I Monti
07:34
|
|||
I monti ci gettano addosso lunghissime ombre
e stringono un cerchio di tristezza.
La tramontana screpola le case
e i rari passanti s'affrettano.
Il gatto nero svicola.
Domani il giorno potrebbe non tornare
The mountains cast long shadows
And draw a circle of sadness
The cold north wind chaps at the houses
And strangers pass by
The black cat sneaks out
Tomorrow the day may not return

In My Garden At Night
07:13

Noch'ju v sadu u menja
Plachet plakuchaja iva,
I bezuteshna ana Ivushka,
Grustnaja iva.
Ranneje utro blesnet,
Nezhnaja devushka Zor'ka
Ivushke, plachushchej gor'ko,
Sljozy kudrjami sotrot.
In the night in my garden
A weeping willow weeps,
And she is inconsolable, the Willow,
The sorrowful willow.
The young morning will flash,
A tender girl named Dawn
Will wipe away with her curly hair
The tears of the bitterly weeping willow.

Me sem chora chavoro,
Khelav rom majlacho,
Oj andale mandale,
E chora man astaren.
Kas me astarav,
Me mange asav,
Samoi je chaj ni mangel,
Voj manda nashel
O opa tsupa
So te mande chaje muka,
Ti daj ka merel ako ni chele.
Lumbaj , lumbaj, lumbalaj ajde ajde ajde,
Lumbaj , lumbaj, lumbalaj ajde ajde ajde.
I svirache ka chelel,
Noj ni mangel te chelel,
Oj andale mandale,
Mudarela o devel.
Ava Ruzha ava kel,
Pa i tiro mek avel,
Oj andale mandale,
I svirache bashalel.
I am a poor guy,
One of the best dancers,
The girls grab me to dance.
Whomever I grab is glad,
Only one girl doesn’t want to dance,
She runs away from me.
O girl, why are you making trouble for me?
May your mother die if you don’t dance!
Come on, come on, Come on!
All the girls are dancing,
But she is crying sadly,
In my heart a fire burns.
Come on, Rosa, come and dance,
Then you’ll get married.
Even the musicians are dancing.
Whomever I grab is glad,
Only one girl doesn’t want to dance,
She runs away from me.

Elegia
06:08
|
|||
Di te cio che resta é un ricordo
il tempo ha dorato le spighe
e bruciato le stoppie sui campi
rossa ha fatto la vigna e nudo l’albero
sui monti ha messo neve
e fatto scuro il mare
Ma non ricorda il prato ne il canneto
io solo ricordo
e il sale del mio rimorso brucia e fa amara la bocca
Elegia
What remains of you is a memory
the time has turned the corn ears golden
and burned the stubble on the fields
reddened the vineyards and made the trees bare,
put snow on the mountains and darkened the sea.
But the time does not remember the corn fields
only I remember
and the taste of my remorse is bitter and burns my mouth.
Elegy.

Skin is sensitised to air that flows
Afternoon sun warms me head to toe
If you feel sunlight then let me know
Quietly
Skin is sensitised to air that flows
Afternoon sun warms me head to toe
If you feel sunlight then let it show
Let it show

Are the feet of the messenger of good tidings
Proclaiming salvation
Proclaiming peace

Katerino Mome:
Katerino mome, sevda golema
Sevda golema beda golema
Shto ti se maika se vecher kara
Se vecher kara se po vechera
Abre ludo ludo, ludo ta mlado
Men mi se maika se vecher kara
Na porti dojdesh mirno ne stoish
Portite hlopash mene da vidish
Na pendzher doidesh mirno ne stoish
Pendzhere troshish mene da vidish
Katerino girl, my love and my trouble
Why is your mother scolding you every night in the evening?
Hey crazy young boy, my mother is scolding me because of you!
You are coming to the door, you are not being quiet - You are banging on the door because you want to see me
You are coming to the window, you are not being quiet - You are breaking the window because you want to see me!

Ostavixhte
I vech ne se vidyaxhme
V'razdyala da zhiveem
tiran ni os'di.
I d’lgo, potaino,
goreshto kopnyaxhme
sosht edna pregr’dka
Bog da ni dari.
Ne byaxh do tebe
kr’sta da podigna,
ta m’kite
ti m’nichko da oblekcha
Stradaniya slomixha
dushata ti pechalna,
izd’xhnala zovyashta
prokudeni detsa.
Spi vechniya si s’n,
maichitse ednichka,
i znai, che v'tvoita oris
ti ne be samichka.
I left you,
And we never saw each other again.
To live in separation
a tyrant sentenced us forever.
And long, secretly, we longed
for God to grant us
with one more embrace.
I was not next to you to lift the cross
and alleviate your sufferings.
The sufferings crushed your sad soul,
expiring and calling your exiled children.
Sleep your eternal sleep my only mother,
and know that in your fate you are not alone.
