English translation:
The Klapa Is Singing Under The Vault

The klapa* is singing sotto voce in the wee summer night hours
And passes under the stairs where your laundry is hanging
Words are flying towards the pergola balcony
The full Moon is smiling to the city
You're rising from your bed to listen to the serenade

From your window you can see Šolta**
The klapa is singing under the vault
Far out the fishing boats have lit their lamps,
The klapa is singing sotto voce
You're looking around the room, the photo is on the night stand
Of the one taken by the sea in a faraway stormy wind

The port has become deserted, all the city gates have been shut.
The klapa is singing under the vault, your bed sheets smell good
You're quietly opening the curtains, you're ripe as summer fruit
About love and wine the klapa is singing 'under the voice'

From your window you can see Šolta
The klapa is singing under the vault
Far out you can see the lights of the fishing boats,
The klapa is singing sotto voce

Nobody will castigate you if you take off your black mourning clothes
Why would mourning make you all wrinkled when you can still show off beauty

From your window you can see Šolta
The light is blinking under the vault
When it's half past midnight
The klapa is singing 'under the voice'

* The klapa music is a form of traditional a cappella singing in Dalmatia, Croatia. The word klapa translates as "a group of friends" and traces its roots to littoral church singing.
** Šolta [pron. Sholta] is an island in Croatia
