LADO - LADARKE

LADARKE (Emil Cossetto)

I. LADARKE IDO V SELO

Mi nosimo zelen venčec
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado
Zelen venčec z šipkovine
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado

Jaboke tri zlatne na njem
Prvo dajmo v polje naše
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado

Da nam žito gore hodi
Sako zrno da se z množi
Pet vaganov žita dalo
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado

Da nam selo bo veselo
Sakoj hiži nevestica
Sakom momku devojčica
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado

II. PRED STARIM MAJKAMA

Dobro jutro stare majke vašem domu vašem rodu

||: Došle so vam Ivančice
Ivančice devojčice
Dajte dajte stare majke
Probudite kčerke svoje :||

Da doneso ladne vode iza gore Ivanove

||: Da češja jo žute kose
Ivi kose do pojasa
Dajte dajte stare majke
Mi moramo dalje iti :||

Donesite stare majke kaj ste snočka obečale

|||: Kruha sira i pogačo
I pogačo bazlamačo
Dajte dajte stare majke
Kaj nemate to ne dajte :|||

III. IVANJSKA IGRA PRED STARIM MAJKAMA

Jel’ vam se hoće Lado kaj nas bude više

Nam se hoće Lado, nam se hoće kaj nas bude više

Jel’ vam se hoće Lado mladega junaka

Nam se hoće Lado, nam se hoće mladega junaka

RURAL SINGERS (Emil Cossetto)

I. RURAL SINGERS GO TO THE VILLAGE

We carry up woven green wreathes
Give us Lado, lovely Lado
Woven green wreathes of twig and vine
Give us Lado, lovely Lado

These three golden apples for him
The first given fruits from our fields
Give us Lado, lovely Lado

For us this wheat where we walk up
Kernels of grain that multiply
Five wagons full of wheat offered
Give us Lado, lovely Lado

May we have a happy village
May there be a perfect young bride
For every boy a young maiden
Give us Lado, lovely Lado

II. BEFORE THE ANCIENT MOTHERS

A good morning to you old mother, your home and your kinfolk

Midsummer Days have come to you
Midsummer Days with us young girls
Give us, give us, dear old mother
Rouse and awaken your daughters

To help us fetch fresh cold water behind the hill on Saint John’s Day

If they comb out their yellow hair
It reaches unto the belt fringes
Give us, give us, dear old mother
We must continue on our way

To carry on, ancient mothers, what we pledge

Bread, cheese, and loaves
And loaves of basic need
Give us, give us ancient mothers
What is lacking; that, you cannot give

III. MIDSUMMER DANCE BEFORE THE ANCIENT MOTHERS
Victuals you like yourself, O Lado, is what will be in abundance for us
We ourselves like, O Lado, we ourselves like what will be in abundance for us

Victuals you like yourself, O Lado, for youthful heroines
We ourselves like, O Lado, we ourselves like youthful heroines

Jel’ vam se hoće mlada ze lepim imenom

Nam se hoće mlada, nam se hoće ze lepim imenom
