lyrics
Potopljeni svatovi
Ženil se je mladi junak, preko mora crlenoga.
Kad je išel k mile drage, sve je morje suvo bilo,
Kad je išel z milom dragom, sve je morje bregom teklo.
„A jaj mene, kaj sad bode, što nam broda brodil bode?“
Progovore svi svatovi: „Naj ga brodi mlad zastavnik!“
Prime veslo v ruko desno, kak zabrodil, tak se vtopil.
„A jaj mene, kaj sad bode, što nam broda brodil bode?“
Progovore svi svatovi: „Naj ga brodi mladi dever!“
Prime veslo v ruko desno, kak zabrodil, tak se vtopil.
„A jaj mene, kaj sad bode, što nam broda brodil bode?“
Progovore svi svatovi: „Naj ga brodi mladoženja!“
Prime veslo v ruko desno, kak zabrodil, tak se vtopil.
Al proplače njegva mlada: „A jaj mene, kaj sad bode,
A jaj mene, kaj sad bode, kuda jadna sada pojdem?
Ako dojdem k svoje majke, eto ćerke, zeta nema!
Ako dojdem k njegve majke, eto sneje, sina nema!
A jaj mene, kaj sad bode, kuda jadna sada pojdem?
Svem sam svatom dare dala, samo mi je jeden ostal,
Samo mi je jeden ostal: crni rubec crne svile.
S njim si svežem tužne oči, pa za dragem v morje skočim.“
A young man was to be wed to a maiden from the other side of the red sea.
On his arrival the tide was low, but returning with his bride, the waters rose.
One by one, all who steered the vessel drowned, even the bridegroom.
Teary eyed, the young bride said: “Oh! Where will I go now? Mother will ask for her son-in-law. Mother-in-law will ask for her son.
I still hold one wedding gift: a black silk scarf.
I shall cover my sad eyes with it and follow my sweetheart into the abyss.”
