Testo di anonimo (alfabeto latino)
Katerino mome, Katerino!
Katerino mome, krotkoy agne!
Zashto si tolkoz mome hubava?
Zashto si tolkoz mome gizdava?
YA sǎm si milo libe hubava.
YA sǎm si milo libe gizdava.
Oti sǎm rastla libe v planina.
Oti sǎm rastla libe v Pirina.
Kakva si voda mome, si pila?
Kakva si treva mome, gazila?
Kakva te e mayka mome razhdala?
Kakva te e mayka mome gledala?
Pirinska voda, libe, sǎm pila,
planinska treva, libe gazila,
Mayka pirinka me e gledala,
Translation
Catherine, young lass, Catherine,
Catherine, young lass, you meek lamb!
Why are you, young lass, so beautiful?
Why are you, young lass, so well dressed?
I'm, my love, beautiful,
I'm, my love, so well dressed,
Because I grew up in the mountain.
Because I grew up in the Pirin.
What kind of a water, young lass, you've drunk?
What kind of a grass, young lass, you've walked on?
What kind of a mother, young lass, gave birth to you?
What kind of a mother, young lass, have raised you?
I've drunk, my love, water from the Pirin
I've walked on, my love, a mountain grass.
A mother from the Pirin mountain have raised me.
"Katerino mome" (in italiano: giovane Caterina) è una famosa canzone originaria della regione del Pirin in Bulgaria.
