Dances from the Nišava River Valley

Song Words
 
Meseče Jasan Pojasan
 
//Meseče jasan pojasan. //The moon, clear, clearer
//Greješ li svuda po svetu? //Do you shine brightly everywhere?
//Greješ li selo malovo? //Do you shine in the tiny village?
 
Sto Mi Omilelo
 
//Što mi omilelo nane, što mi omileloWhat has become dear to me?
 Pirotskoto polje, nane, Pirotska momčeta //The Pirot plain & the young men.
 Ej, oh, ju!
 
//Što ubavo nose, nane, što ubavo noseWhat beautiful thing is he wearing?
 Beli breveneci, nane, svinski opančeta //White felt pants & pig-skin shoes.
 
Vrti Kolo
 
 Vrti kolo, vrti kolo, k'm to meneTurn the kolo toward me
 Vrti kolo, k'm to mene.
 
 A baća će, a baća će, k'm to tebeAnd brother now toward you
 A baća će, k'm to tebe.
 
 Baća će ti, baća će ti, dava srceBrother will give you his heart.
 Baća će ti, dava srce.

 Na policaOnto the shelf
 Da dofatiTo grab at (like a cat)
 SušenicaSušenica (sausage like meat)
 A sega--deAnd NOW!
