Verse 1
Na surtse mi na surtse mi star merak lezhi
Na surtse mi na surtse mi star merak gori.
Dali ima dali ima negde po sveta
Dali ima dali ima lek za meraka.
Verse 1
There is a desire that burns my heart for a long time.
Is there anywhere in the world a remedy for desire?
Refrain:
Eh ljubov ljubov ljubov
Ot zvezdi osejana
Ot zvezdi osejana
I ot sluntse galena.
Refrain:
Oh, love, love, love
Studed with stars and caressed by sunshine.
Verse 2
Ja posloushaj mili sine stara si majka
Nigde neme nigde nema lek za meraka.
Ot merak se boledouva ne se umira
Dousha ke izleze sine merak ostava.
Verse 2
Listen to your old mother my son:
There is not anywhere a remedy for desire.
You only can suffer from desire, you won't die. Your soul might leave you, but your desire remains forever.
