Na nešto me sjeća taj gradTri kuće na trgu i zastaveZvuk neba je topal i jakA ljudi su sjeli pod hrastove
Budi mi se stara čežnja...Tu je bio njen visoki prozorDa ga ne gledamDa ga ne gledamSvoj strmi hod kroz sjeneBirao sam sâmA danas ugovor ističe
Budi mi se stara čežnja...
Reci im barem da ostave vrataDugo smo skupa i skoro smo braćaDa vidim zeleno i da vidim plavoDok nosi me đavoOprosti, vrijeme je varavo
I budi mi se stara čežnja...
This town reminds me of somethingThree houses at a square and flagsThe sound of the sky is warm and strongAnd people have sat down under oak trees
The old longing is awakening in me...
Over there was her high windowFor me not to look at itFor me not to look at itMy steep walk through shadowsI had chosen on my ownAnd today the contract expires
The old longing is awakening in me...
Tell them at least to leave the doorWe’ve been together for a long timeAnd we’re almost brothersLet me see the green and let me see the blueWhile the devil is taking me awaySorry, the weather is unsettled
And the old longing is awakening in me...
