Lyrics of Rijeka Suza I Na Njoj Ladja - Zdravko Colic

Rijeka Suza I Na Njoj Ladja (original)

Ne placi, duso, kasno je,
Tvoj se rob umorio.
Zlatnim sam satom nekada
Sve nase dane mijerio.
Ne placi, ja nemam nade,
Ti nemas stida.
Nekada i toga bilo je
Medju ova cetri zida.
Zato ne placi,
Tvoje suze ce padati
Na zemlju koja samo
Sumnju radja.
Zato ne placi,
Bice tesko
Kada pocne rasti
Rijeka suza i na njoj ladja.

(translation)

Don't cry, baby, it's late,
Your slave is tired.
I used to be a gold watch
He measured all our days.
Don't cry, I have no hope,
You have no shame.
It used to be that way
Between these four walls.
So don't cry,
Your tears will fall
To a land that only
Doubt breeds.
So don't cry,
It will be difficult
When it starts to grow
A river of tears and a ship on it.
