This article discusses three songs, »Izvirni greh« (Original Sin), »Šuolni« (Shoes), and »Čuoja« (Log), from the latest CD Porkaeva! (2017) by the chansonnier Iztok Mlakar, with an emphasis on the display of verbal figures of various forms used to express emotions. Because chansons are performed in a »cultural« dialect, a definition of the term is provided. Adaptation as the process of transferring a spoken (sung) text into a simplified professional notation is described and its principles are presented, also evident from the songs included.
