SUN
Sun, hey!
A girl spoke to the Sun:
“Hey, Sun, I’m fairer than you, so come out onto your heavens.
And I will come out and bathe in waters. Then we will know who's fairer.”
Come morning, when the Sun came out and saw the girl dancing on the water
It fell in love and took her up into his sky where she became a Morning star!
Sun, hey!
Adaptation of:
SUNCE SE DEVOJKOM OŽENI
Djevojka je suncu govorila:
"Jarko sunce, ljepša sam od tebe!
Ako li se tome ne vjeruješ,
ti izađi na to ravno nebo,
ja ću izić za goru na vodu."
Kada jutro vedro osvanulo,
izlazilo na nebo sunašce,
a djevojka za goru na vodu.
Ugleda je lijepo sunašce,
ugleda je kroz jelovo granje:
kol'ko se je ašik učinilo,
triput je se sunce zaigralo,
pa odvuče lijepu djevojku,
da je uzme sebi za ljubovcu, —
od nje posta zvijezda Danica.
