On St. John's Day they burned fires and tied rye hay around walnut trees
Krisurle palija. Ča tot svitija prin Kršån. Se vedęja ârse ân Kožljak. Vidiku ča-j putut vedę sęra, kân zeškurija! Sako toliko ur kris oč, ur kolo, ši tako dalje. Ši pre ânča. Ša åto n-a fost, pa se ku čå zebavljęja. Ši nukurle legåja ku oves, slåma de oves. Ča je slåma kaj de grâv, ali oves. Legåja tote nukurle okoli ku čå. Ke din če? Ke štrigele ke n-or veri nučile popali. Hmoče âmna tu šti.
TranslationFor St. John's Day (Midsummer Day) they made bonfires. It was all lit up around Kršan. You could see them burn in Kožljak. What a sight it was in the evening, when it got dark! Every few minutes, one fire here, one over there, and so on. And around here. There was nothing else, so they entertained themselves doing this. They also tied rye, rye hay around walnut trees. That is hay just like the one you get from wheat, but rye. They would tie it up around all walnut trees. But why?So the witches would come burn the walnut trees. Go figure.
