Ајде жалај ме, Малино
Ajde žalaj me, Malino · Come, Mourn Me, Malina
About this song
A going-into-the-cheta farewell. A young man tells his girl to mourn him while he goes over Pirin mountain to the committee's gathering places. Go to the garden, pick a bouquet of roses and adorn the voivoda Delčev and his faithful band.

Translator's notes
'Оти' is rendered 'for' and 'накити Делчев војвода' is rendered as adorning Voivode Delchev and his band (with the roses), my reading. The refrain 'Малино моме' is kept in every line.
