Kiša pada, trava raste, gora zeleni
Kiša pada, trava raste, gora zeleni.
U toj gori raste drvo tanko visoko
U toj gori raste drvo tanko visoko.
Pod njim sedi moja seja, a ja pored nje
Pod njim sedi moja seja, a ja pored nje.
It's raining, grass is growing, forest is turning green,
It's raining, grass is growing, forest is turning green.
In the forest, a tree is growing, slim and tall,
In the forest, a tree is growing, slim and tall.
Under the tree my sister is sitting, I am beside her,
Under the tree my sister is sitting, I am beside her.
