BRODOVI
(written by Mario Nardelli - Croatia)
Vice Vukov - 1963


U mome kraju brodovi su ljudi
Oni plaèu, smiju se i vole
U mome kraju brodovi su
sveèanost
I najdraže igraèke nestašnih
djeèaka

Brodovi
Bez vas tužne su luke sve,
Bez vas puste su rive te
Bez vas galebi mru

Dok mjesec kosi noæ
Na pramcu stiha svog
Ja palim sreæe zar
Za puteve vaše

Brodovi
Na vas èekaju ljubavi,
Na vas èekaju prozori
Bez vas gitare mru

Dok zora pali dan
Na jarbol stiha svog
Ja dižem pjesmu tu
Za povratke vaše

Dok zora pali dan
Na jarbol stiha svog
Ja dižem pjesmu tu
Za povratke vaše

O, igraèke drage
Iz djetinjstva mog


SHIPS

In my neighborhood, ships are
like
people
They cry, smile and love
In my neighborhood, ships are

celebrities
And dearest toys of menacing
boys

Ships
Without you, all ports are
sad
Without you, rivieras are
desterted
Without you, seagulls die

While the Moon cuts the night

On the stem of its verse
I ignite the fire of luck
For your journeys

Ships
Loves await you
Windows await you
Without you, guitars die

While dawn ignites day
On the mast of your verse
I raise this song
For your return

While dawn ignites day
On the mast of your verse
I raise this song
For your return

O, dear toys
From my childhood
