VOZILA SE BARKA MALA	A LITTLE BOAT WAS SAILING

Vozila se barka mala,	A little boat was sailing,
vozila se pokraj rive.	sailing along the waterfront.
A sa rive, a sa rive	And from the shore, from the shore,
Doziva Maru Mile:	Mile calls out to Mare¹:

"Barka je malena,	"The boat is so small,
vozit se ne može!	it cannot be sailed!"
Oj Maro, Marice,	Oh Mare, Marica¹,
utopit ćeš se!"	you will drown!"

Prošlo lito, a i zima,	Summer passed, and winter too,
više lipe Mare nima.	the fair Mare is no more.
Utopila se Marica,	Marica has drowned,
jadna cura nesritnica.	a poor, unfortunate girl.

Stavit ću spomen-cvit,	I will place a memorial flower,
nek znade cili svit	so the whole world may know
di se utopila	where she drowned,
nesritna Marica.	unfortunate Marica.

	¹Mare, Marica = Mary
