Ajde razbole se mojto libe, vo tugja zemja,
Ajde nema koga da go vidi, oti ke I umre.
Ajde nema koga da go vidi, oti ke I umre
Ajde prati pismo, mila majko, jaze da idam.
Ajde jaz da idam, mila majko, da go vidam.
Ajde da go vidam, mila majko, pa da si umre.
Ajde nemoj, kerko, nemoj kerko, mnogo e daleku,
Ajde nemoj, kerko, nemoj duso, sme sirmasi.
Ajde nemoj, kerko, nemoj duso, sme sirmasi.
Ajde ke prodadam, mila majko, kolan I gerdan.
Ajde jaz da idam, mila majko, da go vidam.
Ajde da go vidam, mila majko, so nego da I umra.
English translation
Oh, my beloved is ill in another country,
Oh, nobody can visit him (my beloved), who is dying.
Oh, write a letter, my beloved mother,
To say that I come to visit him, before he dies.
Oh, that is impossible my daughter, my soul,
It is too far away, we are poor.
Ooh, I'll sell my belt, and my necklace,
Ooh, I'll go, beloved mother, to see him, I want to die with him.
