“ A Rowan”
“Šermukšnis”
• Can you guess this Lithuanian riddle:
• "A fire burns on the top of a tree. What is
it?"
• Įminkite mįslę:
• „Medžio viršūnėje laužas dega. Kas?“
•
Atsakymas:
šermukšnis.
Lietuvių tautosakoje
šermukšnis užima gana
svarbią vietą. Tikima, kad
šermukšnis žmogui gali
suteikti laimę, sėkmę ir
visokeriopą gerovę. Taip pat
manoma, jog šermukšnyje
gyvena žaibas, todėl šis medis
augdamas šalia namų
apsaugo juos nuo nelaimių.
Visas šias stebuklingas galias
šermukšnis įgavo dėka labai
liūdnos istorijos.
The correct answer is a
rowan.
This tree takes quite
significant place in the
Lithuanian folklore. It is
believed that a rowan-tree
may give you happiness ,
success and ensure your well-
being. Moreover a crown of
this tree is a home for the
lightning. Therefore a rowan
growing nearby a house
protects it and the family
from the disasters. But the
origin of all these magical
strengths is connected with a
very sad story.
I remember my
grandmother's fairy tale
about a blue-eyed girl,
Senelė pasaką man sekė:
Mergelė buvo žydraakė...
An orphan girl: no dad, no
mum,
Just a cold stepmother's
hug.
Be tėvo augo, be mamos
Rūsčiosios pamotės
namuos.
In autumn time,
through the chilly dew
The blue-eyed girl was
sent away barefoot
Per gailią rudeninę rasą
Išvijo pamotė ją basą -
To pick the berries in the
woods,
To wash the braids under
the rains.
Kad lietūs kaseles ištrinktų,
Kad bruknių raistuose
pririnktų.
The tears fell down on the
ground
When the winds roughed up
the braids.
Hot orphan's tears
By misery, despair and fate.
Mergelei plaukus vėjai vėlė,
Žemelėn krito ašarėlė -
Našlaitės ašara karšta,
Bedalio vargo išspausta.
- To turn into a tree, it would be
better for me
To be a tree, a young swaying tree
Not to come back to the
stepmother's home
The heartless home...
Verčiau pavirsčiau medeliu,
Berymančiu svyruonėliu,
Kad tik nereiktų grįžti man
Beširdės pamotės kieman...
She wore a necklace of the red beads
Put on the green moss shoes
And stood at the edge of a dark pond.
An orphan girl, a rowan-tree.
Raudonus davė karolius
Ir samanėlių batelius,
Ir raisto juodojo gale
Pavirto ji šermukšnėlė...
