Цвете мило
Cvete milo · Dear Flower
English: machine translation, not checked by a native speaker
| Цвете мило, кога би знаело, | Cvete milo, koga bi znaelo, | Dear flower, if you only knew |
| мојте маки на срце. | mojte maki na srce. | the troubles of my heart. |
| Од жалост затреперило | Od žalost zatreperilo | From sorrow it trembled, |
| мојто ангелско лице. | mojto angelsko lice. | my angelic face. |
| На јасната Месечина, | Na jasnata Mesečina, | In the bright moonlight, |
| кога го чуеш славејот, | koga go čueš slavejot, | when you hear the nightingale, |
| приспомни си ти за мене, | prispomni si ti za mene, | remember me, |
| јас за тебе умирам. | jas za tebe umiram. | I am dying for you. |
| Ако умрам, душо моја, | Ako umram, dušo moja, | If I die, my soul, |
| носи поздрав ти славен: | nosi pozdrav ti slaven: | carry this glorious greeting: |
| заспа со мир на душата, | zaspa so mir na dušata, | he fell asleep with peace in his soul, |
| една солза пророна. | edna solza prorona. | he shed one tear. |
Translator's notes
Origin unclear; the style suggests a later composed song but I cannot name an author. Line 4 'мојто ангелско лице' (my angelic face) is my reading of who trembles.
