Kao sto kaze Marija Juric Zagorka [English translation]

As Marija Jurić Zagorka1 says

There are ever more arguments

In the castle of our kings

When night falls

I'll come to you through Kaptol2

Put on your brocade dress

And throw on your velvet cape

We'll run away beneath the city walls

Be my Gordana3

I allow my dreams to fool me

I take a tram to the final stop

I must go further alone, I must go by foot

The suburbs are far away

The snow creaks beneath my feet

As I drag myself with wet shoes

As though you're there, I whisper in the dark

Be my destiny
