OriginalEnglish version
EL KOLO GO BALÀI DANCED THE KOLO
El kolo go balà
La zo a Meleda
La mia man ne la man
Picia de Breda
Che mai se ga stancà
Nel portar s’ciopo
Vecio d’Aiduco
Longo la Neretva
Rossa de sangue
Come la bandiera
Che sventola sta notte
In mezzo al kolo
Piena de fame
Come tutti voi
Partigiani strazzai
I danced the kolo
down there in Meleda:
my hand in hand
little girl from Breda,
that she never got tired of
to carry the musket
old man from Aiduco,
along the Neretva
red with blood
like the waving flag
tonight in the middle of the kolo,
full of hunger like all of you,
ragged partisans.
Fermite Morte
Sentite riposa
A l'alba a sorte
I mitra te dirà
Se Vlado o Jure
Con ti se sposerà
Stop Death,
sit down, rest:
at dawn
the machine guns will tell you
whether Vlado or Jure
they will marry you.
Gospoda Morte
Sentite e riposa
Ecco rakija
Bevila a gogò
e vardili a ballar
Amica mia
Lady Death,
sit down and rest.
Here's the grappa,
drink it galore.
And watch them dance,
my friend.
