| SUVATA RJATA ODA PRITEČE |
| / Suvata rjaka oda priteče / | In the dry river water began to flow |
| Refrain : / Ej taj ej taj če pa ej taj / | |
| / če mi zateče malko čobanče / | A little shepherd got caught in it, |
| / malko čobanče s sivoto stado. / | a little shepherd with his gray flock. |
| / Malko čobanče rjaka pripluva / | The little shepherd swam across the river |
| / suvata rjaka stado otnese / | but the dry river carried away the °ock, |
| / ta go otnese v Černoto more / | carried it away to the Black Sea. |
