Songs of the Western Slavs

14. Sister and brother.

Two dubochka vyrostayut close,
Between them tonkoverhaya tree.
Not two oak near vyrostayut,
Lived together two brother home:
one Paul, and the other Radula.
And between them their sister Elitsa.
Brother and sister loved with all my heart,
All it shows mercy;
Finally she gave a knife
Gilded in silver.
Upset young Pavliha
on zolovku, she became jealous
Says she Radulov Lyuba:
“Nevestushka, by god sister!
Do you know this zeliya,
That sister omerzela brothers?”
Radulov, any responsible:
“For God is my sister, sister in law,
I do not know this zeliya;
If only she knew, you had not told;
And I loved my brothers,
And it all shows mercy”.
Here Pavliha went to the watering,
Yes zarezala horse Voronoho
And he said to his master:
“Myself you love to do evil sister,
On the trouble you give her gifts:
she has exhausted horse raven”.

He became Elitsa pry Paul:
"For it? say, for God's sake ".
Sister, brother, weeping answers:
“Not me, brother, I swear to you my life,
By your life and mine”.
At that time the brother sister believed.
Here Pavliha went into the garden green,
There stabbed the Gray falcon
And he said to his master:
“Myself you love to do evil sister,
On the trouble you are giving her presents:
After all ÎÍÀ falcon stabbed”.
He became Elitsa pry Paul:
"For it? say, for God's sake ".
Sister, brother, weeping answers:
“Not me, brother, I swear to you my life,
By your life and mine!”
And at that time the brother sister believed.
Here Pavliha late in the evening
The knife had stolen his sister-in
And his baby stabbed
In his gilded cradle.
Early in the morning to her husband ran,
Loud wailing and face goading.
“Myself you love to do evil sister,
On the trouble you are giving her presents:
We pinned it baby.
And even when you do not believe me,
Look around you knife her zlacheny”.
Paul stood up, I heard it,
I ran to the parlor in Elitsa:
Perry rested Elitsa,
In the minds of the knife hung zlacheny.
From its sheath, Paul took it, —
Knife zlacheny was all bloodied
He pulled her sister's hand Belo:
“Oh, sister, God kill you!
You exhausted horse raven
And in the garden falcon stabbed,
But for that you stabbed a child?”
Sister, brother, weeping answers;
“Not me, brother, I swear to you my life,
By your life and mine!
Well if you do not believe my oath,
Lead me in the open field,
Adhere to the tails of horses, greyhounds,
Let them my white body
Torn into four parts”.
At that time, sister brother did not believe;
He brought it into the open field,
Tied to the tails of horses, greyhounds
And drove them along the open field.
Where a drop of her blood hit,
There rose red flowers;
Where her body was white,
Church there he built on it.
It took little time after,
Zahvorala Young Pavlyha.
Nine years Pavliha everything is ill, —
Grass grew through her bones,
To the bitter grass snakes nest,
Drinks her eyes, he goes to night.
Fiercely strazhdet young Pavlyha;
She says to his master:
“Do you hear, you are my lord, Paul,
Take me to church Zolovkina,
At that church maybe heal”.
He led her to a sister's church,
And they were already close,
Suddenly they heard the voice of the Church:
“not included, young Pavliha,
Here you will have no healing”.
As she heard the young Pavliha,
She rumor his master:
“You are my lord! I beg you God,
Do not lead me to the White House,
A Tie me to the tails of your horses
And let them in the open field”.
His Luba obeyed Paul,
He tied her to the tails of their horses
And drove them along the open field.
Where a drop of her blood hit,
Terni grown there but nettles;
Where her body was white,
On the spot lake failed.
Raven horse floats on the lake,
For horse zolochenaya pipe,
falcon bird sits on the cradle,
Lies in the cradle a little boy;
Mother's hand under his neck,
To the aunt's knife hand gilded.

15. Yanyshev prince.

I fell in love with the prince Yanyshev
Young beauty Elitsa,
He loves her two red summer,
In the third summer he even think to marry
on Lyubuse, Czech princess.
With any old is he just.
She brings with gold coins cheres,
Yes rattlesnakes gold earrings,
Yes pearl necklace triple;
it himself, he put his gold earrings,
Imposed on the neck necklace,
He gave her hand with gold coins cheres,
In both cheeks he kissed silently
And he went on his way.
As one remains Elitsa,
Money down she pometat,
From the ears pulled the earrings,
Necklace, two severed,
A single kinulasʹ in Morava.
There, at the bottom of the young Jelica
Water queen ochnulas
And she gave birth to a little girl,
And she called ee Vodyanytsey.

Here are three years and Bole,
The prince goes hunting,
He goes along the shore of the Morava;
He wanted the horse raven
Beverages icy water.
But as soon as zapenennuyu face
Thrust horse in cold water,
Suddenly popped out of the water pen:
Grabbed the horse by the bridle gold!
The horse jerked his head back in a fright,
In uzde hanging Vodyanytsa,
As the oud caught fish, —
The horse turned on pure meadow,
Shaking uzdoy gold;
But can not shake off Aqueous.
Little prince remained sitting in the saddle,
Slightly kept raven horse,
Laying siege to a mighty hand.
Aqueous jumped on the grass.
Yanyshev tells her prince:
“Tell, What you's creation:
The woman gave birth to you l,
Or god damn Vila?”
Aqueous meets him:
“I gave birth to young Elitsa.
My father Yanyshev prince,
A name is me Vodyanytsey”.

The king's son in this answer
Soskochyl with horse Voronoho,
He hugged his daughter Aqueous
AND, bursting into tears, said the:
“Where, tell, your mother Jelica?
I have heard, she drowned”.
Aqueous meets him;
“My mother was the queen of water;
It governs all the rivers,
Over the rivers and over the lakes;
Only it does not dominate the blue sea,
Blue sea dominates Div-Fish”.
Vodyanytse molvyl prince:
“So go to the queen of the water
And tell her: Yanyshev prince
She sends zealous bow
And it asks goodbye
On the green shores of the Morava.
Tomorrow I'll pick the answer”.
They parted after.
