About this song
A lament for the voivoda Tole, who died for his people and for freedom. Qwen links him to the Kruševo region and the Ilinden generation; I have not checked who he is.

Translator's notes
Commemorative song about a voivode named Tole; I do not know if it is anonymous or composed, so it is treated as folk-style.
