English: machine translation, not checked by a native speaker
| Шета Ѓуро по чаршија, | Šeta Ǵuro po čaršija, | Gjuro walks through the bazaar, |
| нит' купуват, нит' продават. | nit' kupuvat, nit' prodavat. | neither buying nor selling. |
| Раце држит во џепови, | Race držit vo džepovi, | He keeps his hands in his pockets, |
| полни му се урубии, | polni mu se urubii, | his pockets are full of urubii, |
| гројзе најде, гројзе купи | grojze najde, grojze kupi | he found grapes, he bought grapes |
| и го зави в' бела риза. | i go zavi v' bela riza. | and wrapped them in a white shirt. |
| Тргна дома да си оди, | Trgna doma da si odi, | He set off to go home, |
| оде, оде до пола сата, | ode, ode do pola sata, | he walked, walked for half an hour, |
| седна гројзе да го зоба. | sedna grojze da go zoba. | sat down to eat the grapes. |
| - Не сум гројзе за зобање, | - Ne sum grojze za zobanje, | - I am not a grape for eating, |
| тук' сум мома за љубење! | tuk' sum moma za ljubenje! | I am a girl for kissing! |
| И ја фати за рачица, | I ja fati za račica, | And he took her by the little hand, |
| води, води дури дома: | vodi, vodi duri doma: | he leads her, leads her all the way home: |
| - На ти мајко одменица. | - Na ti majko odmenica. | - Here, mother, a replacement for you. |
Translator's notes
'урубии' is a guess (possibly a dialect word for pocket contents or a type of coin/cloth); I could not identify it, so that line is my reading. The grape-turns-into-a-girl motif is a known folk-tale type.
