Море чичо рече да ме жени,	More čičo reče da me ženi,	My uncle said to find me a wife,
море 'чера рече, сега нејќе.	more 'čera reče, sega nejḱe.	he said that yesterday, but today he won't.
Море 'чера рече, сега нејќе,	More 'čera reče, sega nejḱe,	He said that yesterday, today he won't,
а па стрина Сава, ич не дава.	a pa strina Sava, ič ne dava.	and my aunt Sava, she forbids it, too.

Море не даваше, не даваше,	More ne davaše, ne davaše,	They didn't allow, didn't allow,
море најпосле се сагласише.	more najposle se saglasiše.	and finally they agreed.
Море најпосле се сагласише,	More najposle se saglasiše,	Finally they agreed,
море ми згодише бела Неда.	more mi zgodiše bela Neda.	but they found the white Neda.
Море бела, бела како арапка,	More bela, bela kako arapka,	She was white, white as an Arab,
море т'нка, т'нка како мечка.	more t'nka, t'nka kako mečka.	she was slim, slim as a bear.

Море качеше ја на колата,	More kačeše ja na kolata,	They put her on the coach,
море, а колата прикрцаја.	more, a kolata prikrcaja.	and the coach cracled.
Море, а колата прикрцаја,	More, a kolata prikrcaja,	The coach crackled,
море биволите примрцаја.	more bivolite primrcaja.	and the oxes swinged forward.

Море кога Неда потеглише,	More koga Neda potegliše,	When they pulled the coach,
море, до две даске се скршише.	more, do dve daske se skršiše.	two boards broke.
Море, до две даске се скршише,	More, do dve daske se skršiše,	Two boards broke,
море, биволите с' уплашише.	more, bivolite s' uplašiše.	and the oxes got scared.
