SILK UMBRELLA POLKA

 

You and I, we have a Silk Umbrella

(Jaz pa ti, pa zidana marela)
You and I, we're both a little mellow

(Jaz pa ti, ova sva obnorela)
Yes we are, we're both a little mellow

(Pa res, pa res, ova sva obnorela)
You and I, forget that parasol!

(Jaz pa ti, pustiva parazol!)
Rom, pom, pom, oh what great fun we had
Rom, pom, pom, now it's time to go home
Rom, pom, pom, just one more little drink
Rom, pom, pom, Zivijo!
