Dalmatinske drage luke [English translation]

What is all that London while I dream in Zadar1?

I don't miss Rio while Šibenik 1 sings

When Stradun2 wakes, I won't go to Hawaii,

I only want to hear all together: Marjan! Marjan! 3

[Chorus]

I dream on the open sea about all the

Dear dalmatian harbours

Far away and glowing stars

Lanterns of my heart.

Dear dalmatian harbours

Mean everything to a sailor's soul

They still call me with my mother's song

Still revive old dreams

Oh, if I could go towards Trogir1 with you

To hug bora wind in Makarska1 at night

And when klapa singing4 starts in Omiš1

Let singing together be heard: Marjan! Marjan!

[Chorus]

I dream on the open sea about all the

Dear dalmatian harbours

Far away and glowing stars

Lanterns of my heart.

Dear dalmatian harbours

Mean everything to a sailor's soul

They still call me with my mother's song

Still revive old dreams

Don't talk to me about Mallorca as I sing of Hvar5

I dream about Vela Luka6 at sea as well as dryland.

Oh, if I could go with you to every cove,

To sing together: Marjan! Marjan!

[Chorus]

I dream on the open sea about all the

Dear dalmatian harbours

Far away and glowing stars

Lanterns of my heart.

Dear dalmatian harbours

Mean everything to a sailor's soul

They still call me with my mother's song

Still revive old dreams
