[Verse 1]

Sunce me budi, dan je nov

The sun wakes me, a new day

Sol na koži, to je moj dom

Salt on my skin, that is my home

Misli mi plove, lagani san

My thoughts drift, a light dream

Čekam taj ljetni, čarobni dan

I await that summer, magical day

[Chorus]

Tara, ljeto na moru sad

Tara, summer by the sea now

Valovi nose svaki jad

Waves carry every sorrow

Nema tu briga, samo smijeh

No worries there, only laughter

Srce se vraća, to je grijeh

My heart returns, that is a sin

[Verse 2]

Pjesak pod nogama, topao, fin

Sand underfoot, warm, fine

Miris borova, taj divni čin

Scent of pines, that wonderful act

Zvuk galebova, slobodan let

Sound of seagulls, free flight

Najljepše mjesto, cijeli moj svijet

The most beautiful place, my whole world

[Chorus]

Tara, ljeto na moru sad

Tara, summer by the sea now

Valovi nose svaki jad

Waves carry every sorrow

Nema tu briga, samo smijeh

No worries there, only laughter

Srce se vraća, to je grijeh

My heart returns, that is a sin

[Bridge]

I kad dani prođu svi

And when all the days pass

Uvijek ćeš se vratiti

You will always return

Dom te zove, more te zna

Home calls you, the sea knows you

[Chorus]

Tara, ljeto na moru sad

Tara, summer by the sea now

Valovi nose svaki jad

Waves carry every sorrow

Nema tu briga, samo smijeh

No worries there, only laughter

Srce se vraća, to je grijeh

My heart returns, that is a sin

Lines explained

“Srce se vraća, to je grijeh”

My heart returns, that is a sin

The phrase 'to je grijeh' (that is a sin) here likely expresses a feeling of irresistible pull or a guilty pleasure, as if returning to this beloved place is something she cannot help but do, even if it feels almost too good or forbidden to leave.

“Miris borova, taj divni čin”

Scent of pines, that wonderful act

'Taj divni čin' (that wonderful act) refers to the scent of pine trees, elevating a simple sensory experience to something profound and beautiful, almost like a sacred ritual.

“Dom te zove, more te zna”

Home calls you, the sea knows you

'Dom te zove, more te zna' (Home calls you, the sea knows you) personifies home and the sea, suggesting a deep, almost spiritual connection between the singer and this coastal place, implying it's an intrinsic part of her identity.
