Translation of the song Zginula je pikuša artist Croatian Folk

Zginula je “pikuša”

z devetero prasci,

with nine little piglets,

truoje došlo, troje nie,

three of them have returned, three of them not,

truoje nigdar nuabo.

three of them will never return.

Kanas igra žvieglicu,

pri zelenom grmčecu

by the green bush

ruono pri capašu.

vejč je nigdar nuabo.

K tuomu devet pajcekov

vu vrbju se zmeli,

have fled in the osier bed,

šiest je bilo pikasti,

six of them were dotted,

trie pak črno-bieli.

three of them, however, black and white.

Pikuša je odišla

in order to dig for potatoes,

i dišel se ftapljat.
