LYRICS (Translation)
There was the little falcon flying,
Aladum ladum, the little falcon.
Through three – four forests,
Aladum ladum, four.
Oh, and the night just suddenly came
Aladum ladum, the night.
There is no place to spend a night for the little falcon
Aladum ladum, for the little falcon.
– Spend this night, the little falcon
Aladum ladum, the little falcon
In the green forest with the cuckoo
Aladum ladum, with the cuckoo
– I don’t know if she’s going to welcome me
Aladum ladum, if she’s going to welcome me
I haven’t been flying together with her
Aladum ladum, haven’t been flying
I didn’t take her motley feather
Aladum ladum, didn’t take it
————————————————-
The young man was riding
Aladum ladum, the young man
Through three – four fields
Aladum ladum, four.
Oh, and the night just suddenly came
Aladum ladum, the night.
There is no place to spend a night for the young man
Aladum ladum, for the young man.
– Spend this night, in the palace of the father in law
Aladum ladum, the young man
In the barn with the young girl
Aladum ladum, with the young girl
– I don’t know if she’s going to welcome me
Aladum ladum, if she’s going to welcome me
I haven’t been dancing with her
Aladum ladum, haven’t been dancing
I didn’t take her golden ring
Aladum ladum, didn’t take it.
