The Bonny Swans

A farmer there lived in the north countryA hey ho bonny oAnd he had daughters one, two, threeThe swans swim so bonny oThese daughters they walked by the river's brimA hey ho bonny oThe eldest pushed the youngest inThe swans swim so bonny o

Oh sister, oh sister, pray lend me your handWith a hey ho a bonny oAnd I will give you house and landThe swans swim so bonny oI'll give you neither hand nor gloveWith a hey ho a bonny oUnless you give me your own true loveThe swans swim so bonny o

Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swamWith a hey ho and a bonny oUntil she came to a miller's damThe swans swim so bonny o

The miller's daughter, dressed in redWith a hey ho and a bonny oShe went for some water to make some breadThe swans swim so bonny o

Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swanWith a hey ho and a bonny oIt's very like a gentle womanThe swans swim so bonny oThey placed her on the bank to dryWith a hey ho and a bonny oThere came a harper passing byThe swans swim so bonny o

He made harp pins of her fingers fairWith a hey ho and a bonny oHe made harp strings of her golden hairThe swans swim so bonny oHe made a harp of her breast boneWith a hey ho and a bonny oAnd straight it began to play aloneThe swans swim so bonny o

He brought it to her father's hallWith a hey ho and a bonny oAnd there was the court, assembled allThe swans swim so bonny oHe laid the harp upon a stoneWith a hey ho and a bonny oAnd straight it began to play loneThe swans swim so bonny o

And there does sit my father the KingWith a hey ho and a bonny oAnd yonder sits my mother the QueenThe swans swim so bonny oAnd there does sit my brother HughWith a hey ho and a bonny oAnd by him William, sweet and trueThe swans swim so bonny oAnd there does sit my false sister, AnneWith a hey ho and a bonny oWho drowned me for the sake of a manThe swans swim so bonny o

Lijepi labudovi

Farmer je živio na sjevernom krajuA hej ho lijepo oI imao kći, jednu, drugu, trećuLabudovi su plivali tako lijepoTe kćeri su hodale tik uz rijekuA hej ho lijepo oNajstarija gurnula najmlađuLabudovi su plivali tako lijepo

Oh, sestro, oh sestro, molim da mi daš rukuSa hej ho lijepo oI ja dat ću ti kuću i zemljuLabudovi su plivali tako lijepoNeću ti dati ni ruku ni rukavicuSa hej ho lijepo oAko mi ne daš svoju ljubav jedinuLabudovi su plivali tako lijepo

Sad je tonula, sad je plutalaSa hej ho lijepo oDok nije došla do brane mlinaraLabudovi su plivali tako lijepo

Mlinareva kći, obučena u crvenoSa hej ho lijepo oOtišla po vode da napravi kruhLabudovi su plivali tako lijepo

Oh oče, o tata, tamo labud plivaSa hej ho i lijepo oKao nježna žena izgledaLabudovi su plivali tako lijepoNa obalu je položiše da je osušeSa hej ho i lijepo oTamo je je prolazio svirač harfeLabudovi su plivali tako lijepo

Od njenih prstiju lijepih napravio je harfi igleSa hej ho i lijepo oOd njene kose zlatne načinio je žiceLabudovi su plivali tako lijepoOkvir harfe je savio od njene prsne kostiSa hej ho i lijepo oI odmah je počela sama sviratiLabudovi su plivali tako lijepo

I donio ju je dvore njenog ocaSa hej ho i lijepo oTamo se skupila cijela svitaLabudovi su plivali tako lijepoPoložio je harfu na kamenSa hej ho i lijepo oI odmah je počela svirati samaLabudovi su plivali tako lijepo

I tamo sjedi moj otac kraljSa hej ho i lijepo oI pokraj sjedi moja majka kraljicaLabudovi su plivali tako lijepoI tamo sjedi moj brat HugoSa hej ho i lijepo oI pored njega Viliam pošten i dragLabudovi su plivali tako lijepoI tamo sjedi moja lažna sestra AnaSa hej ho i lijepo oKoja me potopila zbog muškarcaLabudovi su plivali tako lijepo
