about

This Slovenian-Scottish version of a Scottish song called Mickey’s Warning/Blue Bleezin’ Blind Drunk was arranged by Karine Polwart and Katarina Juvančič. Abuse of women knows no linguistic barriers and neither does the courage to leave.

lyrics

SVARILO JANEZU

Pr'jat’li jaz 'mam eno štor'jo

vam zdej jo povedala bom

na urgenco me zakon je spravu

dal potpludbe in dvojni zlom.


Pa bom šla in se fejst ga napila

da vso bolečino utopim

da zberem pogum in si rečem

Janez, jutr' te jaz zapustim.


Ko Janez pride iz šihta

pretepe me kot žival

If I say a word I get battered

From the kitchen right ben to the room.


So I’ll go and I’ll get blue bleezin’ blind drunk

da vso bolečino utopim

da zberem pogum in si rečem

Janez, jutr' te jaz zapustim.


Of whisky I've ne'er been a lover

But what can a poor woman do

zjutri spet treba vstat bo

in se delat, da vse lohk zdržim.


So I’ll go and I’ll get blue bleezin' blind drunk

Just to give you a warning

da zberem pogum in ti rečem

Janez, jutr' te jaz zapustim.
