Welcome my friend
glad to see you
Zagorje offers its hand
Welcome to my home
and feel like in your own
Zagorje calls you again
I'll give my best help yourself now
let's try my bread and my wine
let's toast to friendship
that goes forever
drink 'till the end of all time
Yes, my house is very old now
but it's still the home for me
while my patchwork spies the centuries
keeping all the memories
All the memories
I'll give my best help yourself now
It's the land of merry people
for a friend we'll give our eye
land of heels and sleepy vineyards
and the sellers fool our eye

Welcome to my home
and feel like in your own
Zagorje calls you again
Welcome, welcome
