High Hopes [Croatian [Chakavian dialect] translation]

Monday morning

runs to Sunday night

screaming slow me down

before the new year dies;

well, it won't take much

to kill a lovin' smile

and every mother with a baby

crying in her arms, singin':

[Chorus:]

Give me help! Give me strength!

Give a soul a night of fearless sleep!

Give me love! Give me peace!

Don't you know these days you pay for everything!

Got high hopes!

I got high hopes! Χ3

Coming from the city,

coming from the wild

I see a breathless army

breaking like a cloud,

they're gonna smother love,

they're gonna shoot your hopes,

before the meek inherit

they'll learn to hate themselves

(chorus)X2

Tell me someone now

what's the price,

I wanna buy some time

and maybe live my life,

I wanna have a wife,

I wanna have some kids,

I wanna look in their eyes

and know they'll stand a chance

(chorus)

Got high hopes!

I got high hopes! Χ3
