The Translation of the song in the text:

If I remember, I start to cry
The memories start to smell
Each piece of the home
And the folk customs

I recognized your beauty
my love wakes up
When I'm with you
my heart Beats bigger, it is great

Oh you Zagorje're beautiful
Slavonia, you are Golden
Herceg-Bosna, a proud heart,
Dalmatia, my sea
A soul (are) we both
greetings to Lika, Velebit, my Pride
Beautiful you

If the Neretva
flows into the sea, you Remember of me
the theme of my song
For all those who are no longer with us hoist

Los Istria and Zagorje
We have all three colors
We hug in front of all
So you can see that we are

Ex-Schalke-Trainer arbitrator shall, in Russia, PCP, Ex-Schalke have slapped coach should have slapped a referee in Russia
