Što te nema [English translation]

Why aren't you here, why aren't you here?

When the fresh wild flowers are

Sprinkled with pearls by the silent moon,

My chest soars with need(want),

Why aren't you here, why aren't you here?

When the dreams pull me into serenity,

And my soul prepares for peace,

My heart hears a sneaky voice,

Why aren't you here, why aren't you here?

Every trail (in the woods) has blossomed,

Like it was on lovely days,

Even now on the roses it sprays,

The clear water of the fountains.

Beneath it's dew the hyacinth watches,

From the blossoms the smell flutters,

And for me it feels like whimpering,

And in agony the tears are pouring.

Why aren't you here, why aren't you here?

When the bright west reddens (when the sun rises),

Like a flicker of a diamond,

And then the heart's song awakens,

Why aren't you here, why aren't you here?

Even in the moment of pure happiness,

Or even when the sorrow takes a breath (rests),

My love starts the song,

Why aren't you here, why aren't you here?

Oh how miserable my heart is,

Like someone is stabbing it,

And it only cries and asks:

Where has my love gone?

Is the early morning sinful,

Or the heavenly shining star?

Is my love sinful,

Like the chirping of a bird (in it's nest)?
