For HuGo
The Love Of My Life
A lamb began bleating
A lamb began bleating
In Todor's pens.
When the lamb began bleating,
The whole flock started bleating.

Todor spoke to the lamb:
"My dear horned lamb,
Why are you bleating so sadly
So do the whole flock begun bleating after you?

Is it because your grass is not green
Or the water is not enough?
The lamb said sadly:
Dear brother Todor,
Where is my mother1?

Todor said to the lamb:
"My dear horned lamb,
This early Sunday morning
Three peddlers have come.
They gave me a fistful of golden coins,
So I sold The Horned one2 to them.

The lamb said sadly:
"Do you remember, dear brother Todor,
When Tundzha3 overflew
And destroyed the bridges,
Your flock stayed on the other side of the river4?

You were walking alongside the shore
And you were so sadly whining?
My mother The Horned One
Have save the whole flock from drowning."

"Do you remember what have you promised,
What were your words?"
You said you'll gild her horns,
and plated her legs with silver.

"Why, brother, you've sold her
To those heartless butchers?"
Todor was very upset,
He started playing the kaval.
When he was playing the kaval,
His tears were falling on the kaval.

Sharo5 was laying quietly.
The Horned One bleated from the flock:
"I hear you, brother Todor,
My bell is heavy.
If I walk away from the flock
The butchers will recognize me."

Sharo hid himself in the grass
And entered the flock.
He get The Horned One's leash
And took away The Horned One from the flock
And he took her to Todor.

The lamb has bleated thankfully:
"Big brother Todor,
All the lambs have mothers
And I, brother, have mother!"
