Spring is in full swing, and »Zeleni Jurij« in translation Green George is coming.
Jurjevo is an important folk holiday celebrated on April 23 or 24. Zeleni Jurij is a mythological hero who brings spring, happiness and abundance. Today, the celebration is liveliest in the Bela Krajina region. Before the start of the celebration, one of the villagers gets dressed in greenery, boys carry a decorated may pole, and the girls wear flowers.
During the celebration, they sing a folk song:
”Prošel je prošel pisani vuzem,
došel je došel zeleni Jure.
Donesel je donesel,
pedenj dugu travicu, lakat dugu mladicu.
Dajte mu dajte!
Jurja darovajte!
Dajte mu pogače, da mu noga poskače!
Dajte mu vina, da ga ne bu zima!
Dajte mu pleče, da vam kaj ne reče!
Dajte mu kruh, da ga ne bu muha!
Dajte mu rži, da se doma sprži!
Dajte mu jajec, da ga ne bu zajec!
Dajte mu hajde,da se doma znajde!
Dajte mu žita, da se doma pita!
Dajte mu groš, da vam dojde još!
Če se vrata niso odprla, so zapeli še:
Haj, haj, haj! Buli skoro kaj?”
