Што ми омилело
Što mi omilelo · What I have come to love
About this song
A gentle song of longing for a place, dressed up as longing for girls: what captured the singer is the Kumanovo plain, the Kumanovo girls and the saie, the embroidered woolen apron-dress, worked with little flower bouquets.

Translator's notes
Kumanovo dialect forms (-е endings, к'д ќе ги погледну). Line 3 meaning ('when they look') and 'сае' as a woollen coat are my reading; the object of 'look' is unstated.
