Common lyrics of Povic mila, povic pravdu with an English translation

Povic mila povic pravdu
Tell me, darling, don’t be proud
dze ja ce navečar najdu
tell me where you can be found

či na lavce či pod lavku
on the bench or somewhere under
a či s milim na zahlavku
or with your dear somewhere yonder

A muj frajir jaki taki
O, my boy is really shy
co me ňikda neoblapi
not much touching in the night

Ňeoblapi ňepobočka
Not much touching, not much kissing
ňebudze mu frajiročka
He’s not someone I’d be mising
ňebudze mu tak tak
No, really no, no!

Dunaju Dunaju hej Dunaju Dunaju
Danube River, Danube river, oh, you speedy Danube river
jaka u ce žimna voda na kraju na kraju
your cold water flowing quickly makes me shiver, makes me shiver!

A ja frajir jaki taki
I, her boy, am really shy,
co ju ňikda ňeoblapi
not much touching in the night

Ňeoblapi ňepobočka
Not much touching, not much kissing
ňebudzem mu frajirka
He’s not someone I’d be missing

Laborcu Laborcu hej Laborcu Laborcu
Laborec, oh, speedy river
jaka u ce žimna voda na koncu na koncu
your cold water makes me shiver!

Aňi ňemož vypovezdec
Words can’t say how great’s my joy
jak s frajirom dobre sedzec
when I’m sitting with my boy!
