Lithuanian music - Rasa Serra - Oi giria giria

[AzzieSempai]

Somehow it sounds cool :)... the language is like... i dont know .. to me it sounds like amixture between french and croatian ...beautiful :)

[welpthisisawkward]

@AzzieSempai To me, it sounds like a mixture of Russian and Turkish. Hn. Maybe not this song as much, as it is slower-paced.. I like your take on it, though.

I love this song and many others that Rasa Serra sings. I've been trying to learn to sing along with them - challenging since I don't know the language! Does anyone know where one can buy or download sheet music for this and similar Lithuanian songs? It would help tremendously to have the music there with the words. For this one the music is pretty simple, but having the words and notes helps to differentiate the syllables, especially between vowels. Thoughts?

Šitan kaimely mane pažadėjo-she promissed me to this village

Per laukelį nuleido-she send me through this village

Jaunam berneliui mane pažadėjo-she promissed me to a young man

Už našlelio nuleido-she gave me to the widower

My English is not that good, but maybe you( who ever is interested in this song) can find it useful.

[vaidilaite]

Oi giria giria, girele žalioji- Oh forest forest, green forest,Pilna raibų paukštelių- full of speckled birds,Ne čia gegutė lizdelį sudėjo-Not here the cuckoo made a net,Ne čia raiba kukavo-not here it was cuckoo,Vyšnių sodely lizdelį sudėjo-it made a net in garden of cherries,Beržynėly kukavo-in the forest of birtches it was cuckoo,Ne čia močiutė mane pažadėjo-my mother promissed me not here(not for this man),Ne čia mane nuleido- it could mean same, not for right man she gave me

@gandalf1949 Hi, it is impossible to translate this song into English without loosing the true and very rich meaning of the words... English language is too simple and it is very hard to convey the gentle way that the singer uses to describe different things..

If you looked closely at the words, you would find that a lot of them have such syllables at the end of the word: "el" "ėl" "ut". In Lithuanian language, it is a way to add "young" "nice" "little" to the word but convey love and

[feastas]

@gandalf1949 and great respect at the same time.

And the very simplified translation might sound like this:

"The little green woods are full of little birds. Not here the little cuckoo built her nest, not here she sang her melodies. In the little garden of cherries she built her nest, in the birch trees she used to sing. Not here my little mother promised (offered) me to a man but in a little village, promised me to a young nice man but then she gave me in marriage to a widower instead..."

[Muxxyy]

@gandalf1949 oh forest forest. forest green, full of colorful birds. not here cuckoo made her nest. not here colorful sang. in cherry garden made her nest, in birch forest sang. not here grandmother made her promisse, not here gave me away. promissed me into this village, gave me away in this field. to a young boy promissed me, gave me away to a widower. - it is a song about young girl's arranged marrage and sorrow. being promissed to young boy but given to an old man instead
