Geljan dade [English translation]

I ask my mother,

Why is she crying

With whom I give?? every day

But she curses

She curses

Why don't you come home?

With my sisters she struggles

Why doesn't she sleep at night

Chorus:

You went, o father, far away

You left us

Us young ones, to grow up

Without knowing you

You went, o father, far away

You left us,

To grow up without you

Without knowing you

From America

Your friend came.

I asked him, o father

Whether you'll come home

He said to me

You cannot come back

'cause you are very sick

And I'm very sad

Chorus.

You left healthy

Stronger than all men

But now you're sick

And you lost your leg.

I look at your picture

And cry to you

You and me, o father

Look alike so much...

Chorus
