Notes
Womanís lament.
The men of the village were all away at war,
leaving the women and children alone.
Enemy soldiers attacked.
The women successfully defended their village, but many died.
The song tells of their grieving.
A very powerful dance for womens circles.
Words in English
We said we could sing here.
Do it evening or high noon.
We sisters fought alongside the men.
And we both mourned one of them.
Dalmatians, you are brave soldiers.
You fought bravely in Lika.
Words in Native Tongue
/Mi smo rekle zapjevati ovde/
/Dilo vece, bilo usrijed podne./
/Mi smo seke skupa vojovale./
/A za jedmim obe tugovale./
/Dalmatinci, hrabri ste vojneci./
/Hrabro ste se broili u Lika./
