SIPNI SA ROJNI OBLAKO
Sipni sa rojni oblako
vâr jasnichkono slânchitse //
ljutichko da ma ne peche //
âchine da mi ne gâriât.
Cherna shte morna da stana
ta nema da ma priljaga //
bash barjamskono gizdilo //
deno na dene nadjavam //
na dene i na nedjale.
SPREAD YOURSELF, CLOUD
Spread yourself, cloud,
in front of the bright sun
so it doesn't burn me up,
so it doesn't burn my eyes.
So I don't get so black and red
that I won't look good
in my beautiful Bajram [a big holiday] clothes
that I don't wear all the time,
only on the special holidays.
