The hamlet of the white clothes

Versions: #1
Oh! River, do not complain!
Oh!! Soap doesn’t kill!
Oh! It even cleanses the fish!
Oh! It renders us silver!
 
Clothes blushing on the mount
Look at it, so white and light
It gives an idea to whoever regards it:
Look carefully, the snow has fallen!
 
Cold water from the brook:
Cold water that the sun has heated
Old hamlet, bring the idea
White clothes that we have stretched
 
Three bodices, an apron, seven pillowcases and a blanket
Three shirts from the trousseau
Which the customer gave to the roster!
 
Oh! River, do not complain!
Oh!! Soap doesn’t kill!
Oh! It even cleanses the fish!
Oh! It renders us silver!
 
Look at the trousseau:
Look carefully, the blue of hope!
It bears resemblance to a dovecote
Look, what white doves!
 
Cold water from the brook:
Cold water that the sun has heated
Old hamlet, bring the idea
White clothes that we have stretched
 
Three bodices, an apron, seven pillowcases and a blanket
Three shirts from the trousseau
Which the customer gave to the roster!
 
Oh! River, do not complain!
Oh!! Soap doesn’t kill!
Oh! It even cleanses the fish!
Oh! It renders us silver!
 
A crude fabric sheet
Look at it, so well washed
We slept on it, me and you
Look at it, it has the colour of linen
 
Cold water from the brook:
Cold water that the sun has heated
Old hamlet, bring the idea
White clothes that we have stretched
 
Three bodices, an apron, seven pillowcases and a blanket
Three shirts from the trousseau
Which the customer gave to the roster!
 

Green Corn, Green Corn

Green corn, green corn...
Ah, green corn, green corn!
Ah, cob of green corn!
Under the green corn's shadow,
Ah, under the green corn's shadow
I spent time with a young maiden!
 
Green corn, green corn...
Ah, green corn, green corn!
Ah, tiny green corn!
Under the green corn's shadow,
Ah, under the green corn's shadow
I spent time with a young man!
 
Green corn, green corn...
Ah, green corn, green corn!
Ah, green corn with wide leaves!
Under the green corn's shadow,
Ah, under the green corn's shadow
I spent time with a married woman!
 
Peasants who weed out my corn fields...
Ah, peasants who weed out my corn fields!
Ah, weed out my corn fields really well!
Do not look towards the road...
Ah, do not look towards the road
For the afternoon meal is being brought!
 
Green corn, green corn...
Ah, green corn, green corn!
Ah, cob of green corn!
Under the green corn's shadow,
Ah, under the green corn's shadow
I spent time with a young maiden!
 

Oh Time, Go Back

Severa left.
For me, all time stopped.
The past that left with her
Never came back to me.
 
To me, hours are full days,
To me, hours are full days,
To me, days are full years.
Reminiscing and longing,
Reminiscing and longing,
Longing becomes disappointment...
 
[Chorus:]
Oh time, go back!
Bring (back) to me everything I lost...
Have pity and give me that life,
That life that I have already spent!
 
Oh time, go back,
Kill my vain hopes.
Realise that even the sun itself
Has to come back every morning!
Realise that even the sun itself
Has to come back every morning!
 
Why is it that the past
And love itself are so similar?
Why is it that love,
Once it's gone, won't come back?
 
But for me, Severa,
But for me, Severa
Is the very echo of my footsteps!
I keep longing and sadness waiting,
I keep longing and sadness waiting
That she will come back to my arms!
 
[Chorus:]
Oh time, go back!
Bring (back) to me everything I lost...
Have pity and give me that life,
That life that I have already spent!
 
Oh time, go back,
Kill my vain hopes.
Realise that even the sun itself
Has to come back every morning!
Realise that even the sun itself
Has to come back every morning!
