Shatritsa

Ai da nú-da nú-da nái
Da-rá da nú-da nai!
Ai da nú-da nú-da nái
Da-rá da nú-da nai! (x2)

A me djáva pa d’erévnye, pa balshym xátkam,
Syr yanáva balavás chavoré te xan

Chorus:

Ai tu térnori-nie lamáisya
Syr pxenáva lavoró – sabiraisyá!

Chorus:

Ai da shátritsa rogozhytko:
Ande shátritsa chai bidytko.

Chorus:

Little tent (translation):

Da-rá da nú-da nai!
Ai da nú-da nú-da nái
Da-rá da nú-da nai! (x2)

round the big cottages
If I bring pork, the children will eat.

But you young girl – don’t dispair
If I say the little words: Get ready!

Chorus:

Oh the tent is made of sack cloth:
In the tent, there is a forlorn girl.

Chorus:
