Glazba/Music & Tekst/Lyrics: Traditional folk song from Međimurje
Arrangement: Dunja Knebl, Danijel Maoduš, Hrvoje Ban, Martin Turšić
Šest let mi je minulo nisam bil v Međimurju,
Bil sam v ruskoj zemlici, šest let vek vu žalosti.
Mrzli vetrič, zima je; saki ftiček smrzel je,
ki god vu ju doleti nebre nit popevati.
V noči mi se sejalo, da sam bil v Međimurju,
v jutro sam se prebudil, i zdaj sam v Rusiji bil.
Ne daj vam Bog probati, niti vam doživeti,
ne daj vam Bog probati, to tožnu Sibiriju.
Božeku se molila moja stara majčica,
k sebi me dozivala z mojega Međimurja.
"Živ mi dojdi, sinek moj, dojdi k svoji dečici,
kaj se ne bom plakala kak za tvega japeka,
kak za našeg dedeka ki spi v ruski zemlici."
In his dream he was once again in Međimurje after being six long years in cold, dreary Russia (Siberia).
His mother is praying for him: "Come home, dear son, back to your children so that I won't have to cry like I cried for your father - our grandfather who is sleeping in his Russian grave".
I have recorded 16 albums of less known or forgotten traditional Croatian folk songs released by different labels as
compact discs, 3 of which are on BC. Here you can also find my recordings of folk songs from some other countries I have lived in (free download), some live concerts from the past (free download), and my singer-songwriter album Love Li(v)es....more
