De pijav mange, pijav – Ej, keď ja umrem – Ej, soven, čhave, soven

I drink – When I die – Sleep, children, sleep

G

De pijav mange, pijav, mire phralorenca
jaj mire phralorenca, jaj bo len ňiko nane.
De pijav mange, pijav, mire phralorenca,
jaj mire phralorenca jaj bo len ňiko nane.


De soven, čhave, soven,
de ča te chal na mangen,
de sar te chal mangena,
De žaľake me rovava.

I drink, I drink with my brothers,
with their brothers because they have no one.
I drink, I drink, with my brothers,
with their brothers because they have no one.


***
When I die, bury me with music,
and call all people to the grave.
It keeps raining on my old mother,
if only she knew where I lay my head.
***
Sleep children, sleep,
just don't ask to eat.
When you ask for food,
I will cry from grief.
