HOPA HOPA

(Croatie)          

/ Hopa, hopa, hopa,
procvala se gopa,
u našega popa,
curo garava! /
Hopa, hopa, hopa!
The snowball bush has bloomed,
at our priest's house,
dark-skinned girl!
/ Hopa, hopa, hopa,
cura voli popa.
Ja bi kapelana
al' mi ne da mama! /
Hopa, hopa, hopa!
The girl loves the priest.
'd love the chaplain,
but mama won't let me.
/ Hopa, hopa, hopa,
na tavanu klopa,
u podrumu vino,
al' će biti fino. /
Hopa, hopa, hopa!
In the loft there's eats,
and in the cellar wine,
oh, it will be ¯ne!
/ Hopa, curo, skoči,
da ti vidim oči,
da ti vidim očice,
garava djevojčice. /
Hopa, girl, jump!
Let me see your eyes,
let me see your little eyes,
dark-skinned little girl!
/ Hopa, hopa, hopa,
cura voli popa,
a ja popadiju,
i-ju-ju-ju-ju! /
Hopa, hopa, hopa!
The girl loves the the priest,
and I the priest's wife!
