LYRICS

Dodek je moma pri majka, Do tu je bela i crvena. Do tu je odila šetala, Mominski pesni pejala. Mominski pesni pejala, Mominski ora igrala. Godi se, zacrnela se, Oženi se, zakopa se. A Što se svekor svekrva? Tova je crno crnilo. A što se dever i zolva? Tova je žolto žoltilo. A što se malkite deca? Tova se sitni sindžiri. A što je kitka šarena? Tova je prvoto libe. |
While a girl lives with her mother, She is fair and rosy. She goes walking, She sings girls' songs. She sings girls' songs, Dance girls' dances. She gets engaged, turns unhappy, Gets married, is buried. And what are father-in-law, mother-in-law? They are unhappiness. And what are brother-in-law and sister-in-law? They are sickness. And what are the little children? They are little chains. And what is the many-colored bouquet? It is her true love. |
