and helped her when in the spring we leave the lambs to watch them

53 (a) za da smènu mla stàrite òfce da smènu mlàdite̥ jà òdim

to switch – to switch the old sheep and the young ones. I go

54 (a) i agɤnčàr cèl dèn nò odèlno od ofcète da gi odbìvam

and herd lambs all day, but apart: we weaned them from the ewes.

55 (a) i tekà sɤm pàsla jàgɤnci pòsle sɤm pàsla govèdata

And so I pastured lambs. After that I pastured livestock,

100 (a) izlèznemo od blàgovesti tàm nò jàganci se izjagnìle òvce

We go there at Annunciation, to the lambs, the sheep having given birth,

101 (a) jàganci òvce tàm gi pasù àjde bàba i dèda

up where they’re pasturing the sheep and lambs. And Grandma and Grandpa

102 (a) pàk tàm na košàrutu jà bàba mi

are up there again the summer pen. And I – Granny said to me,

103 (a) ò ednò jàgn’e se bòlno nèkvo mukàvičavo bolù ga nòge

“Oh, [there’s] a sick lamb, [it’s] bad off somehow. Its legs aren’t right.

104 (a) da dòjdeš da ga napòimo səs orlòvi nòkti

You should come up and [help] us feed it with ‘eagle’s talons’.”

109 (a) [laughter] àjde bàba svarìla orlòvi nòkti jà ìdem onà dṛžì jàgn’eto

So Grandma boiled up the “eagle’s talons”. I go [over] and she holds the lamb

110 (a) jà sipùjem ta ga napòimo tovà ozdravèe jàgn’eto

[while] I pour, and we feed it to it. And the lamb gets better.

112 (a) àjde sɤ̀ga da gi popasèmo da i pùštimo màlko jàgancitȉ

And now it’s time to take them to pasture, to let the little lambs out a bit.

113 (a) pùštimo gi jàgancitȉ jàganci ulòve bṛ̀ze kòj na gdè vìdi

We release the little lambs. The lambs catch [the wind] and rush off, each on its own.

115 (a) i jà jà po n’ì bṛ̀zim bṛ̀zim bṛ̀zim ta gi svì

And I - I’m running after them, running, running, till I’ve surrounded [them],

116 (a) pribrà gi jàganciti a dèda mi se javìl

and gathered up the lambs. Then Grandpa came up –

117 (a) sɤs ovcète oddalèko i me vidèl če bṛ̀zim rèče

he’d been off with the sheep and seen me running. And he said,

118 (a) jà ka te vidò če bṛ̀ziš po jàgancitȉ od ràdoz bi lìtnul

“When I saw you running after the little lambs, I could have leapt with joy.

119 (a) stàr səm ama mìlo me če tṛ̀čaš po jàgancite

I [may be] old, but it’s sweet for me [to see] you running after the lambs.

120 (a) jàganciti bṛ̀ze tì bṛ̀ziš po n’ì

The lambs run off, and you run after them.”

123 (a) mìlo me kat te vidò če bṛ̀ziš po jàganciti [laughter] a dojdè

“I [was so] happy when I saw you running after these lambs.” And he came

124 (a) pa ə mi se ràduje tàm če sɤm bṛzìla po jàgancite

and was so happy that I had been running after the lambs.

125 (a) otišlà sɤm pri n’ì rèko dèdo no jà sɤm došlà

So I went over to them and said, “Grandpa, I’ve [actually] come

126 (a) da gi lekùjemo bàba lì mi kazà da dòjdem da dòjdem

to help treat them. [Didn’t you know that] Grandma told me to come – to come

127 (a) da napòimo jàganciti jàgneto če e mlògo k’òpavo bòlno

so we could feed the lambs, [especially] the lamb that’s sickly and lame?”

It’s true that if you have a lamb you’ve got milk and cheese, but

Otherwise there’s nothing to milk! But [if] you’ve got a lamb, hens,
