NASLOV: VOLJENOME OCU JAKOVU

TITLE: TO BELOVED FATHER JAKOV

1. KITICA

1. VERSE

Na tvrdom kamenu, podno Velebita,

On hard stone, at the foot of Velebit,

u Bilenima rodila se duša ponosita.

in Bileni a proud soul was born.

Život te nije mazio od malih nogu,

Life didn't pamper you from a young age,

bez oca si rastao, uz vjeru u Boga.

you grew up without a father, with faith in God.

Radio si teško, znoj si prolijevao,

You worked hard, you shed sweat,

za svaki komad kruha pošteno se borio.

for every piece of bread you honestly fought.

Nisi imao puno, al' veliko srce,

You didn't have much, but a big heart,

sve što si stekao, stekao si od muke.

everything you gained, you gained through hardship.

REFREN

CHORUS

Oče Jakove, počivaj u miru,

Father Jakov, rest in peace,

nek' te anđeli čuvaju u nebeskom svemiru.

may angels guard you in the heavenly universe.

Tvoja dva sina i kći te nikad zaboravit neće,

Your two sons and daughter will never forget you,

u svakom našem srcu tvoje ime vječno cvjeta.

in every one of our hearts your name eternally blooms.

Oče Jakove, prerano si otišao,

Father Jakov, you left too soon,

al' u našim srcima zauvijek si ostao.

but in our hearts you have remained forever.

Nek' ti vječni mir obasja nebeski sjaj,

May eternal peace illuminate your heavenly glow,

Jablanac te čeka, tvoj vječni zavičaj.

Jablanac awaits you, your eternal homeland.

2. KITICA

2. VERSE

Dva sina i kćer ostavio si iza sebe,

You left two sons and a daughter behind,

u svakom od nas dio je tebe.

in each of us is a part of you.

Tvoje ruke vrijedne, tvoj ponos i čast,

Your diligent hands, your pride and honor,

nikada iz naših srca neće nestati tvoj glas.

your voice will never disappear from our hearts.

Sudbina te rano od nas odvela,

Fate took you from us early,

ostala je tuga što se riječima ne da reći.

a sadness remained that cannot be expressed in words.

Al' kad pogledamo Velebit i more,

But when we look at Velebit and the sea,

znamo da nas gledaš s nebeske obale.

we know you are watching us from the heavenly shore.

ZAVRŠNI REFREN

FINAL CHORUS

Oče Jakove, počivaj u miru,

Father Jakov, rest in peace,

nek' ti zvijezde svijetle u nebeskom svemiru.

may the stars shine for you in the heavenly universe.

Tvoja djeca nose te u srcu svom,

Your children carry you in their hearts,

dok god nas ima, živjet ćeš u domu tvom.

as long as we exist, you will live in your home.

Jablanac je tvoj, pod Velebitom san,

Jablanac is yours, a dream under Velebit,

tamo gdje si rođen, počiva tvoj mirni san.

where you were born, your peaceful dream rests.

Zbogom, naš oče, nek' ti laka zemlja bude,

Goodbye, our father, may the earth be light for you,

zauvijek te vole tvoji najmiliji ljudi.

your dearest people love you forever.

ZAUVIJEK TVOJA DJECA ❤️

FOREVER YOUR CHILDREN ❤️
