World

How nice is

this world around, -

here's a meadow,[2][3]

flowers abound;[3]

there's a field,[3]

and there a glade;[3]

there is sun,

and here a shade;

There is Danube

with gold laden,

there is grass,

and here a garden.[4]

A nightingale[1]

sings its tune.[5]

Here's my heart,

and here are you.

World

What a sight

This world so bright!

The flower smells,

With all its might,

There's a field,

And here a glade,

Here's the sun,

And there's the shade!

There's the Danube,

Full of gold,

And there a fish

With colours bold,

A bird is singing

his love to send,

Here I'm listening

With my friend.

(translated by Pavle Ninković)

Svet

Ala j' lep

Ovaj svet,

Onde potok,

Ovde cvet,

Tamo njiva,

Ovde sad,

Evo sunce,

Evo hlad!

Tamo Dunav,

Zlata pun,

Onde trava,

Ovde zbun,

Slavuj pesmom[1]

Ljulja lug,

Ja ga slusam

I moj drug.
