Soven, čhave, soven
De ča te chal na mangen
Jaj, sem amari phuri daj
Andre žaľa rovel

Soven, čhave, soven
Ča te chal na mangen

De kana merav, šukares man de paruven
De pre mro hrobos, de rozmarina sadzinen
De avka tumen pre mro hrobos, sadzinena
De andre mande miro jilo pukinela

De veša, veša
Churde veša
Maškar o cinteris
De ola veša
De čingerla
Sar miro khere avela

Sleep, children, sleep
Sleep, children, sleep
Just don't ask for food
Yes, our grandmother too
Cries in pain

Sleep, children, sleep
Just don't ask for food
Yes, our grandmother too
Cries in pain

When I die, bury me nicely
And plant rosemary on my grave
When you plant rosemary on my grave
My heart will break

***

Forests, forests
Sparse forests
A cemetery in between
These forests!
When my man comes home
He will cut them down
