| Калино ќерко, Калино, | Kalino ḱerko, Kalino, | Daughter Kalina, Kalina, |
| дадов те бела, црвена, | dadov te bela, crvena, | I gave you away fair and rosy, |
| дадов те бела, црвена, | dadov te bela, crvena, | I gave you away fair and rosy, |
| дадов те тенка, висока. | dadov te tenka, visoka. | I gave you away slender and tall. |
| Што болест ми те налегна, | Što bolest mi te nalegna, | What illness has befallen you, |
| та ми потенка повена, | ta mi potenka povena, | that you have grown thin and pale for me, |
| што болес ми те налегна, | što boles mi te nalegna, | what illness has befallen you, |
| та ми потенка повена? | ta mi potenka povena? | that you have grown thin and pale for me? |
| Не прашвај мале, не прашувај, | Ne prašvaj male, ne prašuvaj, | Do not ask, mother, do not ask, |
| не сум од болест легнала. | ne sum od bolest legnala. | I have not taken to bed from illness. |
| Не сум од болест легнала, | Ne sum od bolest legnala, | I have not taken to bed from illness, |
| тук' се од мерак разболев. | tuk' se od merak razbolev. | but I have fallen ill from longing. |
Translator's notes
'Да потенка повена' is my reading as 'grown thin and pale'; 'не прашвај' is dialect for 'do not ask'.
