Питат ме, мамо, в село момите:Pitat me, mamo, v selo momite:The girls in the village are asking me, mother:
- Што ти се, Гано, црни очите?- Što ti se, Gano, crni očite?- Why are your eyes so black, Gana?
А јас им думам, думам, продумам:A jas im dumam, dumam, produmam:And I tell them, I tell them:
- Кога ме мама мене родила,- Koga me mama mene rodila,- When my mother gave birth to me,
црни цреши в раце држала!crni creši v race držala!she held black cherries in her hands.
Гано ле пиле пернато,Gano le pile pernato,Gana, you feathery little bird,
Ганчице, душо калешо!Gančice, dušo kalešo!Little Gana, you black-haired honey!
Питат ме, мамо, в село момите:Pitat me, mamo, v selo momite:The girls in the village are asking me, mother:
- Што ти е, Гано, тенка снагата?- Što ti e, Gano, tenka snagata?- Why is your body so slim, Gana?
А јас им думам, думам, продумам:A jas im dumam, dumam, produmam:And I tell them, I tell them:
- Кога ме мама мене родила,- Koga me mama mene rodila,- When my mother gave birth to me,
млади фиданки в раце држала.mladi fidanki v race držala.she held young twigs in her hands.
Питат ме, мамо, в село момитеPitat me, mamo, v selo momiteThe girls in the village are asking me, mother:
- Што ти е, Гано, бело лицето?- Što ti e, Gano, belo liceto?- Why is your face so white, Gana?
А јас им думам, думам, продумам:A jas im dumam, dumam, produmam:And I tell them, I tell them:
- Кога ме мама мене родила,- Koga me mama mene rodila,- When my mother gave birth to me,
с' пресно си млеко лице умила!s' presno si mleko lice umila!she washed her face with fresh milk!
