VOZILA SE BARKA MALA                    A LITTLE BOAT HAS BEEN SAILING

Vozila se barka mala,                   A little boat has been sailing
vozila se pokraj rive.                  sailing by the waterfront.
A sa rive, a sa rive                    From the waterfront, from the waterfront
Doziva Maru Mile:                       Mile's crying to Mare:

"Barka je malena,                       "The boat is too small,
vozit se ne moze!                       it can't float no more!
Oj Maro, Marice,                        Oh, Mare *, Marica *,
utopit ces se!"                         you shall get drowned now!"

Proslo lito, a i zima,                  Summer passed by, and the winter too,
vise lipe Mare nima.                    Beautiful Mare has gone.
Utopila se Marica,                      Marica did get drowned,
jadna cura nesritnica.                  unfortunate, unlucky girl.

Stavit cu spomen-cvit,                  I'll put memorial-bloom
nek znade cili svit                     let all the world know
di se utopila                           where did get drowned
nesritna Marica.                        unlucky Marica.

                                        * Mare, Marica = Mary
