Dodola

Dodola (also spelled Doda, Dudulya and Didilya), also known under the names for butterfly: Paparuda, Peperuda, Perperuna or Preperuša, is a pagan tradition found in the Balkans. The central character of the ceremony is usually an orphan girl, less often, a boy. Wearing a skirt made of fresh green knitted vines and small branches, the girl born after the death of her father, the last girl child of the mother (if the mother subsequently gives birth to another child, great misfortunes are expected in the village), sings and dances through the streets of the village, stopping at every house, where the hosts sprinkle water on her.

A heavy rain
A faulty drain
A piece of road that's never open, eroded in the '80s

Maple trees
Family
A melody that's getting faded, dated, bittersweet

Your teachers think I'm sounding cynical
But they're not in the know
A kick will never do the trick
He might be high on dope

So if you want to keep forgetting, slipping on the soap
On the day you've gotta get him
Go for the kneecaps, eyes, and throat

Calamity
What can it be?
A menace in a candy casing, and it never gets to sleep

That pedigree
One known to me
Lead gentlemen in fondant faces
and they're pacing through those trees

Your teachers think I'm sounding cynical
But they're not in the know
A kick will never do the trick
He might be high on coke

So if you want to keep forgiving, slipping on the soap
On the day you've gotta get him
Go for the kneecaps, eyes, and throat

I was praying for a savior, fearful of a time
Unpredictable behavior would cross the line
So if you're like a gimp aboard a sinking ship
Lifeboats on the coast
Regretting having let it turn to this
Kneecaps, eyes, and throat
