Grdelin [English translation]

I am my father’s goldfinch

Fifth child, first son

He used to kiss me on the forehead

He baptized me with white wine

When he let me fly from his palm

I flew high

To a distant and alien world

I found a wife as beautiful as a flower

---Refrain---

May the deep sea dry out

I flew across it, it nearly suffocated me

And each time a wave hits me

My heart lets out a scream for her

Like an olive branch in a gust of bora

I can still hear my father’s words...

"My son" he said

"Life didn't end with her

You do not have a lot of time

Find yourself a wife from our land"

I proposed in spring

Got married in summer

By winter I was dried out

I did not love her at all

---Refrain---

She gave birth to two sons

Like two beautiful falcons

And I worked as hard as a worm

As for my children, my bloodline

I remember her last words

"God is calling me, I must go"

And she let out three tears

For the three birds she loved

---Refrain---

I am my father’s goldfinch
