Дали са бели снегове или са лебеди?
Нито са бели снегове, нито са лебеди,
най е било един чадър и под него Стоян.
Ей, ей болен лежи млад ми Стоян
и до него – сестра.
Ей, ей и на сестра Стоян дума:
и до него – сестра.
Ей, ей и на сестра Стоян дума:
“Яно, милна сестро!
Пойди, Яно, ми донеси от бял Дунав вода!
Пойди, Яно, ми донеси от бял Дунав вода!
Да изцери,милна сестро,мойте люти рани.
Посечи си мало пърсте да протечат кърви,
бележувай камен, дърво,пътя си да найдеш!”
Ей, ей Яна брата послушала
и посекла пърсте.
Ей, ей от бял Дунав вода взела
и посекла пърсте.
Ей, ей от бял Дунав вода взела
и назад тръгнала.
Кога Яна гора стигна ситна роса падна,
Кога Яна гора стигна ситна роса падна,
че отмила нейни кърви от камен и дърво.
Сестра пътя загубила към брата Стояна,
тогаз Яна, жална Яна Богу помолила:
“Ей, ей мили Боже, превърни ме
в пиле – кукавица!
Ей, ей да си литна нависоко
брата си да найда!”
Why is it getting white up there on Belasitsa mountain? Is it white snow or swans?
в пиле – кукавица!
Ей, ей да си литна нависоко
брата си да найда!”
Why is it getting white up there on Belasitsa mountain? Is it white snow or swans?
It’s neither white snow nor swans, rather it is a shelter and under it is Stoyan,
Oy oy, young Stoyan is lying there ill and beside him is his sister.
Oy oy, Stoyan said to his sister, Yana, belovèd sister,
Please go, Yana, bring me water from the Danube river to cure, belovèd sister, my deep wounds.
Cut your little finger, let the blood run, mark stones and trees with it, so you can find your way back.
Oy, oy, Yana listened to her brother and made a cut in her finger
Oy oy, she took water from the Danube river and started on her way back.
When Yana got to the forest, dew had fallen that washed away her blood marks from the stones and the trees. The sister couldn’t find the path back to her brother Stoyan then Yana sadly begged God:
“O my dear God, turn me into a bird – a cuckoo bird so I can fly up high and find my dear brother.
