    Default P. kostadinova song

    Kirjana vino prodava- P. kostadinova

    Kirjana vino prodava.
    Na kirajdžii, more, ne dava,
    na kirajdžii ne dava, lele,
    na Stojan vino, more, prodava.

    Kara go, uče majka mu:
    "Ne odi, Stojan, Kirjana.
    Kirjana ce te prelaze, lele,
    ce ti ja zeme, lele, stokata."

    "Ah, mori majko ti stara !
    Stokata čini, lele, stotina,
    stokata čini stotina, lele,
    sama Kirjana, lele, iljada !

    Očite i se dva grada,
    vedjite i se, majko, čaršija,
    liceto i e belina, lele,
    kosata i e, majko, koprina."

    This is an old famous Macedonian folk song I tried to translate it as good as I could, though I must admit that such type of songs are really difficult for translating...
    Hope you will get the point Here it goes

    Kirjana is selling wine

    Kirjana* is selling wine
    to boarders, she doesn't give
    to boarders she doesn't give, oh
    She is selling wine to Stojan**

    His mother is reproaching and "teaching" him
    "Don't go Stojan, Kirijana
    Kirjana will deceive you
    she will take your goods, oh your goods"

    "Ah ,my mother, you old one!
    The goods cost hundreds
    the goods cost hundreds oh,
    Kirijana herself, oh, costs thousands!

    Her eyes are two cities
    her eyebrows, mother, bazaar
    her face is whiteness, oh
    her hair, mother, nettle"


    Kirjana and Stojan are old traditional Macedonian names...

    "More" or "Lele" are exclamations so I didn't know how to translate them literally
    The icon lamp has brighten the sky
    white aureole are knitting the angels for you
    your star extinguished, as soon as I found you, you left
    ***TOŠE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS***
