| на кочани лупење. | na kočani lupenje. | for the shucking of corn. |
| Лупеле, што ми лупеле, | Lupele, što mi lupele, | They shucked, oh how they shucked, |
| фанале да вечерат, | fanale da večerat, | they sat down to eat supper, |
| јале, што вечерале, | jale, što večerale, | they ate, oh how they ate, |
| станале да легнуваат. | stanale da legnuvaat. | they got up to go to bed. |
| Таман, што ми легнале, | Taman, što mi legnale, | Just as they lay down, |
| завртиле ламбата, | zavrtile lambata, | they turned down the lamp, |
| сите ми позаспале. | site mi pozaspale. | and all of them fell asleep. |
| Тогај ми Панда вриснала: | Togaj mi Panda vrisnala: | Then Panda screamed: |
| - Тетко ле, жив ти теткина, | - Tetko le, živ ti tetkina, | - Auntie, may your aunt be well, |
| некој ме штипна за рака! | nekoj me štipna za raka! | someone pinched me on the arm! |
Translator's notes
Traditional, humorous song about a corn-shucking gathering. 'жив ти теткина' is my reading (an oath-like exclamation, roughly 'may your aunt live').
