Telal Viče
telal viče od jutra do mraka
koj' u koga noćas na konaku
nek' ne ide rano sa konaka
utekla je pašina robinja
i uzela dva tovara blaga
i ukrala sahat iz njedara
i odvela ata iz ahara
i povela muju haznadara
susreta je pašin kavaz
što pobježe pašina robinjo?
što s' uzela dva tovara blaga?
što ukrade sahat iz njedara?
što odvede ata iz ahara?
što povede muju haznadara?
blago nosim da putem ne prosim
sahat nosim da gdje ne zadocnim
ata vodim da pješke ne hodim
haznadara da ne spavam sama!
The Town Crier Is Shouting
From dawn till dusk, the town crier is shouting
Let he who has spent the night at the mansion
Not leave the mansion too early!
The concubine of the Pasha ran away
And took two piles of his treasure
And stole a watch from his belt
And took a horse from his stable
And took away Mujo, his treasure keeper
The Pasha’s guard came upon her that first night
Why did you escape concubine of the Pasha?
Why did you take two piles of the treasure?
Why did you steal the watch from the belt?
Why did you take the horse from the stable?
Why did you take Mujo the treasure keeper?
I carry the treasure so I don't beg along the way
I carry the watch not to be late somewhere
I bring the horse so I don't walk on foot
And the treasure keeper not to sleep alone!
