| Ах минав гора, минав друга, | Ah minav gora, minav druga, | Ah, I passed one forest, passed another, |
| ах, во гората дробен јасен, | ah, vo gorata droben jasen, | ah, in the forest a slender ash tree, |
| ах, на јасенот славеј пиле, | ah, na jasenot slavej pile, | ah, on the ash tree a nightingale bird, |
| ах, славеј пиле рано пее. | ah, slavej pile rano pee. | ah, the nightingale bird sings early. |
| Ах не пеј пиле, не пеј рано, | Ah ne pej pile, ne pej rano, | Ah, do not sing, bird, do not sing early, |
| ах, не буди ми мојто либе, | ah, ne budi mi mojto libe, | ah, do not wake my sweetheart, |
| ах, саноќ сум го приспивала, | ah, sanoḱ sum go prispivala, | ah, all night I was lulling him to sleep, |
| ах, приспивала, милувала. | ah, prispivala, miluvala. | ah, lulling him to sleep, caressing him. |
Translator's notes
'Дробен јасен' read as a slender or fine-leaved ash, my reading.
