Picaferaj [English translation]

When the last ray of sunlight

Goes weary behind Marjan1

Through the Cross street downtown

The lamplighter goes to the boardwalk

He carries ladders on his back

So he can light the lanterns

Old yellow shoes clack

That once shined for the dance

Easy, in a soft voice

He sings about a man from an island

He finished his work

Boardwalk shined

It lit up all of it

In a thousand colors

Like the youth that passed

And old age is in a hurry

He goes home content

Drags one leg after the other

His old bones squeak painfully

Because it's a long way home.
