Slovenian - Domovina

Looking for a close translation to English....thanks.

Domovina

Žalost mene, premaguje
ker zapustil bom svoj dom
šel bom daleč v kraje tuje
več nazaj, prišel nebom

Domovina, Domovina
zbogom zbogom, zadnji krat
bog v k'tera, bo ravnina
grob dajala, mi enkrat.

Starši ostanite zdravi
spomnite, se kaj na me
saj na vas, bo tu v daljavi
moje misli na srce

Domovina, Domovina…

Zvezde ki ste, mi blescale
ko sem srecen vasoval
ve me boste spremljevale
ko v tuji ni bom samval.

Domovina, Domovina…

Hey! I'm learning Slovenian at the moment and I can say I understand almost the whole text, so I'll try now but I'll also tell SuperGirl that there's a Slovenian request here cuz she translates from Slovenian


Domovina
My country/my land

Žalost mene, premaguje
Sadness is overwhelming me
ker zapustil bom svoj dom
cuz I'm gonna leave my home
šel bom daleč v kraje tuje
I'm gonna go far away, in a foreign place/land
več nazaj, prišel nebom
I won't come back anymore.

Domovina, Domovina
My land,my land
zbogom zbogom, zadnji krat
farewell,farewell for last time
bog v k'tera, bo ravnina
grob dajala, mi enkrat.--> here I'm not so sure but mentions a grave

Starši ostanite zdravi
Mum& Dad, keep healthy/keep being well
spomnite, se kaj na me
keep the memory of me (some kinda)
saj na vas, bo tu v daljavi
cause here,far away
moje misli na srce
the thoughts in my heart are for u

Domovina, Domovina…
My land,my land

Zvezde ki ste, mi blescale
Stars, which have shone on me
ko sem srecen vasoval
here I'm not sure
ve me boste spremljevale
u'll watch over me
ko v tuji ni bom samval.
when ,being abroad,i won't see the morning (not sure)

Domovina, Domovina…
My land, my land...

tedinkyyy, it's almost right! I hope you don't mind I corrected some points, but your Slovene is great

Domovina
Homeland

Žalost mene, premaguje
Sadness is defeating me
ker zapustil bom svoj dom
Because I'm going to leave my home
šel bom daleč v kraje tuje
I'm going far away to places foreign
več nazaj, prišel nebom
I'm not going to come back again

Domovina, Domovina
Homeland, Homeland
zbogom zbogom, zadnji krat
goodbye, goodbye for the last time
bog ve k'tera, bo ravnina
God knows which field
grob dajala, mi enkrat.
will give me a grave once
Starši ostanite zdravi
Parents, remain healthy
spomnite, se kaj na me
remember me sometimes
saj na vas, bo tu v daljavi
because of you, here in the distance
moje mislilo srce
my heart will think.


Domovina, Domovina…
Homeland, Homeland

Zvezde ki ste, mi blescale
You stars that shone for me
ko sem srecen vasoval
when I was happy flirting*
ve me boste spremljevale
you will accompany me
ko v tujini bom samval.
when I will be alone in a foreign land
Domovina, Domovina…
Homeland, Homeland

* vasovanje... this is hard to explain, it's like a village "ritual"... basically teenage boys (18 of age) go sing and charm girls under their windows at night It's not common anymore, except in really traditional places.

Hope you don't mind me posting late, I just love translating

Thanks very much and Happy New Year!
Hvala
Novo Letno
