- Дојде време да се мајко разделам,	- Dojde vreme da se majko razdelam,	- The time has come, mother, for me to part,
в' туѓа да заминам, туѓа туѓина.	v' tuǵa da zaminam, tuǵa tuǵina.	to go off to a foreign land, a foreign strangeness.
Либе лично немам, пуст и сиромав,	Libe lično nemam, pust i siromav,	I have no love of my own, forlorn and poor,
ниту другар имам, сосема сум сам.	nitu drugar imam, sosema sum sam.	I have no comrade either, I am completely alone.

Мила мајко ти си ми сè,	Mila majko ti si mi sè,	Dear mother, you are everything to me,
љубовта, животот, мила мајчице.	ljubovta, životot, mila majčice.	love, life, dear little mother.
Мила мајко ти си ми сè,	Mila majko ti si mi sè,	Dear mother, you are everything to me,
животот, мајчице.	životot, majčice.	life, little mother.

Солзи, твоите очи солзи полни се,	Solzi, tvoite oči solzi polni se,	Tears, your eyes are full of tears,
плачеш и за рака сал ме држиш.	plačeš i za raka sal me držiš.	you weep and only hold me by the hand.
- Денес ќе одиш в' земја далечна,	- Denes ḱe odiš v' zemja dalečna,	- Today you will go to a distant land,
в' срце се стега болка, тежина.	v' srce se stega bolka, težina.	in the heart pain tightens, a heaviness.

Мила мајко ти си ми сè,	Mila majko ti si mi sè,	Dear mother, you are everything to me,
љубовта, животот, мила мајчице.	ljubovta, životot, mila majčice.	love, life, dear little mother.
Мила мајко ти си ми сè,	Mila majko ti si mi sè,	Dear mother, you are everything to me,
животот, мајчице.	životot, majčice.	life, little mother.

Translator's notes

Emigration/farewell song, likely modern in style but no author named, so translated; origin unclear. 'сал' is read as 'only' (my reading).
