Lyrics:

"St. John's Day"

Welcome Baptizer,
you come once a year,
you come down from the clouds and make us sad,
a flock gathered in the largest host room,
brothers, sisters, parents, godparents,
prepared the biggest lunch, the bell tower is ringing,
and you sent bishop Stephen,
to dew us with a rose

We are calm, kind, we recognize you in him,
we kiss his hands, and we think
that he deserves more than we give him

1940 passes, John, passes,
the memory of your warmth is smoldering,
on the Christmas cicvara, and the ceremonial spoon,
oh, how nice it is to believe that the flock will flew away again



Serbian latin:

"Jovanjdan"

Dobro došao krstitelju,
jednom godišnje dođeš,
siđeš iz oblaka pa nas rastužiš,
sjatilo se jato u najveću sobu domaćinsku,
braća, sestre, roditelji, kumovi,
spremili najveći ručak, zvonik otkucava,
a ti poslao episkopa Stefana,
da nas orosi ružicom

Mi mirni, umiljati, tebe u njemu prepoznajemo,
ljubimo mu ruke, i sve mislimo
da više zaslužuje nego što ga darujemo

Minu 1940, Jovane, minu,
tinja sećanje na tvoju toplinu,
na Božićnu cicvaru, i žlicu obrednicu,
o kako je lepo verovati da će jato ponovo poleteti
