NEZAKONSKA MATI
Kaj pa je tebe treba bilo,
dete ljubó, dete lepó!
meni mladi deklici,
neporočeni materi? -
Oča so kleli, tepli me,
mati nad mano jokáli se;
moji se mene sram'váli so,
tuji za mano kazali so.
On, ki je sam bil ljubi moj,
on, ki je pravi oča tvoj;
šel je po svéti, Bóg ve kam;
tebe in mene ga je sram!
Kaj pa je tebe treba bilo;
dete ljubó, dete lepó!
Al te je treba bilo, al ne,
vender presrčno ljúbim te.
Meni nebö odprto se zdi,
kadar se v tvoje ozrem oči,
kadar prijazno nasmejaš se,
kar sem prestala, pozabljeno je.
On, ki ptíce pod nebam živi,
naj ti dá srečne, vesele dni!
Al te je treba bilo, al ne,
vedno bom srčno ljubila te.
Prevod na engleski:
THE UNMARRIED MOTHER
What was the need of you, little one,
My baby dear, my darling son,
To me - a girl, a foolish young thing,
A mother without a wedding ring?
My father cursed and beat me,
My mother in tears would entreat me;
My friends would blush and pass me by,
Strangers pointed at me on the sly.
And he who was my own true love -
Your father by the will above -
He wanders God knows how far from here.
Shamed because of us, poor dear.
What was the need of you, little one,
My baby dear, my darling son?
But whether there was need or no,
With all my heart I love you so.
There seem to open azure skies
Whene'er I look into your eyes;
And when on me you sweetly smile,
All I've suffered is gone for a while.
May He, by whom the birds are fed,
Joy and blessings on you shed!
Whether there was need or no,
With all my heart I love you so.
