 KETRI, KETRI

Southern Balkans. Used for Čoček with lifts by Steve Kotansky.

Jaj, Ketri, Ketri, ale pala mande,
Ketri, Ketri, phir pala mande,
Av tu pale, bes tu tele,
Av tu pala mande.

Kasaviszan, szar e lulugyorri,
Sukár, sukár, cini lulugyorri,
Losál, losál, murro jilo,
Pasa mande t'avesza.

Ketri, Ketri, dukhal murro jilo,
Ketri, Ketri, pharol murro jilo,
Csumidam me tyiro jilo,
Ale pasa mande.

Ketri, Ketri, sukaresz khel mange,
Ketri, Ketri, gilyabar tu mange,
Gilyabar tu taj khel mange,
Ale pala mande!

Ketri, Ketri, mistoj aba mange,
Mistoj aba vi murre jileszke,
Kaj athe szan, pasa mande, 
Av tu murri romnyorri!

Tu te khelej, losál murro jilo,
Tu te gilyabarej, pharol murro jilo,
Av tu pale, bes tu tele,
Av tu murri romnyi.

Ketri, Ketri, mistoj aba mange,
Mistoj aba vi murre jileszke,
Kaj athe szan, pasa mande, 
Av tu murri romnyorri!

Tu te khelej, losál murro jilo,
Tu te gilyabarej, pharol murro jilo,
Av tu pale, bes tu tele,
Av tu murri romnyi.

//Av tu pale, bes tu tele,
Av tu murri romnyi.//              

 

Ketri, Ketri, come after me,
Ketri, Ketri, live with me,
Come back, sit down here,
Come after me!

You are like a little flower,
Beautiful little flower,
My heart is happy, happy,
Be with me!

Ketri, Ketri, my heart is heavy,
Ketri, Ketri, my heart is breaking,
I will kiss your heart,
Come and sit beside me!

Ketri, Ketri, dance for me,
Ketri, Ketri, sing now for me,
Do sing and dance for me,
Come after me!

Ketri, Ketri, I am already merry,
My heart is also merrier
Because I can see you beside me,
Marry me, be my wife!

When you dance, my heart is happy,
When you sing, my heart breaks
Come back to me,
Marry me, be my wife!

(Last 2 verses repeat)
