Во нашето село куќа шимширова	Vo našeto selo kuḱa šimširova	In our village, a boxwood house,
де дилбер моме шарена одаја.	de dilber mome šarena odaja.	oh handsome girl, a colorful room.

Тамо се собрале сите млади момци,	Tamo se sobrale site mladi momci,	There all the young lads gathered,
де дилбер моме редум со момите.	de dilber mome redum so momite.	oh handsome girl, in a row with the girls.

Јас си дома чекам либе да ми дојде,	Jas si doma čekam libe da mi dojde,	I wait at home for my sweetheart to come,
де дилбер моме либе ќе дојди.	de dilber mome libe ḱe dojdi.	oh handsome girl, the sweetheart will come.

Малку го почекав и го недочекав,	Malku go počekav i go nedočekav,	I waited a little and did not wait for her,
де дилбер моме на седенка појдов.	de dilber mome na sedenka pojdov.	oh handsome girl, I went to the gathering.

Кратко си почукав, врата се отвори,	Kratko si počukav, vrata se otvori,	I knocked briefly, the door opened,
де дилбер моме татко да ти видов,	de dilber mome tatko da ti vidov,	oh handsome girl, I saw your father,
де дилбер моме мојто либе тамо.	de dilber mome mojto libe tamo.	oh handsome girl, my sweetheart there.

Колку лесно било моме да се лаже,	Kolku lesno bilo mome da se laže,	How easy it is, girl, to be deceived,
де дилбер моме самата го видов,	de dilber mome samata go vidov,	oh handsome girl, I saw it myself,
де дилбер моме ерген да се љуби.	de dilber mome ergen da se ljubi.	oh handsome girl, her kissing a bachelor.

Translator's notes

The last stanza's 'татко да ти видов' and 'мојто либе тамо' are my reading; the sense is that the narrator sees his sweetheart with another man.
