| Цвета се крла а ѓурѓеле, | Cveta se krla a ǵurǵele, | Tsveta is swinging, oh gjurgjele, |
| Доне га пули: | Done ga puli: | Done is watching her: |
| - Кротком крлајте а ѓурѓеле | - Krotkom krlajte a ǵurǵele | - Swing gently, oh gjurgjele, |
| моето либе | moeto libe | my love |
| да не ми падни а ѓурѓеле | da ne mi padni a ǵurǵele | so she does not fall, oh gjurgjele, |
| да не се удри. | da ne se udri. | so she does not hurt herself. |
| Местото ѝ е каменливо | Mestoto ì e kamenlivo | The place is stony, |
| кротком крлајте | krotkom krlajte | swing gently, |
| и ако падниш, ластар Цвето | i ako padniš, lastar Cveto | and if you fall, young shoot Tsveta, |
| Доне те чека, | Done te čeka, | Done is waiting for you, |
| Доне те чека, ластар Цвето | Done te čeka, lastar Cveto | Done is waiting for you, young shoot Tsveta, |
| ву бели раци. | vu beli raci. | in his white arms. |
Translator's notes
'Крла' (swings) and 'пули' (watches) are my reading; 'ѓурѓеле' is a refrain word I am unsure of. Ritual swing song for Gjurgjovden, as the notes say.
