I do not like the way I translated this, but it just doesn't make sense in English due to being too localized.
Every Orthodox Christian family in Serbia has a certain day where they celebrate their own saint, and that day is called Patron's Day (slava). This tradition originated from the Pagan religion, where families would sacrifice a certain animal to their family god. When Slovenes were transitioning to Christianity, the Pagan deities were replaced with Christian saints, and animal sacrifices were mostly replaced with fasting, although some Patron's Days don't require fasting. Patron's Day is celebrated like Thanksgiving in the USA, with family lunches. Because of fasting, the most common main course on Patron's Days is fish.
We're making the lunch,
the sky is green.
the sun just started rising,
it's early morning.
I'm in my pyjamas,
she's in her pyjamas,
we are dancing to
our favourite music.
I pull her to myself,
stroke her hair,
touch her cheek,
we're kissing.
We continue
to peel the fish,
dancing to the songs
that are changing.
Трпеза се спрема,
зелено је небо.
Сунце тек се буди,
рано је јутро.
Ја сам у пиџами,
она у пиџами,
играмо уз неку
нашу музику.
Привучем је к себи,
помазим по коси,
додирнем јој кожу,
пољубимо се.
Настављамо даље
да љуштимо рибу,
играмо уз песме
што се смењују.
