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..." Translation @feastas

to @gandalf1949 OI GIRIA GIRIA - LYRICS (Lithuanian language) Oi giria giria Girelė žalioji Pilna raibų paukštelių Ne čia gegutė Lizdelį sukrovė Ne čia raiba kukavo Vyšnių sodely Lizdelį sukrovė Beržynėly kukavo Ne čia močiutė Mane pažadėjo Ne čia mane nuleido (išleido už vyro) Šitan kaimely Mane pažadėjo Per laukelį nuleido Jaunam berneliui Mane pažadėjo Už našlelio nuleido (išleido už vyro)

@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.

Tikrai tradicijos gyvuoja ir jas netgi labai jaunimas megsta. Suraskite cia Pašėlę Lietuviški šokiai (diskoteka mokykloje kitaip ) ir pamatysite kaip viskas smagu! ;)
