Kosovo girl

The Kosovar girl is the heroine of the Serbian epic, the most famous allegory of Serbia and the main symbol of Serbian culture.

The girl-sister got up early
From Kosovo, from a wide field,
Sunday before sunrise.
Roll up the sleeves of my shirt
Rolled up to the elbows to the whites;
He carries wheat bread on his shoulders,
And in the hands of the jugs of gold.
Scarlet wine plays in one
And in the other - cold water.
So it goes through the Kosovo field,
Young, on a dirty field,
Where Lazarus, the honest prince, fought,
It touches the bloodied fighters.
And who will she find alive
Washes with cold water,
He communes with his scarlet wine,
She feeds the wounded with white bread.
The girl came across a Yunak,
Orlovich Pavel young,
Standard bearer of the sovereign of the Serbs.
Pavel was alive, but he could hardly breathe,
[...]
Yunaka girl washes,
Washes with cold water
Communicates with his scarlet wine
And gives him white bread.
