Zašto lažu nam u lice [English translation]

When my brother drops in home

From the distant wide world

In his eye is a shadow of an old man

And he is just thirty

Mother always asks about all kinds of things

And he, as if he's hiding something

Each time he talks less

He talks less, drinks more and more

Why do they lie in our face

Our fields are crying

Why is it that when dawn arises

My brother must go to the world again?

Nothing new happens with us ever

And brother keeps talking the same

You see, he says, all this is

Painted by God's hand

His each word stabs the heart

He looks at me, lowers the head

Each time is harder for him to leave

And easier to cry a tear

Why do they lie in our face

Our fields are crying

Why is it that when dawn arises

My brother must go to the world again?

So our well doesn't dry

So our house wouldn't crumble down

So our boat doesn't sink

While our field brings crops for someone else

I pray every day

For the shining star of the north

To show the ways through the night

So those who travel wouldn't wonder

Those leaving should remember

Their home
