Croatian Folk "Podravska krv" lyrics

Translation to:enhrru

Podravska krv

Rodil sem se vu najlepšem raju,v Podravini, vu najlepšem kraju.Na svetog Jožefa tu na Dravi,tamburu mi odma v ruke dali.

Stari japa navek znal je reći s tamburom se nemre gruntek steći.S tamburom sem celi svet obišel,s Podravine zbog nje sem otišel.

REF: Vrnul se bum makar v lesu,il nek Dravu sim donesu.Z dravskim peskom me pokrijte,z dravskom vodom poškropite.

Igral sem, i igral bum do smrti,tu navadu ne bum dal zatrti.Mesto krvi srcem Drava teče,se me više ona k sebi vleče.

Grunta nemam, imam tamburaše,srce puno Podravine naše.Brza Drava se me više vleče,jer u meni krv podravska teče. 

REF:

Z dravskim peskom me pokrijte,z dravskom vodom poškropite.

Blood from the Drava valley

I was born in the most beautiful of paradises,In the Drava valley, the most beautiful of places.At St. Joseph here on the Drava,A tambura was immediately placed in my hands.

My old father always used to say,A tambura can't give you property.With the tambura I have gone through the whole world,It had made me leave the Drava valley.

REF:I'll come back there, even in a coffin,Or let them bring the Drava here to me.With Drava sand cover me,The Drava's water sprinkle over me. (x2)

I have played, and I will play to the death,That practice I won't let go awayInstead of blood the Drava flows in my heart,Every time it draws me closer.

Property I haven't got, I have the tambura players,A heart full of our Drava valley.The rapid Drava attracts me ever more,Because my blood is from the Drava valley.

REF:

I'll come back there, even in a coffin,Or let them bring the Drava here to me.With Drava sand cover me,The Drava's water sprinkle over me.With Drava sand cover me,The Drava's water sprinkle over me.
