Translation of the song Zapevala Sojka Ptica artist Serbian Folk

Zapevala sojka ptica,

The jaybird is singing,

Misli zora je, aman aman, misli zora je,

He thinks it's dawn, aman aman, he thinks it's dawn,

Ustaj Kato, ustaj zlato,

Get up Kata, get up, golden one,

Spremaj darove, aman aman, spremaj darove.

Prepare the gifts, aman aman, prepare the gifts.

Jam sam mlada i sirota,

I am young and poor,

Nemam darove, aman aman, nemam darove,

I have no gifts, aman aman, I have no gifts,

Da si mlada i sirota,

If you're young and poor,

Što se udaješ, aman aman, što se udaješ.

Why are you getting married, aman aman,

Udala me stara majka,

My old mother married me off,

Nisam ni znala, aman aman, nisam ni znala,

I didn't know, aman aman, I didn't know,

Zapevala sojka ptica,

The jaybird is singing,

Misli zora je, aman aman, misli zora je.

He thinks it's dawn, aman aman, he thinks it's dawn.

Ustaj Kato, ustaj zlato,

Get up Kata, get up, golden one,

Spremaj darove, aman aman, spremaj darove,

Prepare the gifts, aman aman, prepare the gifts,

Jam sam mlada i sirota,

I am young and poor,

Nemam darove, aman aman, nemam darove.

I have no gifts, aman aman, I have no gifts.

Da si mlada i sirota,

If you're young and poor,

Što se udaješ, aman aman, što se udaješ,

Why are you getting married, aman aman,

Udala me stara majka,

My old mother married me off,

Nisam ni znala, aman aman, nisam ni znala.

I didn't know, aman aman, I didn't know.
