Zvira voda iz kamena,
Water springs out of a stone,
hladna studena.
Cold, freezing.
Rasti ruža iz korena,
Rose, grow out of a root,
lepa, črlena.
Beautiful, red.
Divojčica ruže brala,
A girl picked roses,
pak je zaspala.
But she fell asleep.
Poleg jahal mladi junak,
A young hero rode near by,
s' tiha ju budi:
Woke her up quietly:
Stani gori, divojčica,
Get up, girl,
jel' si zaspala.
Because you fell asleep.
Ruže su ti povehnule,
Your roses fade,
ke si nabrala.
The ones you've picked.
Dečki su se oženili,
Boys got married,
ke si ljubila.
The ones you loved.
Se su dekle zamuž 'dišle,
All the girls got husbands,
ke si imela
All the friends you've had.
