LADO - LADARKE 

LADARKE (Emil Cossetto)
I. LADARKE IDO V SELO
Mi nosimo zelen venčec
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado
Zelen venčec z šipkovine
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado
Jaboke tri zlatne na njem
Prvo dajmo v polje naše
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado
Da nam žito gore hodi
Sako zrno da se z množi
Pet vaganov žita dalo
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado
Da nam selo bo veselo
Sakoj hiži nevestica
Sakom momku devojčica
Daj nam Lado lepi Lado
II. PRED STARIM MAJKAMA
Dobro jutro stare majke vašem domu vašem rodu
||: Došle so vam Ivančice
Ivančice devojčice
Dajte dajte stare majke
Probudite kčerke svoje :||
Da doneso ladne vode iza gore Ivanove
||: Da češja jo žute kose
Ivi kose do pojasa
Dajte dajte stare majke
Mi moramo dalje iti :||
Donesite stare majke kaj ste snočka obečale
|||: Kruha sira i pogačo
I pogačo bazlamačo
Dajte dajte stare majke
Kaj nemate to ne dajte :|||
III. IVANJSKA IGRA PRED STARIM MAJKAMA
Jel’ vam se hoće Lado kaj nas bude više
Nam se hoće Lado, nam se hoće kaj nas bude više
Jel’ vam se hoće Lado mladega junaka
Nam se hoće Lado, nam se hoće mladega junaka
RURAL SINGERS (Emil Cossetto)
I. RURAL SINGERS GO TO THE VILLAGE
We carry up woven green wreathes
Give us Lado, lovely Lado
Woven green wreathes of twig and vine
Give us Lado, lovely Lado
These three golden apples for him
The first given fruits from our fields
Give us Lado, lovely Lado
For us this wheat where we walk up
Kernels of grain that multiply
Five wagons full of wheat offered
Give us Lado, lovely Lado
May we have a happy village
May there be a perfect young bride
For every boy a young maiden
Give us Lado, lovely Lado
II. BEFORE THE ANCIENT MOTHERS
A good morning to you old mother, your home and your kinfolk
Midsummer Days have come to you
Midsummer Days with us young girls
Give us, give us, dear old mother
Rouse and awaken your daughters
To help us fetch fresh cold water behind the hill on Saint John’s Day
If they comb out their yellow hair
It reaches unto the belt fringes
Give us, give us, dear old mother
We must continue on our way
To carry on, ancient mothers, what we pledge
Bread, cheese, and loaves
And loaves of basic need
Give us, give us ancient mothers
What is lacking; that, you cannot give
III. MIDSUMMER DANCE BEFORE THE ANCIENT MOTHERS
Victuals you like yourself, O Lado, is what will be in abundance for us
We ourselves like, O Lado, we ourselves like what will be in abundance for us
Victuals you like yourself, O Lado, for youthful heroines
We ourselves like, O Lado, we ourselves like youthful heroines
