| TRŬGNALA RUMJANA |
| Trùgnala Rumjana za voda studena, lele trùgnala Rumjana za voda studena vse sutrin rano, po ladovina, lele, vse vecer kùsno, po mesecina. |
Rumjana went for cool water early each morning in the morning coolness, late each evening in the moonlight. |
| Nasresta ide edno ludo mlado, lele, nasresta ide edno ludo mlado. Ta na Rumjana tihom govori, lele, ta na Rumjana tihom govori : |
Towards her came a young lad. He said quietly to Rumjana : |
| "Ja kazi, Rumjano, kakvo da ti storja, lele, ja kazi, Rumjano, kakvo da ti storja? Kitki da ti zema, drugi ste naberes, lele, kitki da ti zema, drugi ste naberes. |
"Tell me now, Rumjana, what shall I do to you? If I steal your flowers, you'll just pick others. |
| Stomni da ti scupja, drugi ste si kupis, lele, stomni da ti scupja, drugi ste si kupis, hem po-hubavi, hem po-sareni, lele, hem po-hubavi, hem po-sareni. |
If I break your jugs, you'll buy yourself new ones, even prettier and more colorful. |
| Ja togaz, Rumjano, daj da te celuna, lele, ja togaz, Rumjano, daj da te celuna, ce celuvkata se s pari ne kupuva, lele, ce celuvkata se s pari ne kupuva. |
So now, Rumjana, let me kiss you, for a kiss cannot be bought with money. |
| Ce celuvkata e mehlem na sùrceto, lele, ce celuvkata e mehlem na sùrceto, mehlem na sùrceto, balsam na dusata, lele, mehlem na sùrceto, balsam na dusata." |
For a kiss is a salve for the heart, a salve for the heart, a balm for the soul." |
