Trubaduri

Lyrics

Klapa Introduction
Daleko mi je biser Jadrana, Daleko mi je moj Dubrovnik

Verse 1A
There beyond the breakers and the dark affairs of state
Stands the city God has made of pearl from Heaven’s gate
And there he placed a treasure, the faithful and the free
The people of Dubrovnik, the masters of the sea
Verse 1B
And God sent down a soldier, a broadsword in his hand
A knight in shining armor, and gave him this command
Turn back every legion, every tyrant born of Hell
Stay until the final day, and guard my treasure well
Refrain 1
Like a White Knight, You stand forever true
Like a White Knight, God put His faith in you
(poput viteza)
Bridge 1
With your eyes on the horizon, and your hand upon your sword
For your people and their liberty, for your duty and your Lord
Chorus 1
You stand forever, You stand forever,
You stand on guard forever like a White Knight

Verse 2A
On guard throughout the ages, against the tides of war
Prepared for any peril to the pearl upon your shore
No, none dared test your mettle, none cared to taste your steel
For no man stood the measure of your heavenly ideal
Verse 2B
But you welcomed every traveler, Every peaceful, godly man
Every soldier, every sailor, from every distant land
And you let them hold the treasure, let them wear His precious pearl
The crown of all creation, the jewel of all the world
Refrain 2
Like a White Knight, The legend of the land
Like a White Knight, So strong you always stand
(bijelog viteza)
Bridge 2
Like a high, majestic mountain (You stand) Like the sky above the sea (You stand)
Like Orion in the winter night (You stand) Like the Cross of Calvary (You stand)
Chorus 2
You stand forever, You stand forever, You stand on guard forever like a White Knight

Chant
Far away from me - is the Pearl of the Adriatic (Daleko)
Far away from me - is my Dubrovnik
(Daleko - je moj Dubrovnik)

Verse 3A
I will tell my sons the story, of the lone, courageous knight
I will sing to them the glory of his one heroic fight
The noble, stone-white soldier, the keeper of the crown
Against the jealous bastard who tried to strike him down
Verse 3B
When the Devil sent his general, his Judas to attack
He embraced you like a brother and he stabbed you in the back
Oh, all the world looked on in horror as he reveled in his sin
Far away I cried, Oh no! Oh God! - don’t let the Devil win
Bridge 3
But you held the field of honor, though his arrows pierced your shield
And his cannons cracked your armor, and still you would not yield
For the pride of all Croatia, The bravest knight of all
(Hrabrost viteza
The Champion of Dalmatia, Will never, never fall
Dubrovnik, Pobjeda)
Chorus 3A
You stand forever, You stand forever, You stand forever, You stand forever
(Dubrovnik)
You stand forever, You stand forever, You stand forever, You stand forever
(Lijepa naša domovino, zauvijek stojiš)
Chorus 3B
You stand, You stand, You stand, You stand (Dubrovnik)
We stand, We stand, We stand, We stand (Libertas)
Chorus 3C
//: We stand together, We stand together
We stand on guard forever with the White Knight ://
Chorus 3D
We stand together, We stand together
(Oh yes we stand, we stand together)
We stand on guard forever with the White Knight
(Oh yes we stand on guard forever with the White Knight)
We stand together, We stand together
(We stand, we stand together)
We stand on guard forever with the White Knight
We stand on guard forever with the White Knight
