Žukadim - Song I

[invinciblend]

A traditional Hivas lullaby sung in a more standard dialect. Here, nemuda is in a dialectical (Hivažukad) form of the imperative - in standard Žukadim it would be said jonemut.

Mužinec Nemuda

Mužinec nemuda
Hémama zut utača
Lukis zut mi četel
U ti su dam mijovel

Mužinec nemuda
Hépape zut utača
Če dobra mi bago
Je ti su šum mijoko

Sleep, baby
Your mama loves you
The moon will watch over you
And you will have peace

Sleep, baby
Your papa loves you
When the sun wakes
You will see all
