English: machine translation, not checked by a native speaker
| Горе Славеј дошле борци млади, | Gore Slavej došle borci mladi, | Up at Slavej young fighters have come, |
| ечи песна од јуначки гради, | eči pesna od junački gradi, | a song echoes from heroic chests, |
| нарамиле пушки на рамена, | naramile puški na ramena, | they shouldered rifles on their shoulders, |
| развеале знаме аловито. | razveale zname alovito. | they unfurled the scarlet banner. |
| Развеале срце игровито, | Razveale srce igrovito, | They unfurled a playful heart, |
| рашириле оро шировито. | raširile oro širovito. | they spread a wide dance. |
| Надалеку гласој се слушаат, | Nadaleku glasoj se slušaat, | Far away voices are heard, |
| ти Дебарцо прва с' ослободи, | ti Debarco prva s' oslobodi, | you, Debarca, were the first to free yourself, |
| ти Дебарцо прва с' ослободи | ti Debarco prva s' oslobodi | you, Debarca, were the first to free yourself |
| и во тебе држава се роди. | i vo tebe država se rodi. | and in you a state was born. |
| Беше мала та постана силна, | Beše mala ta postana silna, | It was small and became strong, |
| како карпа над карпите крилна. | kako karpa nad karpite krilna. | like a rock above the rocks, winged. |
Translator's notes
Origin unclear; sounds like a partisan or 1944 liberation song but I cannot name an author. Slavej is a mountain in western Macedonia; Debarca is a region. 'Крилна' I took as 'winged' (my reading).
