lyrics

MARI MARIJO
Mari Marijo sorchitse moe
ja izlez izlez otvon na dvori
da si ti videm mari chornine ochi
chornine ochi choranki li sa.

Abre junache ludo i mlado
hodeval li si skoro v gradina
videval li si abre chorni churjase
mojse sa ochi dvaz triz po-chorni.

Mari Marijo sorchitse moe
ja izlez izlez otvon na dvori
da si ti videm mari belono litse
belono litse belichko li e.

Abre junache ludo i mlado
hodeval li si skoro v planina
videval li si abre beli snegove
mojso e lice dvaz triz po-belo.

Mari Marijo sorchitse moe
ja izlez izlez otvon na dvori
da si ti videm mari tjonkana snazka
tjonkana snazka tjonka li ti e.

Abre junache ludo i mlado
hodeval li si skoro v usoe
videval li si abre tjonka topola
mojsa e snazka dvaz triz po-tjonka

OH, MARIA!
Oh Maria,my love,
come out into the yard
so I can see your black eyes,
are they still as black as they were?

Well, you crazy one,
have you been in the garden recently?
Have you seen black cherries?
My eyes are twice, thrice as black!

Oh Maria, my love,
come out into the yard
so I can see your fair face,
is it still as fair as it was?

Well, you crazy one,
have you been in the mountains recently?
Have you seen white snow?
My face is twice, thrice as fair.

Oh Maria, my love,
come out into the yard
so I can see your slender body,
is it still as slender as it was?

Well, you crazy young thing,
have you been in dark shady places recently?
Have you seen a slender poplar tree?
My body is twice, thrice as slender.
