LINĐO

(Croatie)          

U selu, u selu kolo igrala.
Tu igra, tu igra dragi sa dragon,
Tu igra, tu igra sele sa braton.
Tu stoji, tu stoji mlada kod kola.
Pita ju, pita ju mom·ce iz kola,
"Zašto ti, zašto ti mlada ne igraš?"
Veli mu, veli mu mlada kod kola,
"Ja dok sam, ja dok sam draga imala
vazda sam, vazda sam mlada igrala, mlada igrala."
In the village they were dancing a kolo.
There sweetheart dances with sweetheart,
there sister dances with brother.
There a young girl stands by the kolo.
A boy in the kolo asks her,
"Why, young girl, aren't you dancing?"
The young girl says to him at the kolo,
"While I had a sweetheart
I danced all the time."
