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
