Денес над Македонија се раѓа, Не плачи Македонијo мајко мила, Одново сега знамето се вее, Горите македонски шумно пеат, |
Denes nad Makedonija se raǵa, Ne plači Makedonijo majko mila, Odnovo sega znameto se vee, Gorite Makedonski šumno peat, |
Today over Macedonia, is being born Do not cry dear mother Macedonia, Now once again the flag stands The Forests of Macedonia are singing |
