| Малечко убоо, о Лазаре! | Malečko uboo, o Lazare! | Little boy, oh Lazar! |
| На диван ми седеше, | Na divan mi sedeše, | He sat in the hall, |
| со јаболко играше, | so jabolko igraše, | played with an apple, |
| мајка ле му викаше: | majka le mu vikaše: | his mother said to him: |
| „Малечкоо убоо! | „Malečkoo uboo! | "Little boy! |
| Доста седе на диван, | Dosta sede na divan, | Enough sitting in the hall, |
| доста играш с јаболко. | dosta igraš s jabolko. | enough playing with an apple. |
| данж те царот догледат, | danž te carot dogledat, | Some day the emperor will notice you, |
| данж ти царство поклонит!“ | danž ti carstvo poklonit!“ | some day he will give you a kingdom!" |
| Уште речта не рече, | Ušte rečta ne reče, | She had not yet finished the word, |
| ми го царот здогледа | mi go carot zdogleda | when the emperor saw him |
| и му царство поклони. | i mu carstvo pokloni. | and gave him a kingdom. |
