3. Battle of Zenica-Great.
Radivoje picked up a yellow banner:
He goes to war against busurmana.
And Dalmata, envied our troops,
His long mustache twisted,
On Bekrenev donned their caps
And they said: “Take us with him:
We want to fight Busurmanov”.
Radivoje kindly took them
And he said to them: "Welcome!»
We crossed the protected river,
They began to burn Turkish villages,
And the Jews hanged on trees.
Beglerbey with their Bosnjak
Against us came from Banjaluka;
But as soon as their horses neighing,
And the sun of their scimitars
Sparkled in Zenica-Great,
Traitors fled Dalmata;
We then surrounded Radivoya
And they said: “The Lord God will help,
We are home to the gate with you
And explain this battle for our children”.
Smote we then brutally,
Every one of us three soldiers cost;
Blood were covered with our swords
With the tip of the handle itself.
But when, after the river became
A compact group, we cross,
Selihtar with wing hit us
With the new army, with horsemen fresh.
Radivoje said then we: “Children,
Too much-Busurmanov dogs,
We cope with them is impossible.
Who does not hurt, Run to the forest rather
And saves it from Selihtara”.
All something we had twenty,
All friends, native Radivoje,
But here, we fell nineteen;
Shouted George Radivoje:
“you sit down, Radivoj, somewhat quicker
A horse of my raven;
Swim across the river to cross,
The horse you from perdition vymchit”.
Radivoje George did not listen,
I sat down, cross-legged.
Here the enemies it collided,
Beheaded Radivoje.
4. Theodore and Helena
………………………
………………………
Stamati was old and powerless,
And Elena is young and agile;
It is so something pushed him away,
That he went groaning so lame.
According to the business you, old shameless!
Ai to grandmother! I got off nicely!
Here Stamati began to think a thought:
As he might destroy Elena?
He comes to the Jew villain,
From him he demands the Board.
The Jew said,: “Go to the cemetery,
Seek out a stone toad
In a pot bring me here”.
At the cemetery comes Stamati,
I found under a stone frog
And it brings a pot Jew.
Jew to shed water frog,
It is named toad Ivan
(Sin great Christian name
Nareschy such animal pohanoy!).
They all then stabbed toad,
And her - her blood Well watered;
water, They forced the toad
Lick ripe plum.
And the boy said the Stamati:
“Take you that Elena plum
From my niece as a gift”.
He brought the boy to Elena plum,
And Elena immediately ate it.
Only ate rotten plum,
It seemed poor young women,
That the serpent in her stomach moves.
Frightened young Elena;
She called her younger sister.
That her milk drunk,
But the serpent in the stomach all the stir.
Constant swelling prekrasnaya Elena,
steel bait: Elena Brugge.
What else will she her husband,
How he will come back from the sea!
And Elena was ashamed and weeps,
And the street vydti dares,
sitting day, at night she can not sleep,
Sister constantly repeats:
"What shall I say dear husband?»
Year-round passes, and - Theodore
He returned to their aside.
The whole village ran to meet him,
His Privetnoye congratulate;
But the crowd did not see it Elena,
No matter how he is looking through her eyes.
"Where's Elena?"Finally, he said the;
who embarrassed, and who sneered,
But no one answered not a word.
He came to his house - and sees,
He is sitting on the bed of his Elena.
"Get up, Helen", says Theodore.
she got, - he looked sternly.
“You are my lord, I swear to god
And the name of Mary-pure,
Pre you I do not vynovata,
They spoiled me evil people”.
But Theodore's wife did not believe:
He cut off her head on her shoulders.
Otsekshi, He himself said the:
“I do not sgublyu innocent baby,
Take out of it his living,
When you educate yourself will.
I'll see, to whom he is like,
So perhaps his father know
And kill his villain”.
He ripped open the dead body.
Well! - the place dear child,
He is a black toad.
Theodore Vzvыl: “Woe is me, killer!
I ruined Elena vain:
Before me she was innocent,
A spoiled her evil people”.
He raised his head Elena,
I began to kiss her tenderly,
And the dead lips opened,
Head Elena proveschal:
“January innocent. Gide and old Stamati
Black toad me okormili”.
Then her lips closed again,
And the tongue stopped moving.
And Theodore Stamati stabbed,
A Jew killed, like a dog,
And I read the burial service for his wife requiem.
5. Vlach in Venice
As I left the Paraskovja,
And as I scrolled with sadness,
Here Dalmat came to me crafty:
“Go, Dmitriy, marine city you,
there sequins, we have stones.
There are soldiers in silk caftans,
And just drink so walk;
Soon there you get rich
And gates in embroidered dolimane
With a dagger on a silver chain.
And then that play themselves on the harp;
Belle will run to the windows
And you will shower gifts.
Hey, hearken! Go sea;
gate, when the get rich”.
I listened to the evil Dalmata.
Here I live in this marble boat.
But I'm bored, bread them to me, like a stone,
I captivity, like a dog on a leash.
Above me a woman laugh,
When the word I in our molvlyu;
Our is a forgotten language,
Forgotten and our own custom;
I wilted, as the bush transplanted.
As we happened I meet,
hear: "Hello, Dmitry Alexeitch!»
This is not the kind of greeting I hear,
Not rain kind word;
Here, I do a poor Murashka,
Named to the lake storm.
