Излегов да се прошетам мамо	Izlegov da se prošetam mamo	I went out for a walk, mother,
низ зелените ливади.	niz zelenite livadi.	through the green meadows.
Низ зелените ливади, мамо,	Niz zelenite livadi, mamo,	Through the green meadows, mother,
кај студеното кладенче.	kaj studenoto kladenče.	by the cold little well.

Кај студеното кладенче, мамо,	Kaj studenoto kladenče, mamo,	By the cold little well, mother,
заспало едно ергенче.	zaspalo edno ergenče.	a young bachelor had fallen asleep.
Не сакав да го разбудам, мамо,	Ne sakav da go razbudam, mamo,	I did not want to wake him, mother,
не сакав да го целивам.	ne sakav da go celivam.	I did not want to kiss him.

Кога се само разбуди, мамо,	Koga se samo razbudi, mamo,	When he woke up, mother,
милно ме мене погледна.	milno me mene pogledna.	he looked at me sweetly.
Бело ми лице целива, мамо,	Belo mi lice celiva, mamo,	He kissed my white face, mother,
рудо ми грло бакнува.	rudo mi grlo baknuva.	he kissed my ruddy throat.
