Lyrics (BEL):
Paludnica
Sonca ŭ mora koci-kocicca,
Kocicca - nia ŭtopi-ŭtopicca,
Na nieba varo-varocicca,
Oj, žyta ŭrodzicca.
1.
Oj, smaha, spjakota, ciažkaja rabota.
Cieraz mora žyta by snicca plyvie-plyvie žar-Paludnica.
Jaje tkali sonečnyja krosny. Ahnjavoki pozirk, stan dzivosny.
Kvietki pierad joj sastupajuć, kalasy halovy schiliajuć… joj.
Pr.
Pach miadunicy, chop-chopić žurycca,
Hora-hara, hora-hara, hora haravać,
Lepš Paludnicu, čara-čaraŭnicu,
Pieretanca-pieretanca-pieretanca-pieretancavać!
Sonca ŭ mora koci-kocicca,
Kocicca - da nia ŭto…
Śviataja Ahata, na žyvy bahata,
pa carkvach-kasciolach harać sviečy na prastolach,
dzień i noč u pomač.
2.
Oj, sonca palae, a jaje niby nie kranaje.
Tak jana smiajecca, kružycca, što i mnie ŭžo niespynicca.
Ja amaĺ znasisileny spjakotaj, ale tanču z hetaju istotaj,
A jana jašče prybaŭliaje, maja stoma tak zabauĺlaje… jaje.
Pr.
Sonca ŭ mora koci-kocicca,
Kocicca - da nia ŭto…
Translation (ENG):
Paludniсa
The sun’s roll-rolling into the sea,
Roll-rolling — never drown-drowning.
It will be go-going back to the sky,
so that we have a rich harvest of rye.
1. Oh thirst, oh the heat
oh, neck-breaking work.
Across the sea of rye she drifts like a waking dream:
the fiery Paludnica.
She is woven from the sun itself,
a flame-eyed gaze, a wondrous stature.
Before her, flowers part in silence,
the ears of grain bow low their heads to her.
Ref.
The scent of honeywort,
enough of sorrow,
enough of grief and grieving,
Better the Paludnica, the enchantress,
be outdanced, outdanced, outdanced!
2. Oh, the sun is blazing,
but as if it does not touch her.
She laughs and spins so wildly
that I can no longer stop.
I am almost spent by the heat,
yet I dance with this being still —
and she only speeds it up,
my weariness entertains her.
Ref.
The scent of honeywort,
enough of sorrow,
enough of grief and grieving,
Better the Paludnica, the enchantress,
be outdanced, outdanced, outdanced!
The sun’s roll-rolling into the sea,
Roll-rolling — never drown-drowning.
