Oj Dido [English translation]

Hey! Once Sławians* went

On fields, behind tamaluses,

Mist lies on meadows

Oh - Dido, oh - Łado**!

Field shines from lights

They were jumping over bonfires

Untill the dawn came bright

Oh - Dido, oh - Łado!

They were dancing and jumping,

Untill withe elders came

Until elders came with advice

Oh - Dido, oh - Łado!

"Enemy is coming with worriors,

You must go to war, brave fighters***!"

They are riding on horses already

Oh - Dido, oh - Łado!

At morning into houses' doorsteps,

Came the Slavic gods

They met in group

Oh - Dido, oh - Łado!

And they stub out the holy candle

And put sword on it

Oh! Sword, a prodigy craft!

Oh - Dido, oh - Łado!
