1. BISCOTI RUDULADI

ghe portare a me maro
oun saco de simula
pal beveron de le galeine
in sto saco z ii ovi
pai biscoti ruduladi
i cusciti ch’a se ciapa cu le man
in tal canton de la corto
la cioca io fato i pulseini
in quil saco
al me ieri al so duman
e serada drento ouna scarsela
z’gionfa cul cor ch’a bato
forto e grando
de me maro ch’a meto inasembro
al so ciapo de galeine e de carita

1. ROLLED COOKIES

I’ll take a sack to my mother
of pollard
as chicken feed
there are eggs in this bag
for rolled cookies
thighs that are taken by hands
in a courtyard corner
the hen hatched chicks
in that sack
my yesterday her tomorrow
locked inside is a plump pocket
with a beating heart
strong and big
of my mother that gathers
her handful of chicken and mercy

(Loredana Bogliun)

2. CANSONEITA

zuta al siel la veivo
la bela zornada
biata
forte forte al sul
e la zeigala canta
chei canta
cu la canta
la se inamura
se inamura cumo mei
al me corpo
ouna carisa sula
nuva
in t’al varto l’aio
a paso s’cito naso
al criso
in tra le feile douto reiddo
douto reido cumo mei

2. A LITTLE SONG

a beautiful day lives
under the sky
blissful
the hot sun is shining
the cicada sings
o how it  sings
whwn she sings
she falls in love
she falls in love like me

a single caress
on my body
new
the garlick is sprouting
in the garden
with limpid movement
it grow
between the rows it all laughs
it all laughs like me

(Loredana Bogliun)

3. NAD MOREN

nad moren zora je svanula
na vitru barka se je nagnula
peškadur adva
ribu su peškala
dva tri galeba
jisti su iskala
tananaj tana tanananajnaj

3. ABOVE THE SEA

above the sea came the down
on the wind the boat slanted
two fishermen fished
two three seaguulls
where looking for a meal

tananaj tanatanajnajnaj

4. PREDI ŠĆI MOJA

predi predi šći moja
sako lito jenu nit
ćeš se brže joženit
za volara šći moja
majko moja volar vore
kada vore malo vore
aj kad vore pak ne more
neću majko volara

predi predi šći moja
sako lito jenu nit
ćeš se brže joženit
za pekjara šći moja
majko moja pekjar prosi
ča naprosi doma nosi
ja ću sisti pak ću jisti
ja ću majko pekjara

4. SPIN MY DAUGHTER

spin spin my daughter
a thread every year
if you spin you’ll marry sooner
for a ploughmen my daughter
mother dear the ploughmen is ploughing
when he’s ploughing he doesn’t plough much
and when he’s ploughing he is of no use
i don’t want a ploughmen mother

spin spin my daughter
a thread every year
if you spin you’ll marry sooner
for a beggar my daughter
mother dear the beggar is begging
what he manages to beg he brings home
i will sit and then i will eat
i shell marry a beggar mother

5. NE PLAČI LUCIJA

zdiga se je vitar
natega lancune
tekuć se zletila
pred tuje portune

ulike spod brajdah
i barka na vali
ku je učinija
si su zanj već znali

ne plači Lucija

zdiga se je vitar
rashita je seno
i plahe beside
pred vrtlišće njeno

5. LUCY DON'T CRY
(THE WIND AROSE)

the wind arose
stretched the sheets
running she came
to foreign gates

bellow vineyards the olive-grows
and the boat in the bay
the one that he made
he was already known by all

Lucy don't cry

the wind arose
scattered the hay
and timid words
in front of her garden.

Lucy don't cry

(Danijel Načinović )

6. ČRNO ZLO

svi mački me grebu
ma svi breki grizu
voli trupaju i mravi čiplju
svi vognji me peču
sva voda me guši
prsti pipaju jaziki ližu
sve oči me gledaju
sve uši slušaju
svi noži me rižu
sve škare me strižu
sve kose me kose
svi srpi me žanju
sva klišta me stišću
svi bati me kuju
svi konopi me vežu
i sve peze me pežu

ninega ni po Boga
ki bi mi pomoga
ko bi moga
najti svoju i moju
krivicu i pravicu

6. DARK EVIL

all cats scratch me
and all dogs bite me
all bulls kick me
and all ants nip at me
all water drowns me
fingers touch me
tongues lick me
all eyes are on me
all ears listen to me
all knives cut me
all scissors clip me
all scythes sweep me
all sickles reap me
all grindstones grind me
all pliers squeeze me
all hammers smite me
all ropes tie me
and all scales measure me
there is nobody for God’s sake
who could help me
who could find
his and my own
guilt and justice

(Milan Rakovac)
