Boris Martinovich - Pismo ćali / Ćale moj (Letter to Father / My Father) - Runjić, Zuppa

Bass-baritone Boris Martinovich sings Pismo ćali / Ćale moj (Letter to Father / My Father) by Zdenko Runjić and Tomislav Zuppa.
Here is a rough translation of the lyrics:

I'm grown up now, I've become an adult. Mother says I resemble you. She says I look just like you on that picture you took with her once.
My father.

They all mock me, say you ran out on us. But mother says you told her, and swore by your health, that you'll return or pay with your life.
My father.

I wear the yellow jacket and the tight and short pants you sent me. Mother is always wearing your dress, so they make fun of us, say we are strangers.
My father.

I would want, father, like other children, to have my dad beside me. To play with you, to lie by your side, to listen to you talk, to look upon you always.
My father.

I wait for you, father, to come back to us. No one asks of you to pay your debt. Just come live with mother in peace and bring joy to our home again.
My father.

Mother will surely die from grief. Who will look after me then? Come back, father, I beg of you, even without money, for I love you.
My father.
