Zvonko Bogdan - Hej Salaši na severu Bačke
Hej salasi na severu Backe
u vama su pisme bunjevacke
a tambura tako lipo svira
ko da note par slavuja bira Ni svatova nigdi tak'i nema
ko kad baco 'cer na udaj' sprema
na snasi se bili slajer vije
ko kad zimi snig salas pokrije Hej Bunjevci na sjeveru BackeZvonko Bogdan - Hej Salaši na severu Bačke - http://motolyrics.com/zvonko-bogdan/hej-salasi-na-severu-backe-lyrics-english-translation.html
sacuvajte pisme bunjevacke
pivajte ih jos puno godina
vasa j' grana mala al' je fina I lumpujte al' lipo polako
nek se divi i nek' vidi svako
a nek vranci pokidaju strange
kad se krenu momci na vasange
Zvonko Bogdan - Hej Salaši na severu Bačke (English translation)
Hey salaši * on the north of Bačka**
in you songs of Bunjevci are***
but tambouritza**** sounds so nice,
Like the tones are being chosen by two nightingales..
There are no weddings anywhere like here,
When the father prepares daughter for the wedding,
Sister-in-law adorned with white flowers,
Like the snow-covered salaš in the winter..
Hey Bunjevci on the north of Bačka,
Save the Bunjavac's songs,
Sing them for many years,Zvonko Bogdan - Hej Salaši na severu Bačke - http://motolyrics.com/zvonko-bogdan/hej-salasi-na-severu-backe-lyrics-english-translation.html
Your branch is small, but really nice..
And celebrate, but nice and slowly,
Let others admire and see,
May the sparrows cut strings
Like when boys go to vašange*****
