Lyrics:
Ne silazi sa cardaka
i ne pitaj gdje sam bio
zasto su mi oci placne
zbog cega sam suze lio
Stajao sam kraj mezarai umrlu majku zvao
nosio joj dar od srca
ali joj ga nisam dao

Refrain
Ne klepeci nanulama
kad silazis sa cardaka
sve pomislim moja draga
da silazi stara majka

English translation of Ne klepeci nanulama
Don't come down from the stabbur
And don't ask where I was
Why I've got teary eyes
Nor why I've shed tears

I stood next to her grave
And called for my mother who passed away
I brought her a gift from my heart
But I didn't give it to her
Refrain
Don't rattle with your wooden slippers
When you come down from the upper porch
I keep thinking, my dear
That my old mother is coming down the stairs

Dear Jim,
So glad to hear from you!
I'm doing well, just finishing one tour in Slovenia.
I'm looking forward to your 'merry men' next year.
I'm glad that you like the song so much, I hope I will see the choreography when we meet next year.
To answer your question, 'c' in 'ne klepeci' is pronounced 'tch'
Gabriela
