Zaspalo je siroče isprid tuđih dvora,ručicama doziva priko sinjeg mora.
Dođi, dođi, oče moj, mrkla noć se sprema,naše mile majčice još nam doma nema.
Sinoć su je odveli niki crni ljudi,tiho su joj pivali da se ne probudi.
Zaspalo je siroče ispod jorgovana,njega će probuditi zora sudnjeg dana.
An orphan has fallen asleep in front of the foreign doorsAnd it's calling with his hands across the deep blue sea
Come, come, my father, dark night is comingAnd our dear mother still isn't home
Last night, some dark people took her awayThey sang to her quietly not to wake her up
An orphan has fallen asleep under the lilacThe dawn of the Judgment Day will wake him up
