This a video of Katun Playing a medley of Pajkata and a standard Padjusko for the Ann Arbor Folkdancers on April, 24, 2010. The translation of the amusing Macedonian lyrics goes something like this:

“Uncle said he would marry me off
yesterday he said so, now he doesn’t want to.
Yesterday he said so, now he doesn’t want to;
and Aunt Sava won’t agree to it at all!

They wouldn’t agree and wouldn’t agree,
and finally they did agree.
They betrothed fair Neda
she’s as fair as an Arab,
as thin as a bear.

They put her in the carriage;
the carriage started to creak.
The carriage started to creak;
the buffalo staggered along (pulling it).

When they got going with Neda in it,
it broke in two.
It broke in two,
and the buffalo were frightened.”
