1. Eleno kerko, Eleno,
ti edna na majka.
// Što stoiš kerko, što misliš, što kniga pišuvaš? //
Eleno, daughter Eleno, you one to mother.
Why are you standing daughter,
what are you thinking,
2. Na kogo kerko, na kogo
kniga ke isprakjaš?
// Isprakjam majko, isprakjam do gradot Edrene. //
what kind of book are you writing?
To whom daughter,
to whom will you send your book?
3. Edrene majko, Edrene,
na batko Ilija.
// Da kupi majko, da kupi za mene kapela. //
I'm sending mother,
sending to the city of Edrene.
Edrene my mother, Edrene, to my brother Ilija.
4. Kapela majko, kapela
od trista groša.
// Da nosam, majko, da nosam na den za Ilinden.
To buy my mother, to buy a hat for me.
A hat mother, a hat from three thousands groschens.
To wear it mother, to wear it for the day of "Ilinden".
