lyrics
Đuro mlad mladenec
„Đuro mlad mladenec, moj zeleni venec,
Kaj čekaš, kaj kaniš, kaj po me ne dojdeš?
Po me su hodili troje fele ljudi,
Troje fele ljudi, mladi Latinčari.“
„Či su ti hodili zakaj si ne išla?
Či su ti hodili zakaj si ne išla?“
„Išla bi ja, išla, na te sam mislila,
Na te sam mislila, tebe sam čakala.“
„Jana, oj Janica, ne daj si igrati,
Ne daj si igrati kre mojega dvora.
V goslice igrati, v trubente puhati,
V trubente puhati, v turski bobenj biti!“
Jana nej marala, igrati si dala,
Jana nej marala, igrati si dala.
V goslice igati, v trubente puhati,
V trubente puhati, v turski bobenj biti.
„Vidiš Đuro, vidiš, Janu ti peljaju!
Vidiš Đuro, vidiš, Janu ti peljaju!“
Kad je Đuro videl, mahom doli opal,
Mahom doli opal, odmah mrtev postal.
„Nesi mi ga dala živoga gledati,
Mrtvoga si gledi, sama stara baba!“
Jana asks Đuro why he hasn't come for her yet.
Many have come to her door, but she still thinks of Đuro.
Finally, Jana waits no more and marries another.
Đuro's mother asks her son to watch Jana’s wedding procession.
He looks at the procession and instantly dies of sorrow.
Jana's words to Đuro's mother:
“You didn’t let me be with him alive:
now look at his dead body, all alone, you, old hag. “
