Lyrics

From https://lyricstranslate.com/en/%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0-samodiva-nymph.html

Вино съм младо,
младо и буйно,
вино съм силно и руйно.
Пият ме млади,
млади ергени
луди лудеят по мене.
Бяла съм люта
люта ракия
който от мене отпие
той ще забрави
забрави дома си името свое и рода си.

Припев:
Който не вярва - да види
в Пирина нека отиде
дето раснат самодиви,
дето раснат самодиви
като мене все красиви.

2. Вино съм младо,
младо и буйно,
вино съм силно и руйно.
Пият ме млади,
млади ергени
луди лудеят по мене.
Щерка съм лична
лична на Струма
дума на който
на който продумам
с друга не ще се не ще се залюби
себе си той сам ще погуби.

Припев:
Който не вярва - да види
в Пирина нека отиде
дето раснат самодиви,
дето раснат самодиви
като мене все красиви.

Samodiva

Vino săm mlado,
mlado i bujno,
vino săm silno i rujno.
Pijat me mladi,
mladi ergeni
ludi ludejat po mene.
Bjala săm ljuta
ljuta rakija
kojto ot mene otpie
toj šte zabravi
zabravi doma si imeto svoe i roda si.

Pripev:
Kojto ne vjarva - da vidi
v Pirina neka otide
deto rasnat samodivi,
deto rasnat samodivi
kato mene vse krasivi.

2. Vino săm mlado,
mlado i bujno,
vino săm silno i rujno.
Pijat me mladi,
mladi ergeni
ludi ludejat po mene.
Šterka săm lična
lična na Struma
duma na kojto
na kojto produmam
s druga ne šte se ne šte se zaljubi
sebe si toj sam šte pogubi.

Pripev:
Kojto ne vjarva - da vidi
v Pirina neka otide
deto rasnat samodivi,
deto rasnat samodivi
kato mene vse krasivi.Nymph
1. I'm young wine,
young and wild,
I'm rich, red wine.
the young drink me,
unmarried men,
they lose their minds because of me.
I'm clear and hot
hot rakiya*
whomever drinks from me
will forget
his home, his name, and his family.

Chorus:
Those who don't believe - should witness
should come to Pirin
where nymphs are raised
where nymphs are raised
all pretty like me.

2. I'm young wine,
young and wild,
I'm rich, red wine.
the young drink me,
unmarried men,
they lose their minds because of me.
I am the very daughter
of the Struma River.
Those whom I dare speak to
won't fall in love with anyone else
they will ruin themselves.

Chorus:
Those who don't believe - should witness
should come to Pirin
where nymphs are raised
where nymphs are raised
all pretty like me.

Dojdi, dojdi, libe le, doma na večera.
Oh, libe le doma na večera.
Libe, libe, libe le doma na večera.
Vrazi Konče, libe le, za vita kalina.
Ta se kači, libe le, gore na čardaci
Ta da vidiš, libe le, mama kak me gali.
Mene gali, libe le, tebe spomenuva.

Come beloved to my house for dinner.
Tie your little horse to the highest rowan berry
Walk up the stairs upon the terrace
To see how my mother coddles me
How she touches me and about you she talks
