Albanian
Mu ne bashten tende po kendon bilbili aman aman (2x)
Nga sevdaja jote goc' e vogel celi trendafili (2x)
Mu ne bashten tende po kendon ky zogu aman aman (2x)
Nga sevdaja jote goc e vogel celi borziloku (2x)

Bosnian 1
Pogledaj me Anadolko / Muhameda ti / ja ću tebi sevdalinke / pjesme pjevati.
Hranit ću te bademima / da mi mirišeš / pojit ću te đul-šerbetom / da mi sevdišeš.
Ruse kose curo imaš / žališ li ih ti? / Aman da ih žalim ne bih tebi dala / da ih mrsiš ti.

Bosnian 2
Zašto suza u mom oku / pitaš brate moj / poslušaj me pa ispitaj / i ti život svoj.
Jesmol' brate baš onakvi / ko što treba bit / Allah nam je višnji sudac / džaba nam je krit.
Slijedimo li Kur'an časni / u životu svom / Il' je samo na jeziku / i mome i tvom?

Bulgarian
Ясен месец веч изгрява / над зелената гора / В цяла Странджа роб запява / песен нова юнашка.
През потоци, реки, бърда, / нещо пълзи, застава / Дал е Юда самодива, / или луда гидия?
Не е Юда самодива, / нито е луда гидия / Най е чета от юнаци, / плашила за читаци.

Greek
Aπό ξένο τόπο / κι απ' αλαργινό / ήρθ' ένα κορίτσι, φως μου / δώδεκα χρονώ.
Ούτε στην πόρτα βγαίνει / ούτε στο στενό / ούτε στο παραθύρι φως μου / δυο λόγια να της πω.
Έχει μαύρα μάτια / και σγουρά μαλλιά / και στο μάγουλό του, φως μου / έχει μιαν ελιά.
Δε μου τη δανείζεις / δεν μου την πουλάς /την ελίτσα που 'χεις, φως μου / και με τυραννάς.
Δε σου τη δανείζω / δεν σου την πουλώ / μόν' να τη χαρίσω θέλω / σε κείνον π' αγαπώ.

Greek with English translations:
Aπό ξένο τόπο κι απ' αλαργινό
from a foreign and distant place
ήρθ' ένα κορίτσι, φως μου, δώδεκα χρονώ
there came a girl, my light, 12 years old

Ούτε στην πόρτα βγαίνει ούτε στο στενό
She doesn't come out in the door or the allay
ούτε στο παραθύρι φως μου, δυο λόγια να της πω
nor to my window my light, to tell her a couple of words

Έχει μαύρα μάτια και σγουρά μαλλιά
she has black eyes and curly hair
και στο μάγουλό του, φως μου, έχει μιαν ελιά
and on her chick, my light, has a beauty spot

Δε μου τη δανείζεις δεν μου την πουλάς
you don't lent her to me, you don't sell it to me
την ελίτσα που 'χεις, φως μου, και με τυραννάς
the beauty spot, my light, and you torture me

Δε σου τη δανείζω, δεν σου την πουλώ
I don't lent it to you, I don't sell it to you
μόν' να τη χαρίσω θέλω σε κείνον π' αγαπώ
I just want to give it away to the one I love

Ladino/Judæo-Spanish/Sefardi
Fel Shara canet betet masha / la signorina aux beaux yeux noirs / como la luna etait la sua facia / qui eclairait le boulevard.
Volevo parlar shata metni / because her father was a la gare / y con su umbrella darabetni / en reponse a mon bonsoir.
Perche' my dear tedrabini / kuando yo te amo kitir / and if you want tehebini / il n'y a pas lieu de nous conqueror.
(c) KlezRoym

Translation of KlezRoym's lyrics into English:
The beautiful girl with black eyes walked in the
street...her face shined like the moon and lighted all the
boulevard. I wanted to speak with her...but she insuted me
because her father was in the station...nswering to my
greeting she beat me with her umbrella. Why did you hit
me..my love? You know that I love you so much..If you want
to show me your love we haven't any other way to meet us!
I'll wait for you all the night till the sunrise..and the
same the day after..till our love will triumph!

(Slavic) Macedonian 1
Ој ти Пацо Дреновчанке / не стои пред мене / си продадов тешкото имање / само заради тебе.
Абре кудо ти будало / не продавај си / ако сум ти на к'сметот / сама дома ќе дојдам.
Ој ти Пацо Дрновчанке / не стои пред мене / си продадов шарениот ландон / само заради тебе.

Malay
Suria bila tiba dan membawa cahaya
Gadis riang menyanyi sambil membawa kendi
Menuju tempat mandi membasuh dan mencuci

Suria bila tiba dan membawa cahaya
Senang hati pemuda sama-sama bekerja
Mencangkul dan membajak tidak membuang masa

Ana girang tiada terkira
Pagi petang kambing dijaga
Jantan ada betina pun ada
Makan gaji jadi gembala
Hati senang peduli apa
Kambing banyak tauke punya

Tak ada fulus tak menjadi apa
Padang pasir ofis besar ana
Pion ana, kerani pun ana,
Manager, kuli, ana sapu semua
Mulut manis santan kelapa
Miskin harta hati kaya

Serbian
Ruse kose, curo, imaš / žališ li gi ti? / Aman, da gi žalam, ne bi ti gi dala / da gi mrsiš ti.
Belo lice, curo, imaš / žališ li ga ti? / Aman, da go žalam ne bi ti go dala / da go ljubiš ti.
Medna usta, curo, imaš / žališ li gi ti? / Aman, da gi žalam, ne bi ti gi dala / da gi piješ ti.

Turkish
Üsküdar'a gider iken / aldı da bir yağmur / kâtibimin setresi uzun / eteği çamur.
Kâtip uykudan uyanmış / gözleri mahmur / kâtip benim, ben kâtibin / el ne karışır?
Üsküdar'a gider iken / bir mendil buldum / mendilimin içine / lokum doldurdum.

European Conference on Youth Inclusion and Youth Participation

2008-10-28T09:19:00.001+01:00

On Saturday, 8 November 2008 youth from Cyprus will meet with other youth from 11 European Union countries at the "European Conference on Youth Inclusion and Youth Participation". They will hear from distinguished leaders across Europe, present results of an International Youth Survey, discuss outputs of regional youth Structured Dialogues held in Cyprus, Italy and Romania and present a joint declaration on citizenship and youth participation across Europe. This conference is part of the European Union Youth in Action Programme project called "UCYVROK" which is short for Uniting for Citizenship and participation: Youth promoting Vulnerable groups' Rights, Opportunities and Knowledge. The event will be held from 10.00 until 16.00 at the Golden Bay Beach Hotel in Larnaca, Cyprus.

The UCYVROK project is coordinated by a Cypriot non-governmental organisation, Future Worlds Center and is implemented in partnership with eleven youth non-governmental organisations from across Europe. The project receives funding from the European Commission's Youth in Action Programme and is a direct response to the European Parliament's inquiry about the lack of youth participation in European activities.

Project activities have included Structured Dialogic Design workshops in Cyprus, Italy and Romania, the creation of an online platform (http://ucyvrok.wetpaint.com) linking youth across Europe, a comprehensive survey examining the current youth environment in eleven EU countries, and exploring ways to promote youth participation in European activities and intercultural events, with a particular focus on less privileged youth.
