Marinko Rokvic - Snegovi beli opet veju

Can someone translate this nice narodna song?

Listam stranice proslosti svoje
pa se setim one hladne zime.
Kad pod ruku setasmo u dvoje
i po snegu pisah ime tvoje.

Ref.
Snegovi beli opet veju
vetar s planine oluju sprema,
srecni se ljudi ulicom smeju
al tvoje ruke pod mojom nema.


Otisla si u prolece rano,
sa mirisom prvih ljubicica.
Drhtala si u narucju mome,
jos se secam uplakanog lica.

Ulicom idem zamisljen i sam
dok se vetar u granama smeje
gdje si sada sto mi se ne javis
da li drugi tvoje ruke greje

Hvala

OK, I try to translate myself... but it's not perfect.
If someone has courage to correct me...Thanks a lot

Listam stranice proslosti svoje
pa se setim one hladne zime.
Kad pod ruku setasmo u dvoje
i po snegu pisah ime tvoje.

I have a glance on the pages of the past
and I remember one cold winter
When we walk hand in hand together
and with the snow I wrote your name

Ref.
Snegovi beli opet veju
vetar s planine oluju sprema,
srecni se ljudi ulicom smeju
al tvoje ruke pod mojom nema.

White snows again ???
Wind in the mountains prepare a storm
People happy in the street smile
but your hands are not in mine.


Otisla si u prolece rano,
sa mirisom prvih ljubicica.
Drhtala si u narucju mome,
jos se secam uplakanog lica.

Spring is gone early
with perfumes of the first violet
XXX within mine
and I remember more of your crying face

Ulicom idem zamisljen i sam
dok se vetar u granama smeje
gdje si sada sto mi se ne javis
da li drugi tvoje ruke greje

I go through the street and I imagine myself
while the wind blows (??) in the branches
where are you now that you don’t mind (???? )
and that an other one warms your hands

Sorry Sasskia but your translation made little sense in some parts, so I'll correct you if I may...

Listam stranice proslosti svoje
pa se setim one hladne zime.
Kad pod ruku setasmo u dvoje
i po snegu pisah ime tvoje.

I'm listing the pages of my past
and I remember that cold winter
When we walked together, hand in hand
and in the snow I wrote your name

Ref.
Snegovi beli opet veju
vetar s planine oluju sprema,
srecni se ljudi ulicom smeju
al tvoje ruke pod mojom nema.

White snow snows again
The wind from the mountains are preparing a storm
People in the street smile, gayfully
but your hands are not in mine.


Otisla si u prolece rano,
sa mirisom prvih ljubicica.
Drhtala si u narucju mome,
jos se secam uplakanog lica.

You left early in the spring
with the smells of the first violet
you shiver within my arms
I still remember that tearful face

Ulicom idem zamisljen i sam
dok se vetar u granama smeje
gdje si sada sto mi se ne javis
da li drugi tvoje ruke greje

I walk through the street, dreaming and alone
while the wind laughs in the branches
where are you? why don't you contact me?
is someone else warming your hands?

Maybe "white snow is falling heavily again" instead of "White snow snows again"

Thank you for your corrections Pyromaniac and Spring

“Otisla si u prolece rano” = You left early in the spring
and of course not “Spring is gone early”
GRRRRRR . Why this fault? I have to be more careful with grammar…

Some verbs I don’t know and don’t find in dictionary :

Snegovi “veju”=: snows are falling. What is the infinitive form?
and “Drhtala si» : same question

Hvala puno

OK. Thank you... You have so many specific terms in Serbian language to express winter and snow...

Yeah I guess so

Znam...

already seen in the following translation "Hajdemo dalje moja tugo" from Sinan Sakic...
"...zavajanom stazom vode
on a snow covered path"


and also :
prtina = staza covered with snow...

prtina = staza covered with snow...

Prtina is more a path in the snow, made in the snow.... Not always a path which is covered with snow... Hope u understand me

Here is picture of prtina to ilistrate
