Ako si, ljubo, pošla spat
šta ćemo ja i ti
kao prvo vrata zaključati
kao drugo prozor zatvoriti
kao treće spustiti zavjese
ostat’ ćemo doma i ljubit’ se
ostat’ ćemo doma i ljubit’ se
Ako se sutra zarati
moja mala, šta ćemo ja i ti
vrata zaključati, prozore zatvoriti
spustiti zavjese
ostat’ ćemo kući i ljubit’ se
A kad pođe pucati
preko glave ćemo se pokriti
ispod male dekice
ja i ti i zvjezdice
grickat’ ćemo grožđe
čekat’ ćemo rat da prođe
Vodi me na ples
ćiribiribela moja mala
vodi me na ples
Ali ako odem ne zaboravi me
ćiribiribela, odoh u marine
Ona neće pit’ kafe
vengo čokoladu
ona misli sempjasta
da se soldi kradu
Biž’te mi vanka iz kuće
jer ću te broštulinom
ne sporkaj mi kuzine
jer cu te mazininom
English Translation
Chiribiribella
If, my love, you’re going to sleep
what are we gonna do
First of all, lock the door
Second, close the window
Third, put down the curtains
We will stay in and kiss…
We will stay in and kiss…
If a war starts tomorrow
My dear what are we gonna do
Lock the door
Close the windows
Put down the curtains
We will stay in and kiss
And when the shootings start
We’ll cover our heads
under little blanket
You and me and the little stars
We’ll eat grapes
we’ll wait for the war to be over
Take me dancing
Chiribiribella, my little one
Take me dancing
And if I leave, don’t forget me
Chiribiribella, I’m joining the marines
She wont drink coffee
Doesn’t want chocolate
She thinks cutely
that money gets stolen
Get out of my house
…
