Tamo Gdje Su Moji Korijeni
Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A jutro mi nosi miris milja gorskoga,
Pa se sjetim zlatnih suza punog vremena
Bio sam k′o divlji vjetar svih tih godina.
Kada čujem naše pjesme krv u meni vri
To je ljubav što u duši godinama zri,
I dok vrijeme ide tu sve jače pripadam
Bog će uvijek svakom dati
Samo treba vjerovati,
Biti Božjeg lica slika
Posijati gdje si nika.
Tamo gdje su moji korijeni
što ljepota živi u meni,
Tamo nosim svaku pobjedu
Svojoj zemlji, svome narodu.
Odvest ću te u davninu moje radosti
Od izvora sreće pokraj rijeke mladosti,
Nek' nas nebo blagoslovi snove ostvari
I sinove sokolove da nam podari.
Tamo gdje su moji korijeni
što ljepota živi u meni,
Tamo nosim svaku pobjedu
Svojoj zemlji, svome narodu,
Svojoj zemlji, svome narodu.
Svojoj zemlji, svome narodu,
Svojoj zemlji, svome narodu.
Nosim svaku pobjedu.

Podiglo se sunce i toplinu prosipa
The sun has risen and is spreading warmth
A jutro mi nosi miris milja gorskoga,
The morning brings me the scent of a mountain breeze
Pa se sjetim zlatnih suza punog vremena
Then I remember the golden tears of the old times
Bio sam k′o divlji vjetar svih tih godina.
I was like a wild wind during all those years
Kada čujem naše pjesme krv u meni vri
When I hear our songs, my blood boils
To je ljubav što u duši godinama zri,
It is love that matures in the soul over the years
I dok vrijeme ide tu sve jače pripadam
As time passes, I belong more and more
Neću svoje lice kriti samo jedno znam.
I won't hide my face, I only know one thing.
Bog će uvijek svakom dati
God will always give to everyone
Samo treba vjerovati,
You just need to believe
Biti Božjeg lica slika
To be an image of God's face
Posijati gdje si nika.
To sow where you are planted.
Tamo gdje su moji korijeni
Where my roots are
Što ljepota živi u meni,
Where beauty lives in me
Tamo nosim svaku pobjedu
There I carry every victory
Svojoj zemlji, svome narodu.
To my land, my people
Odvest ću te u davninu moje radosti
I will take you to the ancient times of my joy
Od izvora sreće pokraj rijeke mladosti,
From the source of happiness by the river of youth
Nek' nas nebo blagoslovi snove ostvari
Let the sky bless us and make our dreams come true
I sinove sokolove da nam podari.
And give us sons as strong as falcons.
Svojoj zemlji, svome narodu,
To my land, my people,
Svojoj zemlji, svome narodu.
To my land, my people.
Nosim svaku pobjedu.
I carry every victory.

Je, imas pravo. To sto covjek tuzi susjede iz zgrade da cijela zgrada dode u njegov posjed jer je napravio ugovor s nekim mutnim ljudima, a nema pravo na to imamo samo mi Hrvati. Blago nam se sto imamo takvo narodno blago kao sto je Tomson. Bratstvo i jedinstvo.
