Разболе ми се КалинаRazbole mi se KalinaKalina fell ill on me
во това поле широко, широко.vo tova pole široko, široko.in this field, wide, so wide.
Никој при неја немашеNikoj pri neja nemašeNobody was near her
сал едно пиле шарено, шарено.sal edno pile šareno, šareno.only one little speckled bird, speckled.
Со уста вода носешеSo usta voda nosešeWith its beak it carried water,
со крилца сенка држеше, држеше.so krilca senka držeše, držeše.with its wings it held shade, held shade.
- Еј море пиле шарено- Ej more pile šareno- Hey, little speckled bird,
шо добро виде од мене, од мене?šo dobro vide od mene, od mene?what good did you see from me, from me?
- Калино, моме убаво- Kalino, mome ubavo- Kalina, lovely girl,
кога гореше гората, гората.koga goreše gorata, gorata.when the forest was burning, burning.
Ти мен во раци држешеTi men vo raci držešeYou held me in your arms,
со масло крилца ладеше, ладеше.so maslo krilca ladeše, ladeše.with oil you cooled my wings, cooled them.
