Сонцето трепи, разгрева,	Sonceto trepi, razgreva,	The sun trembles, warms up,
Стеван ми лежи во окопи.	Stevan mi leži vo okopi.	My Stevan lies in the trenches.
Ете ги идат другари	Ete gi idat drugari	Look, his comrades are coming
и на Стевана говорат:	i na Stevana govorat:	and they say to Stevan:

- Стани ми, стани Стеване,	- Stani mi, stani Stevane,	- Get up, get up, Stevan,
да си дома одиме.	da si doma odime.	let us go home.
Кај наш'те мајки, татковци,	Kaj naš'te majki, tatkovci,	To our mothers, fathers,
жени со машки дечиња.	ženi so maški dečinja.	wives with boy children.

- Ајте со здравје другари,	- Ajte so zdravje drugari,	- Go in health, comrades,
мајка и татка поздравете.	majka i tatka pozdravete.	greet my mother and father.
Мајка и татка поздравете:	Majka i tatka pozdravete:	Greet my mother and father:
„Стеван го оженивме“.	„Stevan go oženivme“.	'We have married Stevan off'.

Стеван го оженивме	Stevan go oženivme	We have married Stevan off
за една млада девојка.	za edna mlada devojka.	to a young girl.
За една млада девојка,	Za edna mlada devojka,	To a young girl,
девојка црна, земнена.	devojka crna, zemnena.	a dark girl, earthen.

За една млада девојка,	Za edna mlada devojka,	To a young girl,
девојка црна, земнена.	devojka crna, zemnena.	a dark girl, earthen.
Бегови беа девери,	Begovi bea deveri,	Begs were the brothers-in-law,
сватови беа гарвани.	svatovi bea garvani.	wedding guests were ravens.

Translator's notes

A partisan/war song; the 'bride' dark and of the earth and the ravens as guests read as an image of death (my reading). Origin unclear, treated as traditional.
