Re: translation to english
I don't see the connection between Scandinavian and Bulgarian.macxcore@hotmail.com wrote:thinking possibly scandinavian (bulgarian?)
Or between Scandinavia and Bulgaria, for that matter...
Is this missinformation or ignorance?

The internet translation
Yes, and as far as I can translate it in English, that translation is both literal and accurate.
През горите, през полята,
Prez gori'te, prez polya'ta,
Through the woods, across the fields,
Под звездите, над житата
Pod zvezdi'te, nad zhita'ta
under the stars, above the crops [that could be translated also as "over the crops"; also, the literal meaning of жита is a plural for wheat/corn]
(With the [ ' ] I indicate where the accent falls. The pronounciation... Let's say the rules of pronouncing Japanese vowels written with latin alphabet pretty much apply, ruling out the prolonged vowels
, also there's the devocalization rule, oh why am I doing this... That's advanced stuff It's too technical terms for me to explain even in Bulgarian .)
@zcalin: Here's a connection: In the Middle Ages Bulgaria had been attacked by Normans.
The two languages probably sound to him equally unintelligible
