TESTO DEL LIED

"a Serbian folk-song"
di Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Sevdalino, my little one,
are you still at home, my sweetheart?
You took all my money away,
you took all my money away:
five thousand piastres,
five thousand piastres,
Give me back a little money my sweetheart,
give me back a little money that I might buy a pair of trousers,
I might buy a pair of trousers.
Sevdalino, my little one,
Sevdalino, my little one...
