ne si go prodavaj koljo ciflikot

Greetings all!!
Here in the hope someone out there could possibly translate the lyrics of this great Macedonian song into english.Thanks for your time.

Hello,but where is the lyrics???
Tose sang that song so great,so i put this translation also in the thread about him
so here u go

Ne si go prodavaj Koljo ciflikot,
dont sell ur grange(manor) Koljo*
Mama ne me dava Koljo za tebe.
Mother doesnt give me to u,Koljo

Po meani odis Koljo,
u go in the inns,Koljo
Rujno vino pies,
u drink fine wine
Doma rano ne si odis da spies.
u dont go to sleep at home earlier


Kolku ti cini Koljo ciflikot,
As much as your grange (manor) costs Koljo
Tolku mi cini Koljo merakot.
that much costs my affection, Koljo
Kolku ti cini Koljo ciflikot,
as much as cost ur grange(manor)
Tolku mi cini Koljo grloto.
that much cost my neck(throat)

*Koljo is name of guy

Anyway song is so great


yeah and i found some words which must be in that song,but in version i translated it wasnt,so here u go

Kolku ti cinat koljo megite
as much as your abutments cost Koljo
Tolku mi cinat koljo vegite.
that much cost my eyebrows

Po meani odis koljo rujno vino pies
Doma rano ne si odis da spies.

Kolku ti cinat koljo ovcite
as much as your sheep cost
Tolku mi cinat koljo ocite.
that much cost my eyes, Koljo
Po meani odis koljo rujno vino pies
Doma rano ne si odis da spies.

Kolku ti cini koljo trloto
as much as your cote costs Koljo
Tolku mi cini koljo grloto
that much costs my neck, Koljo

And seems here is original lyrics


Не си го продавај Кољо чифликот
Мама не ме дава Кољо за тебе

По меани одиш Кољо
Рујно вино пиеш
Дома рано не си одиш да спиеш
(2x)

Колку ти чини Кољо чифликот
Толку ми чини Кољо меракот
Колку ти чини Кољо чифликот
Толку ми чини Кољо грлото

По меани одиш Кољо
Рујно вино пиеш
Дома рано не си одиш да спиеш

Колку ти чинат Кольо мегите
Толку ми чинат Кольо вегите

Колку ти чинат Кольо овчите
Толку ми чинат Кольо очите

Колку ти чинат Кольо трлото
Толку ми чинат Кольо грлото

Thanks so much for your time and effort....from an Irisn musician having a not so secret love affair with Balkan music.Just have to drill that unfamiliar 9/8 rhythym into my fingers(by the way 9/8 is common in Irish music too but generally breaks down as 3+3+3...) .Love the lyrics by the way.Familiar territory.Thanks again my friend

Ohh ur welcomeyeah song is really great
so if u play i can sing that song and we can be like a duethahah and go to Eurovision
and if u need any help im here

OK, Maria, as I promised, I checked it and thought it is nice to post any corrections if needed here instead in Tose's thread so that you can edit right away Great job for one again, specially considering the thing that folk songs are difficult for translating, because their beauty vanishes with translations, they mainly say much with the music and lyrics in original, but translations are good so that the meaning can be grasped by the non-native Macedonians
I see you've done all of it great and you understood it very well, just here I thought it might sound little bit better if the words are in this order

Rujno vino pies,
u drink fine wine

Kolku ti cini Koljo ciflikot,
As much as your grange (manor) costs Koljo
Tolku mi cini Koljo merakot.
that much costs my affection, Koljo

Kolku ti cinat koljo megite
as much as your abutments cost Koljo
Tolku mi cinat koljo vegite.
that much cost my eyebrows

Kolku ti cinat koljo ovcite
as much as your sheep cost
Tolku mi cinat koljo ocite.
that much cost my eyes, Koljo

Kolku ti cini koljo trloto
as much as your cote costs Koljo
Tolku mi cini Koljo grloto
that much costs my neck, Koljo

No problem dear, you've done it great even without me Well trust me even Tose's songs lose from the beauty while being translated, I've noticed it while translating his songs, so this goes for every song, no matter if Macedonian, Russian, or of any other origin It is the best in its original form, because many times songs also has lyrics with rhyme and if translated someone will say it sounds strange Anyway we are trying to help to the others, so we do our best
"Zajdi, zajdi jasno sonce" is absolutely an evergreen, no wondering why you like it, it is just unique song, with music and lyrics as well Great choice

Greetings, xxx
