Legnala Dana

Dana lay down and fell asleep, dear God,
In a little garden,
In a little garden, dear God,
Under an olive tree.

The wind blew from the sea,
And broke off an olive branch,
And broke off an olive branch, dear God,
It hit Dana in the face.

Dana cried out and began to weep, dear God,
Oh dear me, dear God,
I had fallen asleep so sweetly, dear God,
And was dreaming a sweet dream.    

In the dream three men came, dear God,
Three men, three young lads.
The first gave me a gold ring, dear God,
The second gave me an apple,
The second gave me an apple, dear God.
The third kissed me.

The one that gave me a gold ring
may I slip by him;
the one who gave me an apple, dear God,
may he remain green to the grave;
the one who kissed me, dear Lord,
may I spend my life with him.

I had fallen asleep so sweetly, dear God,
And was dreaming a sweet dream.  

Na son dojdoja tri ludi, lele Bozhe,  
Tri ludi, tri adžamii.

So nego da se vekuva!

The one that gave me a gold ring
may I slip by him;
the one who gave me an apple, dear God,
may he remain green to the grave;
the one who kissed me, dear God,
may I spend my life with him.
