MAJKA RADA (Pravo)

(Bulgarie)          

Majka Rada sitno plete,
sitno plete, ljuto kùlne :
"Sterko Rado, bjala Rado,
tvojta, Rado, rusa kosa.
Rada's mother plaits her hair finely,
plaits her hair finely, scolds her angrily :
"Daughter Rada, fair Rada,
your blond hair, Rada.
Tvojta Rado rusa kosa,
koj ste i e pùrvo libe?
Dali ergen ili vdovec
ili turcin drugoverec?"
Your blond hair, Rada,
who will be its first love?
A bachelor or a widower
or a Turkish infidel?"
Rada mama tihom duma :
"Mamo, mamo, milna mamo,
ne e ergen nito vdovec
nito turcin drugoverec.
Rada softly answers her mama :
"Mama, mama, dear mama,
neither a bachelor nor a widower
nor a Turkish infidel.
Naj Ste mi e naj-junace,
na junaci bajraktarce."
He will be the most heroic one of all,
the heroes' standard-bearer."
