Lyrics (ENG)

The prelo ends at midnight
My sweetheart and I stay until dawn

I came home, my mother yelled at me
Where have you been, it's already morning!

Don't be angry, my dear mother
I was with my dear at the prelo

Dane came with tamburica
We stayed there until dawn

Lyrics (SRB)

U ponoći, u ponoći rastaju se prela
Ja i mali kad i zora bijela

Kući dođoh, karala me nana
Đe si, ćeri, đe si, ćeri, evo bijela dana

Ne karaj me, ne karaj me, moja majko mila
U prelu sam, u prelu sam ja sa dragim bila

Tamburicom došao je Dane
Prelilo se, prelilo se sve do zore rane
