Uzmi ovaj dar [English translation]

Take this gift that I have been saving

For some spokesman, or a general,

For someone who deserved some good thing,

A progress, freedom, or a grand idea.

Take this gift that I have been saving

For someone who has been spiting

Every despotism, fascism, communism.

Take this gift.

All this time you have remained a child,

Innocent and pure to the core.

And who in this world has seen a child capable of hating?

All this time you have remained a child,

Innocent and pure to the core,

That holds onto love like to a mother's skirt.

Take this gift that I have been saving

For all my loves,

For all who are alive and for all who are dead.

Real love - that's a gift,

Blue sky - that's a gift,

Fatherland - that's a gift,

Sun shining - that's a gift,

Healthy children - that's a gift,

Clear river - that's a gift,

Poetry - that's a gift,

Everything in its place - that's a gift,

Good book - that's a gift,

Nice song - that's a gift.

All this time you have remained a child,

Innocent and pure to the core.

And who in this world has seen a child capable of hating?

All this time you have remained a child,

Innocent and pure to the core,

That holds onto love like to a mother's skirt.
