lyrics
Zove Maro zove
Zove Maro, zove, zove Maro, zove, Iva na večerju.
„Hodi, Iva, hodi, hodi, Iva, hodi k meni na večerju.
Dišal Vajda z doma, vrezal si je kruha na četiri dane.“
Prvič puška poči na dunajskem bregu.
„Beži, Iva, beži, Vajda ide dimo!“
„Nabom bežal, nabom, sama si me zvala,
Sama si me zvala i večerju dala.“
Drugoč puška poči pred srednjim oblokom.
„Beži, Iva beži, Vajda ide dimo!“
„Nabom bežal, nabom, sama si me zvala,
Sama si me zvala i večerju dala.“
Tretjič puška poči pred hižnimi vrati:
„Beži, Iva, beži, Vajda je već doma!“
„Nabom bežal, nabom, makar glavu zgubim,
Sama si me zvala i večerju dala.“
Vajda v hižu stane, Maru v glavu streli:
„To ti bodi, Maro, koga si ljubila!“
Puškicu je složil, na stol ju naložil,
Na stol ju naložil, sam je vu se sprožil.
Mara invites Iva for dinner in her husband’s absence.
By the bread he took, she thought Vajda would be away for four days. However, he returned earlier than expected.
When the two lovers heard Vajda’s gun shots, Mara begged Iva to leave but he didn’t listen.
Vajda entered the house, and first killed Mara and then himself.
