Hodi, mila, hodi va naš orsag stati;

hodi, mila, hodi va naš orsag stati.

 Come, sweetheart, come live in our country;

come, sweetheart, come live in our country.
Va naši orsagi snigi ne padaju;

va naši orsagi snigi ne padaju.

 In our country the snow does not fall;

in our country the snow does not fall.
Nego negda, negda tihe godinice;

nego negda, negda tihe godinice.

 But sometimes, sometimes it rains lightly;

but sometimes, sometimes it rains lightly.
Tihe godinice, hladne vode curu;

tihe godinice, hladne vode curu.

 A light rain, cool water flows;

a light rain, cool water flows.
Hladne vode curu, da se ne pomuru;

hladne vode curu, da se ne pomuru.

 Cool water flows, that does not make mud;

Cool water flows, that does not make mud.
Da se ne pomuru, da ti dobre budu;

da se ne pomuru, da ti dobre budu.

 That does not make mud, so that you stay well

that does not make mud, so that you stay well.
