HOP ŽICA ŽICA

(Croatie)          

Oko moje plavo i garavo,
dosta si mi svita izvaralo.
Oh my eye, blue and dark,
you have deceived enough people for me.
Refrain :
/ Hop žica žica žica drma mi se kabanica. /

Hop žica žica žica, my cape shakes.
Lipo ti je ljubiti starije,
al' je slađe poljubiti mlađe.
It is nice to kiss someone older,
but it is sweeter to kiss someone younger.
Bećar nisam, a bećar mi kažu.
Sad ću biti, pa neka ne lažu.
I am no bećar, but bećar they call me.
Now I will be one, so they won't be lying.
Lipo ti je ljubit u šljiviku,
doli trava gori šljiva plava.
It is good to kiss in the plum orchard,
the grass below, the blue plums above.
Garavušo kad bi moja bila,
moja bi se želja ispunila.
Dark girl, if you would be mine,
my wish would be fulfilled.
