lyrics
Lipa zelenela je,
tam v dišečem gaju,
s cvetjem me posipala,
d’jal sem da sem v raju.
Kot ti ko prosiš.
Lipa, lipa.
Veje raztezavala,
k nebu je visoko tja do srda.
Da me nebi izprašala,
kaj je z mano in kje sem bil, kaj sem stril,
kje sem bil, kaj sem stril,
kdaj se bom nje spet ognil?
Meni pa je do srca,
segala globoko.
Revica pa je sedaj,
skoraj ovenela.
Cvetje, listje zeleno,
zima ji je vzela.
Kot ti ko prosiš.
Lipa, lipa.
Translation (by Jaka Škapin):
The linden tree grew green,
there in the fragrant grove,
she showered me with blossoms,
as I professed my blissful mode.
Like you when pleading.
The linden tree.
Stretching her branches,
up high to the sky and wrath,
questioning me,
about my inner doing and path,
my inner doing doing and path,
and when will I evade her next?
Yet into my heart,
she reached deeply.
The poor thing,
now almost withered.
Blossoms, leaves of green,
taken by the winter.
Like you when pleading.
The linden tree.
