Sága krásy – Ej na tarki English lyrics translated

Ej na tarki by Saga Krasy is a Slovak folk song. Here are the lyrics translated to English.

Ey, for blackthorns, for blackthorns,
with a basket for blackthorns.

I’ll throw the basket into a ditch,
I’ll jump into dance.
I’ll throw the basket into a ditch,
I’ll jump into dance.

Ey, for blackthorns, for blackthorns,
with a basket for blackthorns.

The blackthorns were green,
and the lads were wild.
The blackthorns were green,
and the lads were wild.

Ey, for blackthorns, for blackthorns,
under the shed for blackthorns.

All of them got dark,
and fell into the ditch.
All of them got dark,
and fell into the ditch.

Ey, the musicians are going to play,
how should I prepare?
When my boyfriend is not here,
with whom will I dance?

Ey, if I don’t have one then I don’t,
but I will find one.
Because tonight I will meet many lads.
Ey, if I don’t have one then I don’t,
but I will find one.
Because tonight I will meet many lads.

Ey, I will meet many lads.
Well, I will find a boyfriend for tonight.

Ey, play musicians, play dammit.
Ey, I want to dance so much,
that now I’m shaking.

Ey, play musicians, play dammit.
Ey, I want to dance so much,
that now I’m shaking.
