Strofa 1)
Stanza 1)
Daleko sam od rodnoga praga gde me čeka moja
I am far from my native doorstep, where my
majka draga
dear mother awaits me.
Misli su moje tamo kraj ognjišta
My thoughts are there, by the hearth.
Bez rodnoga kraja ja nemam ništa.
Without my native land, I have nothing.
(Refren) · Chorus
Božić je, Božić je, pucaju prangije
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, firecrackers are going off
I cesnicu baka sprema, a mene tamo nema.
And grandma is preparing the česnica, but I am not there.
Božić je, Božić je, pucaju prangije
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, firecrackers are going off
I cesnicu baka sprema, a mene tamo nema.
And grandma is preparing the česnica, but I am not there.
(Strofa 2) · Stanza 2
Zasijaće sunce iznad moga sela radosna će biti
The sun will shine above my village, the whole family will be
porodica cela Vratiću se kući kad godina mine da mi
joyful. I will return home when the year passes, so my
majka kaže dobro došao sine
mother can say 'welcome, my son'.
(Refren) · Chorus
Božić je, Božić je, pucaju prangije
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, firecrackers are going off
I cesnicu baka sprema, a mene tamo nema.
And grandma is preparing the česnica, but I am not there.
Božić je, Božić je, pucaju prangije
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, firecrackers are going off
I cesnicu baka sprema, a mene tamo nema.
And grandma is preparing the česnica, but I am not there.
(Strofa 3) · Stanza 3
Kad bi moglo vreme da se vrati
If only time could be turned back
Da se moja stara majka ne pati
So my old mother wouldn't suffer
Da proslavim Božić u svom rodnom kraju
To celebrate Christmas in my native land
Gde me svi po dobru i po pesmi znaju.
Where everyone knows me for my goodness and my songs.
(Refren) · Chorus
Božić je, Božić je, pucaju prangije
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, firecrackers are going off
I cesnicu baka sprema, a mene tamo nema.
And grandma is preparing the česnica, but I am not there.
Božić je, Božić je, pucaju prangije
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, firecrackers are going off
I cesnicu baka sprema, a mene tamo nema.
And grandma is preparing the česnica, but I am not there.
Lines explained
“I cesnicu baka sprema, a mene tamo nema.”
And grandma is preparing the česnica, but I am not there.
Česnica is a traditional Serbian Christmas bread, often with a coin baked inside for good luck. Its preparation by the grandmother highlights a cherished family tradition the singer is missing.
“majka kaže dobro došao sine”
mother can say 'welcome, my son'.
The phrase 'dobro došao sine' (welcome, my son) is a deeply emotional and personal greeting, emphasizing the mother's love and the son's longing for her acceptance and presence.
“Da se moja stara majka ne pati”
So my old mother wouldn't suffer
This line expresses the singer's regret and desire to alleviate his mother's suffering, implying that his absence causes her pain.
