Balada o zelenom kralju [English translation]

Thin and luxuriously green

Turned to the open sea,

At all times like an eternal guard

A lonesome king on the slope.

I watched him grew

As he laughed at the winds

As he touched the skies with his crown

As he drank water from the rock.

Suddenly it turned red,

Like, like when dawn is being born

Later black dust

Flew towards the water.

He's gone, the green king,

My cypress, he's not here any more,

The wounded rock still remembers its companion,

Its memory will be washed away by the rains.

The seagull screamed -pain,

When the flame bursted,

Instead of the green king

Now it's just - black rocks.

Waves crash against the rock

Quietly, quietly, more and more quiet

They beckon the green king

Well, he's no longer here.
