Dragoslav - Pavle Aksentijević --- Rosna livada + Tekst + English Translation

Описание: Dragoslav - Pavle Aksentijević --- Rosna livada + Tekst + English Translation

Rosna livada, rosna livada, rosna livada,
džanum (dušo moja), bregom nji(h)аlа
Tu mi devojka stado čuvala, stado čuvala,
džanum , biser nizala

Momče gledalo, sproću (sprotiv, nasuprot ovdje znači preko) livade,
čuješ devojko, džanum, čuješ lepojko
Tvoje je lice jarko sunašce, а ја sam junak,
džanum, kraj sunca oblak

Čuješ devojko, čuješ lepojko, tvoje su oči,
džanum, morske trnjine.
a ја sam junak, s mora trgovac, ја da ih
kupim, džanum, ја da ih ljubim.

English Translation:

A meadow full of dew, a meadow full of dew, a meadow full of dew,
my dear, swayed on a hill.
There a maiden was herding a flock of sheep, herding a flock of sheep,
my dear, putting pearls on strings.

A young lad was watching from the other side of the meadow,
hear me girl, my dear, hear me beauty.
Your face is the bright sun, and I am a hero,
my dear, a cloud next to the sun.

Hear me girl, hear me beauty, your eyes,
my dear, are sea blackthorns.
And I am a hero, a merchant from the sea, I want to buy them,
my dear, I want to kiss them.

(Our old songs are full of metaphors so don't be surprised by many different and seemingly unrelated things and words existing tightly together. They are symbols meant to say much with just a few words or to describe things in a way that common use of language could not do so effectively.)
