A white flower floats on the evening Danube
And the melody of the passed years requires the memory
But simple lyrics of our song faded away as flocks of birds
You leave in the fire, Yugoslavia!
Without me! Without me! Without me!
For the night in the rain of leads
For that I'm not by you
You, forgive me, my sister, Yugoslavia!
For the death in the spring rain
For that I wasn't helpful to you
You, forgive me, my sister, Yugoslavia!
You stand on the other shore as an black-eyed girl at a loss
But I never can get to that shore
A white flower floats on the evening Danube
And the melody of the passed years requires the memory
For the night in the rain of leads
For that I'm not by you
You, forgive me, my sister, Yugoslavia!
For the death in the spring rain
For that I wasn't helpful to you
You, forgive me, my sister, Yugoslavia!
I think this version is the most accurate:
A white flower floats on the evening Danube And the melody of the passed years requires the memory But simple lyrics of our song faded away as flocks of birds You leave in the fire, Yugoslavia! Without me! Without me! Without me!
For the night in the rain of leads For that I'm not by you You, forgive me, my sister, Yugoslavia! For the death in the spring rain For that I wasn't helpful to you You, forgive me, my sister, Yugoslavia!
You stand on the other shore as an black-eyed girl at a loss But I never can get to that shore A white flower floats on the evening Danube And the melody of the passed years requires the memory
For the night in the rain of leads For that I'm not by you You, forgive me, my sister, Yugoslavia! For the death in the spring rain For that I wasn't helpful to you You, forgive me, my sister, Yugoslavia!
