MOLIH TA, MAJČO, I MOLIH (Pravo)

(Bulgarie)          

Molih ta, majčo, i molih,
ne možih da ta izmolja
I begged you, mother, I begged you,
but I could not persuade you
ne možih da ta izmolja
da ma ni glaviš ni ženiš
but I could not persuade you
not to betroth me or marry me off
da ma ni glaviš ni ženiš
barem juj saja godina
not to betroth me or marry me off
this year,
barem juj saja godina
juj sova leto, proleto
this year,
this summer, this spring,
juj sova leto, proleto
dorde ni dojde pozime
this summer, this spring,
not until autumn comes,
dorde ni dojde pozime
da sa sŭbirat momine
not until autumn comes,
and the girls gather,
da sa sŭbirat momine
momine na poprelkine
and the girls gather,
at their spinning parties
leftera da si pohodja
gizdilo da si ponosja.
so I could go about unmarried
and wear my fancy clothes.
A ti ma, majčo, joglavi
joglavi, jošte oženi.
But, mother, you betrothed me,
betrothed me and married me off.
