Notes
see also Snake Dance
The words to the song refer to twining vines,
an ancient earth people form seen in dance,
in fabric and on vases,
aligned with the serpentine spreading life associated with the
ancient mother goddess.
Words in English
The white wine grapevine wound around
the fence.
Todar tricked Toda,
kissed the girl three times.
That was not the fair grapevine
around the fence.
Rather, that was two lovers,
two lovers.
Words in Native Tongue
Savila se bela loza vinova
/Uz tarabu vinova./
CHORUS
/Todo Todi podvalio
tri put curu poljubio./
To ne bese bela loza vinova.
/uz tarabu vinova./
Vec to bese dvoje mili i dragi,
/dvoje mili i dragi./
Alternate last verse
Vec to bilo dvoje milo i drago,
/dvoje milo i drago./
