Three chains I have,
I bind thee:
One is God, the other (beyond)
The Christ, the third, Maria!"HORSES
To charm a horse, they draw, with a coal, a ring on the left hoof and on
the right a cross, and murmur
Obles, obles te obles!
Ac tu, ac tù máy sástes
Ná th' ávehás beng tute
Devlá, devlá ač tute!
Gule devlá bishálá
E gráyeskro perá
Miseçescro dád!
Niko mánushenge áč
Káske me dáv, leske áč
Shukáres tu áč,
Voyesá te láčes áč,
Ashunen eftá Pçuvuse:
Eftá láncá hin mánge,
Ferinen ádálá
Táysá, táysá e pedá!""Round, round, and round
Be thou, be thou very sound
The devil shall not come to thee.
God, God shall be with thee
Sweet God drive away
From the horse's body
The Father of Evil!
Be to (go not to) any other man
To whom I give (sell) unto him
Be beautiful!
Frolicsome and good,
Seven spirits of earth hear
I have seven chains,
Protect this animal
Ever, ever!"
