| ZAJKO KOKORAJKO (Arap) |
|
Storil nijet zajko, zajko kokorajko,
Zajko da se ženi, zajko serbezlija, Si natresol gaki, uprčil mustaki, Nagrnal džamadan, kapa fiškulija, More, tokmo mladoženja! |
Rabbit made a plan, popeyed Rabbit,
He planned to get married, hot-shot Rabbit, He pulled on his trousers, twirled his moustache, Got into his jacket and his fez, Hey, just like a bridegroom! |
|
Mi posvršil zajko lina udovica,
Kitka nakitena, maza razmažena, Poznata džimrijka, svetska isposlica, More, selska vizitarka! |
Rabbit got engaged to Widow Fox,
A flowery bouquet, a spoiled pet, A well-known fussy eater, an avoider of work, The village fussbudget! |
|
Mi pokanil zajko kiteni svatovi,
Mečka mesarija, vučica kumica, Žaba zurladžijka, ežo tupandžija, Oven esapčija, murdžo aberdžija, Zajko kokorajko, Si natresol gaki, uprčil mustaki, Nagrnal džamadan, kapa fiškulija, More, tokmo mladoženja! |
Rabbit invited his wedding party, A she-bear butcher, a she-wolf godmother, A frog to play zurla, a hedgehog for drummer, A ram for bookkeeper, a watchdog wedding-crier, Popeyed Rabbit, Pulled on his trousers, twirled his mustache, Got into his jacket and his fez, Hey, just like a bridegroom! |
|
Pa mi trgnal zajko niz Solunsko pole,
Da si vidi zajko lisa udovica, Tam si najde zajko mesto lindralija, Kvačka so pilinja, teska meravdžika, Liči za nevesta! | Then Rabbit set off through the region of Salonika,
To see Widow Fox, There Rabbit found, instead of a sleek fox, A hen with chicks, a heavy dowry, It looks like the bride! |
|
Koga vide zajko toa čudno čudo,
Pa mi letna zajko nazad na tragovi, Tam si sretna zajko do dva-tri lovdžii, Em oni si nosat puski sačmalii, More, 'rti em zagari! |
When Rabbit saw this wondrous wonder,
Rabbit flew back on his tracks, Then Rabbit met with two or three hunters, And they had guns, And hunting dogs! |
|
Pa mi presnal zajko, zajko da mi bega,
Si iskinal gaki, razmrsil mustaki, Iskinal džamadan, vikna se provikna, More, nesum mladoženja! |
Rabbit shot off running,
Lost his trousers, messed up his mustache, Threw off his jacket, cried out, Hey, I'm not a bridegroom!" |
