Lyrics
Lyrics:
Nekad davno na ličkome prelu
Na ličkome prelu
Ja se ludo zaljubi' u Jelu
Zaljubi' u Jelu
Nema Like ni ličkoga prela
Ni ličkoga prela
Za drugoga udala se Jela
Udala se Jela
Na šporetu žuta pura kvrca
Žuta pura kvrca
Savila se tuga oko srca
Tuga oko srca
Varenika kinula po ploči
Kinula po ploči
Nema Jele, za njom plaču oči
Za njom plaču oči
Na srcu se namnožile rane
Namnožile rane
Čekam zoru, neće da mi svane
Neće da mi svane
Ja sam Jelu tri godine ček'o
Tri godine ček'o
Vrag joj sreću odnio daleko
Odnio daleko
Odе Jela i ostavi mene
I ostavi mеne
Ostale su samo uspomene
Samo uspomene
Drugom Jela rodila je sina
Rodila je sina
Al' još pamti kršnog Ličanina
Kršnog Ličanina

Lyrics (English):
Once upon a time, at a Lika prelo
At a Lika prelo
I fell madly in love with Jela
Fell in love with Jela
There is no more Lika, no more Lika prelo
No more Lika prelo
Jela married someone else
Married someone else
On the stove, a yellow turkey sizzles
A yellow turkey sizzles
Sorrow has wrapped itself around my heart
Sorrow around my heart
Sour milk spilled across the floor
Spilled across the floor
There is no Jela, my eyes cry for her
My eyes cry for her
Wounds have multiplied on my heart
Multiplied on my heart
I wait for dawn, but it won't break for me
It won't break for me
I waited for Jela for three years
Waited for three years
The devil took her happiness far away
Took it far away.
Jela left and abandoned me
And abandoned me
Only memories remain
Only memories
Jela born another man a son
Born him a son
But she still remembers the sturdy Ličanin
The sturdy Ličanin
