    Default "Pod kiponom" song translation please

    Our choir is about to perform a series of Eastern songs, among which the Croatian "Pod kopinom".

    I'd rather know what I sing
    Any help welcome,

    Thanks in advance

    LYRICS:
    Pod kopinom pod zelenom tam je nje mu spavati, tam je nje mu spavati obe cal mi svilenc robec, ne rad bi mi davati, ne rad bi mi davati

    Pod Kopinom

    Pod kopinom pod zelenom

    Tam je nje mu spavati,
    Tam je nje mu spavati,
    Obe cal mi
    1. svilen robec, / 2. zlaten prsten / 3. zute cizme

    (Oj) ne rad bi mi davati,
    (Oj) ne rad bimi davati.
    Ako njegva stara mati
    Nece mi ga davati,
    Nece mi ga davati

    Well, first - I don't know what is kopin

    Under...

    Under ... under the green

    That's where he should sleep (I think lol)
    That's where he should sleep
    He promised me
    1. silk handkerchief, / 2. gold ring / 3. yellow boots

    (Oj) he doesn't wanna give it to me,
    (Oj) he doesn't wanna give it to me,
    If his old mother,
    wont give him to me,
    wont give him to me


    And, again, I am so not sure about any of this but I tried...

    Thanks a lot. It does help. Hope we'll sing it more or less meaningfully
