HAD I WINGS/DAB BI IMAL PERJE
Am Am
Had I wings my darling,
A7 Dm
I would go a-flying.
Am Dm
*Ease my sorrows with your kisses
E E7 Am
In your arms a-lying. (*repeat)
I would fly, my mother,
Straightway at your bidding.
*I would still my torments with you,
Childhood days reliving.*
Would I had some dear one,
One to stand beside me**
*Friendless in a far-off country
Youth I've wasted roving.*
Come you little swallow,
Take my lonely message,
Fly across the mountains with it
To my native village.
If there's none to read it,
None to share my sorrow,
Loneliness shall be my portion,
Emptiness my morrow.

Dl bi imal perje
Kak le-te-tu f-tica
Sake vecher bi do-le-tel
K-tebi grilichizha
Da bi imal majku,
Koja me rodila
Sake vecher b-kynjoj ishel
Kaj be se spominal
Da bi imal dragu,
Ka bi me luj-bila,
Nej se moja lepa mla-dost
V stranj-skem zhalo-stila
Leti me ti f-tichek
Chrez visoke gore,
Odnesi mi zelen listek
V malo Medimorje.
Ali da ga ipak
Nemash komu dati
Nemam tu-zhen svoje tuje
Komu povedati.
