Legnala Dana, zaspala - Kostadinka Palazova - Macedonian Folk Song
Macedonian Traditional Folk Song
Song lyrics in English:
Dana lay down, fell asleep, O God,
in a little garden,
in a little garden, O God,
under an olive tree.
The wind blew from the sea, O God,
and broke off an olive branch,
and broke off an olive branch, O God,
it hit Dana on the face.
Dana cried out and began to weep, O God,
"Oh dear me, O my God,
I had just fallen asleep, O God
and was dreaming a sweet dream.
In the dream three wild youths came, O God,
Three wild youths, three untried youths;
the first gave me a gold ring, O God,
the second gave me an apple;
the second gave me an apple, O God,
the third kissed me.
The one who gave me a gold ring, O God,
may he crawl through it.
The one who gave me an apple,
may he remain green till the grave.
The one who kissed me,
may I spend my life with him.
Song lyrics in Macedonian:
Legnala Dana, zaspala lele bože
Vo edno mala gradina
Vo edna mala gradina lele bože
Pod edno drvo maslinka
Poduvna veter od more lele bože
Od krši granka maslinka
Od krši granka maslinka lele bože
Udri mi Dana po lice
Vikna mi Dana, zaplače lele bože
Of lele lele do boga
Što bev si slatko, zaspala lele bože
I sladok v sonči sonuva
