6. OLD STANJEL (4. 06) Stari Stanjel

THE CRADLE ROCKS: SHE SMILES AND SINGS
A CUK CRIES OUT ON SILENT WINGS
AND STONE WALLS ECHO WITH THE PAST
THE FATHERS AND THE SONS OF THE KARST
I'LL DRINK WITH YOU AT LOVE'S DEEP WELL
AGAIN, SWEETHEART, IN OLD STANJEL

SEE FOOTPRINTS ON THE PATH OF TIME
WHERE HORSES STAND WITH MEN IN PRIME
HE LIFTS HER HIGH TO REACH THE CART
AND EYE MEETS EYE, AND HEART CAPTURES HEART
AND NONE I KNOW SO DEEPLY FELL
AS I WITH YOU IN OLD STANJEL

LONG BLACK HIS HAIR, AND DARK HIS EYES
WITH STRONG DESIRE TO CLAIM LOVE'S PRIZE
YET HANDSOME STRANGERS NONE MAY TRUST
WHERE WAR TURNS ALL TO BLOOD AND TO DUST
OUR SECRET VOWS TO WHOM CAN WE TELL
THAT I MARRIED YOU IN OLD STANJEL?

OH MOTHER, I'M NO MORE A CHILD
HIS SON I BORE, DARK-EYED AND WILD
SO FATHER, TAKE MY LOVER'S HAND
BESIDE YOUR OWN TO WORK ON THE LAND
AND JOYFULLY LET RING THE BELL
TO SOUND THE PEACE IN OLD STANJEL

YES I'LL DRINK WITH YOU AT LOVE'S DEEP WELL
AGAIN, SWEETHEART, IN OLD STANJEL
