Zvijezda tjera mjeseca

Zvijezda tjera mjeseca,

Za goru ga zatjera,

za goricom vodica,

na vodici curica,

b’jelo lice umiva.

"Daj mi malo vodice

iz te b’jele ručice!"

"Ne dam, dragi, ni kapi,

nek’ ti duša iskapi,

zbog sinoćnje besjede!

Zbog sinoćnje besjede

i rumene jabuke.

Drugoj daješ rumene,

meni mladoj uvehle,

uvehla ti duša ta!"

Narodna pjesma

English translation

Star chases the Moon
It chases it behind the hill

Behind the hill is water
Upon the water a girl
Washing her white face

‘Give me some water girl
From your white hand’

‘I won’t give you a drop dear
May your soul fade away
Because of what you said last night

Because of what you said last night
And the ripe apple

You give the red apples to another girl
And to me only the stale ones
May your soul become stale
