Celotno besedilo pesmi »Na planin'cah sončece sije« z angleškim prevodom.
Na planin'cah sončece sije, na planin'cah luštno je.
#Gor pojejo drobne ptičke, gor cvetejo rožice.
#Moje dekle jih pa trga, da mi pušeljc naredi.
#Za klobuk ti ga bom pripela z eno zlato knofeljco.
#English translation
On the mountain pastures the sun is shining, on the pastures it's lovely. Up there the little birds are singing, up there the flowers bloom. And my girl is picking them, to make me a little posy. I'll pin it on your hat for you with one golden little button.

Meaning and origin
This is a small love song set against the beauty of the high pastures. It opens like a picture postcard — the sun shining on the mountain meadows, little birds singing, flowers in bloom — and then, gently, a person steps into the scene: the singer’s sweetheart, gathering those flowers to make him a pušeljc, a little posy. In the Slovenian country tradition, a posy pinned to a hat was a token of love, so her small act carries real tenderness.
The last verse completes the exchange, the couple’s voices blurring together — the posy will be pinned to the hat with a golden button, worn proudly as its owner walks. It is a Slovenian folk song with no known author, one of many that tie courtship to the alpine landscape, and its charm is exactly that closeness of love and place: the flowers of the mountain, picked by a sweetheart, carried on the hat down into the valley.
