Traditional Croatian folk song from Hrvatsko zagorje
lyrics
Markec išel v taborec, domaj stavil Katicu
Domaj stvail Katicu, lepu vrtnu ružicu.
„Oj, mamica, mamica, pazite na Katicu,
Kad bu dete rodila podajte joj vodicu!“
Išla majka vu goru da donese vodice.
Listiće odgrnula, kačicu odvalila.
Kača pusti čemera, majka toči pehara
Majka toči pehara, do odnese Katici.
„Oj, mamica, mamica, podajte mi vodice!“
Nije dala vodice, već je dala otrova.“
Kak je Kata popila mom je dušu spustila.
Oj nesretna maćeha, kaj si sad napravila?
„Oj mamica, mamica, de je naša Katica?“
„Kaj ti ja znam kam ti je, dišla ti je na pole.“
Markec zezul čižmicu pak je vudril narbicu,
Vrata se otvorila, nutri videl mrtve dva.
Nutri videl mrtve dva, Katicu i Iveka,
F komorki zagrljeni, na drugi svet otpravljeni.
„Oj,mamica, mamica, idmo mi dva ruže brat,
Kaj mo mrtve kinčali, na drugi svet otpravljali“
Kak se majka prignula da bi ružu ftrgnula
Markec spukne sablicu, odseče majki glavicu.
„Idi glava za glavom, idi duša za dušom,
Ti fčinila mrtve dva, ja načinil tretjega.“
When Markec goes to war, his cruel mother does not help his wife Katica in childbirth, but poisons her and her baby. On returning and learning the terrible truth Markec cuts his mother's head of saying: Soul after soul, head after head. You have caused the death of two and I of the third.
