Haj, haj, Devla, Devla so kerdyom.
Pala, Devla, Devla matilyom.
// T’aven, t’aven baxtale, ol bare haj
ol tikne,
Murro trajo luludyi ande ratyi. //
Haj(de), romnyej, romnyej te zhas,
The has te pijas haj te gilyabas.
Deman, Devla adyes te trajisau,
Le hurde, bare ka te dikhau.
Deman, Devla, Devla sastipe,
Le romnyake haj le xurdorre.
(God, what have I done,
Again, Lord, I’ve become drunk
// May you be lucky, grownups
and children,
My life is like a flower in the night. //
Come, woman, let’s go,
To eat and drink and sing.
Give me, Lord, today to live,
So I may see the small ones grow up.
Give me, Lord, good health,
For the woman and the children.) - Track Name: Opinca

Hop hop și iară-ș hop
Cu opinca hai la joc

More, čičo reče da me ženi
more, čera reče sega nek’e
// More, čera reče sega nek’e
a pa strina Sava ič ne dava. //
More, ne davaše, ne davaše
// More, najposle se saglasiše, //
more, mi zgodiše bela Neda.
More, bela, bela kako Arapka,
more, tûnka tûnka kako mečka.
More, kačeše ja na kolata
more, a kolata prikrcaja.
// More, a kolata prikrcaja,
more bivolite primrcaja. //
More, koga Neda potegliše
more, do dve daske se skršiše.
// More, do dve daske se skršiše,
more, bivolite s’uplašiše. //
(Uncle said he would marry me off
yesterday he said so, now he doesn’t want to.
Yesterday he said so, now he doesn’t want to;
and Aunt Sava won’t agree to it at all.
They wouldn’t agree and wouldn’t agree,
// And finally they did agree. //
They betrothed fair Neda.
She’s as fair as an Arab,
as thin as a bear.
They put her in the carriage;
the carriage started to creak.
// The carriage started to creak,
the buffalo staggered along (pulling it). //
When they got going with Neda in it,
it broke in two.
// It broke in two,
and the buffalo were frightened. //) - Track Name: Karanfile Cvijece Moje
-
// Karanfile, cvijeće moje //
// Da sam Bogd’o, sje me tvoje //
// Ja bih znala gdje bih cvala: //
// Mom dragome pod pendžere. //
// Kad moj dragi idi spati, //
karanfilće mirisati
a moj dragi uzdisati.
(Carnation, my flower,
If God had made me into your seeds
Then I would know where to bloom:
Under the windows of my loved one,
When my darling goes to sleep,
carnations will smell
and he will sigh.) - Track Name: Moj Dilbere
-
Moj dilbere, kud se šećeš?
Što i mene ne povedeš?
Povedi me u čaršiju,
Pa me prodaj bazadžanu.
Uzmi za me oku zlata,
Pa pozlati dvoru vrata.
(My cavalier, where are you going?
Why don’t you take me with you?
Take me to the old town,
we can haggle with the merchants there.
Buy me a kilo of gold,
So we can gild our courtyard gates.) - Track Name: Makedonsko De Vojce
-
Makedonsko devojče, kitka šarena,
vo gradina nabrana, dar podarena.
Da li ima n’ovoj beli svet,
po’ubavo devojče od Makedonče?
Nema, nema ne ke se rodi,
po’ubavo devojče od Makedonče!
Nema zvezdi polični, od tvojte oči.
Da se noče na nebo,
denke razdeni.
Koga kosi raspletiš, kako koprina,
lična si i polična, od samovila.
Koga pesna zapeje, slavej nad peje.
Koga ora zaigra,
sârce razigra.
(Macedonian girl, a colorful bouquet,
Picked in the garden, given as a gift.
Is there in this big wide world,
A girl more beautiful than a Macedonian?
There isn’t, there isn’t, never will be born,
a girl more beautiful than a Macedonian!
There are no stars brighter than your eyes.
If they were in the sky at night,
there would be daylight.
When you unbraid your hair, like silk,
you’re beautiful, more beautiful than a fairy.
When she sings a song, she outsings a nightingale.
when she starts to dance,
she makes your heart dance with joy.) - Track Name: Romanian Lullaby

// Mama cînd mo legănat, //
// Numai de dor mio cîntat. //
// Mio cîntat de dor șio plîns, //
// Dorul de mine so prins. //
// De cînd dorul la inima, //
Numai am nici o hodină,
Nici la prînz și nici la cină.
// Cîte doruri leles grele, //
// Toates pă braţăle mele. //
// Dar nu moare de bătrîn, //
// Nu ști dorul de cei bun. //
// Dar eu știu că lam purtat, //
// De cînd mama mio cîntat. //
When mama rocked me,
She only sang to me of longing.
She sang to me of longing and I cried,
And longing took me.
Since then I carry longing to my heart,
And I have no respite,
Neither during the day nor in the evening.
So many hard longings are severe,
All are on my arms.
One dies from old age,
You don’t know what good it is.
But I know that I carried it,
Since mama sang of it to me.
