Old song from the Velebit:Koja Gora Ivo

Ive heard this song on you tube and some of the words are not in the Serbo-Croat dictionary. Would someone provide me with the translation??

Puno hvala za vas pomoc...

================================
Koja gora, Ivo

Koja gora, Ivo, koja gora, Ivane,
Koja gora, brate Ivo, razgovora nema

Velebite, Ivo, Velebite, Ivane,
Velebite, brate Ivo, razgovora nema

Velebite, sestro, Velebite, sestrice,
Velebite, sestro mila, razgovora nema

Vran planina, sejo, vran planina, sestrice,
Vran planina, sestro Maro, razgovora nema

Prođe Pavle, Ivo, prođe Pavle, Ivane,
Prođe Pavle brate Ivo, pa je razgovara

I provede, Ivo, i provede, Ivane,
I provede, brate Ivo, konja malenoga

I na konju, Ivo, i na konju, Ivane,
I na konju, brate Ivo, brata ranjenoga

Which forest, Ivo

Which forest, Ivo, which forest, Ivan
Which forest, brother Ivo, there isn't talk

Velebit, Ivo, Velebit, Ivan,
Velebit, brother Ivo, there isn't talk

Velebit, sister, Velebit, little sister,
Velebit, dear sister, there isn't talk

Black mountain, sister, black mountain, little sister,
Black mountain, sister Mara, there isn't talk

Pavle passed, Ivo, Pavle passed, Ivan,
Pavle passed brother Ivo, so he talks to her

And takes, Ivo, and takes, Ivan,
And takes, brother Ivo, a little horse with him

And on the horse, Ivo, and on the horse, Ivan,
And on the horse, brother Ivo, stricken brother!

I hope you will understand it! "Velebit" is a mountain; Ivo, Ivan, Pavle, Mara are names

Puno hvala Gago, za tvoj povest. Moj stari dedo je tu pesmu uvjek peval. Mislin da ta pesma je bila od drugoga svetska rata. - Prijatno… Bozidar

Vran planina is in translation something like black mountain, but that is actually the name - Vran mountain, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9IlgTnjk9Y


razgovora nema - no talking
brata ranjenoga - wounded brother

In Serbia or Montenegro we would say:

"Puno hvala Gago, za tvoj povest. Moj stari dedo je tu pesmu uvjek peval. Mislin da ta pesma je bila od drugoga svetska rata"

Hvala puno Gago za tvoju povest (povjest). Moj stari ded/deda/dedo je uvek pevao tu pesmu/pjesmu. Mislim da je ta pesma (potiče) iz Drugog svetskog rata.

Excuse my bad grammar. My mother was from Banja Luka and my father from Northern Dalmacija. We settled in Amerika when I was 4 years old. We also mixed up the Serbian and Primorski Chakovian languages at home.

Oh, I don't want to sound like a boring teacher I like how you speak I yea, it sound like Dalmatian dialect. If you need help, just ask Božo

Hello Ina:

I heard a lovely song on Mp3 of the Slavonske Lole singing a song called

"Kajo Moja Kajo"

Would you have the lyrics and if possible an English translation ??

Puno hvala - Prijatno...

I found this. You asked for this song?

Kajo moja Kajo

Kajo moja, Kajo
Rumena ružice
Ja zbog tebe moja Kajo
Dopa do tamnice

U gorici Kajo
Sazrilo je grožđe
A na meni moja Kajo
Zarđalo gvožđe

Prodaj moja Kajo
Vinograd i grožđe
A sa mojih ruku skidaj
Zarđalo gvožđe

Prodaj kuću Kajo
Plati advokata
A otvaraj meni Kajo
Od tamnice vrata

Kaja, my Kaja

Kaja, my Kaja
my red rose ("ruddy rose")
Because of you, Kaja
I've been put behind the bars
("I ended up in prison / the dungeon")

In a small forest, Kaja
grapes have ripened
But I, my Kaja,
(put) in rusty irons

Sell, my Kaja
the vineyard and grapes
and take off rusty irons
from my hands (arms)

Sell the house, Kaja
and pay an advocate
and open the door to me, Kaja
the door of the dungeon

Pjevaj mi pjevaj, pjevaj sokole Would anyone translate to English this beautiful song from Lika ??


Pjevaj mi pjevaj, pjevaj sokole
Pjevaj mi pjevaj, šalaj sokole

Ko što si sinoć, sinoć pjevao
Pod moje drage šalaj prozorom

Moja je draga zaspala
Moja je mila draga zaspala
Šalaj zaspala

Studen joj kamen, kamen pod glavom
Ja sam ga izmako i svoju ruku podmako

Pjevaj mi pjevaj, sokole
Pjevaj mi pjevaj, pjevaj sokole
Šalaj sokole

I found the songs. It helps to post the links so others can enjoy the music.

Pjevaj mi pjevaj, pjevaj sokole
Pjevaj mi pjevaj, šalaj sokole

Sing, sing to me, my falcon
Sing, sing to me, shalay, falcon

Ko što si sinoć, sinoć pjevao
Pod moje drage šalaj prozorom

Like you sang the night before
Under the window of my beloved

Moja je draga zaspala
Moja je mila draga zaspala
Šalaj zaspala

My beloved one has fell asleep
My dear beloved one fell asleep
Shalay asleep

Studen joj kamen, kamen pod glavom
Ja sam ga izmako i svoju ruku podmako

Icy feels she the stone, the stone beneath her head
I have removed it and put my arm instead of it

Pjevaj mi pjevaj, sokole
Pjevaj mi pjevaj, pjevaj sokole
Šalaj sokole

Shalay is light motive of the shalay song, it's part of a refrain or lyrics. It's hard to explain what it means.
Soko ( Sokol) is the old-fashioned name for a young, brave, nobel man.
