Ciganka Marija (Marija the gypsy) by Benjamin Ipavec — Lyrics
O, ti črna ciganka Marija!
Kake čudne imaš ti oči,
da pozabiti zdaj jih nemorem,
da od njih zdaj srce me boli!
"Prerokujem naj srečo še tebi!"
rekla si, mi pogledala dlan,
pa si čitala mojo usodo:
rekla si, mi pogledala dlan,
tek življenja moj bi ti je znan.
Nisem tvoje poslušal pre rokbe,
le voči sem ti gledal ta čas,

About Ciganka Marija (Marija the gypsy)
Benjamin Ipavec's Ciganka Marija (Marija the gypsy) is written for two voices, S and T. The text, in Slovenian, is a poignant reflection on a fateful encounter with a gypsy woman named Marija. The narrator is captivated by her dark eyes and beauty, recounting how her predictions of fortune and his inability to forget her gaze have led to heartbreak. The lyrics express a deep sense of enchantment and lingering sorrow, a powerful testament to a moment of intense emotional connection. The music likely captures this dramatic narrative through its two-part vocal writing.
