- Војник си отслужил сине,	- Vojnik si otslužil sine,	- You have served as a soldier, son,
ајде да се ожениш, де.	ajde da se oženiš, de.	come on, get married, then.
Ама што си кинисало,	Ama što si kinisalo,	But what has got into you,
со тоа што одиш, де?	so toa što odiš, de?	with this going about of yours, then?
Зошто такво моме љубиш,	Zošto takvo mome ljubiš,	Why do you love such a girl,
што не ти прилега, де?	što ne ti prilega, de?	who does not suit you, then?

Мама ќе ти најде, сине,	Mama ḱe ti najde, sine,	Mother will find you, son,
лично и богато, де,	lično i bogato, de,	a handsome and rich one, then,
барем да прилега, сине,	barem da prilega, sine,	at least one who would suit,
за нашата куќа, де.	za našata kuḱa, de.	son, our house, then.

- Што ќе ми богатство, мајко,	- Što ḱe mi bogatstvo, majko,	- What do I need wealth for, mother,
кога ќе ја не сакам, де?	koga ḱe ja ne sakam, de?	if I will not love her, then?
Барем ти си била млада	Barem ti si bila mlada	At least you were young once
и за љубов знаеш, де.	i za ljubov znaeš, de.	and you know about love, then.

Мојта прва љубов, мајко,	Mojta prva ljubov, majko,	My first love, mother,
не се заборава, де,	ne se zaborava, de,	is not forgotten, then,
секој што се верно љуби,	sekoj što se verno ljubi,	everyone who loves faithfully
треба да се земи, де.	treba da se zemi, de.	should be married, then.

Translator's notes

Origin unclear; no author I can name. 'Ама што си кинисало' is my reading; the line 'барем да прилега, сине, за нашата куќа' is translated as 'one who would suit our house'.
