
velikoga sjaja
a u zraku miris
moga rodnog kraja
Daleko daleko
iza 9 sela daleko sam ja
gdje su vuci vile i haduci
tamo gdje sam rođen ja
Daleko daleko
iza 9 sela daleko sam ja
gdje se zvijezde kao ptice gnjezde
tamo tebe čekam ja.
Daleko daleko
iza 9 sela daleko sam ja
gdje su vuci vile i haduci
tamo gdje sam rođen ja.
Daleko daleko iza 9 sela
daleko sam ja
gdje se zvijezde
kao ptice gnjezde
tamo tebe čekam ja.
(tamo tebe čekam ja)
Tamo tebe čekam ja
(daleko daleko iza 9 sela)

Iza Devet Sela (translation)

can you hear me
I summon those storks
about 9 forests
and great waters
on a dusty road
you go by the river
when the falcon drank
you are getting closer to me.
Don't go left
at the crossroads
no one goes there
all beasts watch out.
than go right
to a large rock
the mountain fairies will
send to me
Far, far away
behind nine villages
I am far away
Where wolves are fairies and bandits
where I was born
Far, far away
behind nine villages
I am far away
where the stars are
like birds' nests
I'm waiting for you there
can you hear me
I summon those storks
near 9 forests and large waters
the sun will wake us up
of great splendor
and the air smells
of my homeland
Far, far away
behind 9 villages I am far away
where wolves are fairies and haduci
where I was born
Far, far away
behind 9 villages I am far away
where the stars nest like birds
I'm waiting for you there.
Far, far away
behind 9 villages I am far away
where wolves are fairies and haduci
where I was born.
Far far behind 9 villages
I am far away
where the stars are
like birds' nests
I'm waiting for you there.
(I'm waiting for you there)
I'm waiting for you there
(far far behind 9 villages)
