STANO GERŽELJ – OUR VRTOVIN

As the sower would sow them
are the villages sowed
from the road, to Čaven slope
are their names known to us.

Guli, Čebuli, Garželi, Guštini,
Jama in Feuči, Šateji, Subani,
and, if my memory now wanes not,
Lozarji, Krti, Rebki, Črmeli
and even Kocjani, is our Vrtovin.

Vrtovin, you little villages of ours,
we do not give you for all the money,
here is our home and our happiness,
as in the golden temple, the altar is.

Our fields are cultivated,
we are hard-working people,
our life, our dreams,
from day to day, only hope.

Hope, only hope.
With no hope there is no life,
that is what we wish for us,
that we all would be happy.
