U NAŠETO SELO (Rŭčenica)

(Bulgarie)          

U našeto selo kukja čimširova, de, dilber mo' i!
šarena odaja, de, dilber, mome,
šarena odaja.
In our village there's a house with a hedge, oh beautiful girl,
a brightly decorated room, oh beautiful girl,
a brightly decorated room.
Tamo se sabrali site mladi momci, de, dilber mo' i!
redom sŭs momite, de, dilber, mome,
redom sŭs momite.
There all the boys have
gathered together
along with the girls.
Ja si doma čekam libe da mi dojde, de, dilber mo' i!
i mene da vodi, de, dilber, mome,
i mene da vodi.
I waited at home
for my boyfriend to come
and take me.
Malo i mnogu čekah i go ne dočekah, de, dilber mo' i!
na sedenkja pojdoh, de, dilber, mome,
na sedenkja pojdoh.
I waited and waited,
and he didn't come
so I went to the sedenka myself.
Krotko si počukah, vrata se jotvori, de, dilber mo' i!
kakvo da si vidam? de, dilber, mome,
mojto libe tamo!
I knocked softly, the door opened,
and what did I see?
My boyfriend there!
Kolku lesno bilo moma da se laže, de, dilber mo' i!
ama mačno bilo de, dilber, mome,
ergen da se ljubi.
How easy it is for a girl to be led on,
but how hard it is
for a boy to commit himself.
