JUR VECERNJICA GORI                     YET EVENING STAR SHINES

Jur * vecernjica * gori.                As evening star shines
Ko zlatni kalen *                       As a golden ??
na nebeski dvori.                       On the heaven's doors.

Jur vecernjica sjala                    As evening star shined
Blagoslov zadnji                        The last blessing
majka meni dala.                        My mother gave me.

O, spominjem se                         Oh, I remember
te mile moje majke                      my beloved mother
i djetinjstva mi                        And my infancy
kano slatke bajke.                      As a sweet fable.

I njeno crno                            And her black
suzilo joj oko.                         limited her eye.
Ti u svijet bijeli                      In white world
odlazis moj soko!                       You go my falcon!

Odi, al' znaj,                          You go, but you know.
vecernja * kad zvoni                    When evening bells toll
da tvoja majka                          That your mother
zate suze roni *.                       cries still for you

O, spominjem se                         Oh, I remember
te mile moje majke                      my beloved mother
i djetinjstva mi                        And my infancy
kano slatke bajke.                      As a sweet fable.
