| Млад Гоце, млади војвода | Mlad Goce, mladi vojvoda | Young Goce, young voivode |
| излегол да се прошета, | izlegol da se prošeta, | came out to take a walk, |
| низ таја гора зелена, | niz taja gora zelena, | through that green forest, |
| кај едно ладно изворче. | kaj edno ladno izvorče. | to a cool little spring. |
| Седнал да си почине, | Sednal da si počine, | He sat down to rest, |
| водица да се напие. | vodica da se napie. | to drink some water. |
| Извадил медно кавалче, | Izvadil medno kavalče, | He took out a copper flute, |
| засвирил Гоце, запеал. | zasviril Goce, zapeal. | Goce began to play and sing. |
| Дружина ми го дочула, | Družina mi go dočula, | My company heard him, |
| сета дружина ја собрал. | seta družina ja sobral. | he gathered the whole company. |
Translator's notes
Traditional-sounding. 'Дружина ми го дочула' has an unusual 'ми' (my reading: 'my company', a dative of interest), and the last line subject is slightly ambiguous.
