A ČA A ČA
(humorous Serbian song; i first heard it sung by Kolo Folk Ensemble in 1956 )
Kad su se dva Bračanina
Kad rivom prode sjora mande
Kad rivom prode cura fina
(from miriam berg's folk dance song collection)
(Two boys came from Brac)
In trala na fjumeri
(They landed on the coast of the country)
(repeat first two lines)
A ča! a ča! Ča kazu momka dva
(So what! We don't care! say the two boys.)
(repeat this line)
Ma nima nista tvoga
Ma tvoje bračva moja
Ma ferala mi hoj,
Ma sokoliou moj.
(repeat chorus )
(Along the shore came a pretty girl)
I u momka gleda (repeat)
(Who glances at the two boys (repeat two lines))
A ča! a ča! Ča kazu momka dva...
(Along the shore comes a noble girl)
Noši bokal vina
(Carrying a jug of wine.)
A ča! a ča! Ča kazu momka dva\\
Ma hajde cura fina
(Come on, pretty girl,)
Ma daj nam bokal vina
(Give us the jug of wine.)
Nek čila riva zina
(Let the whole shore know)
Za Bračanina dva!
(Of the two boys from Brac!)
