Oh, young Jova
/ Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Po poleka oro vodi. /
Sama si sakala, lele,
Na oro da ideš,
Na oro da ideš, lele,
Momče da izbereš.
/ Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Što me se maduvaš, /
/ Što me se maduvaš, lele,
Ta ne mi sboruvaš. /
/ Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Sama si sakala /
Sofijeki momčeta, lele,
S rusi mustačeta,
Sofijski momčeta, lele,
S vezani menteta. |
Oh, young Jova,
Lead the oro-dance more gently.
You yourself wished
To come to the dance,
To come to the dance,
To choose a young lad.
Oh, young Jova,
Why are you so haughty?
Why are you so haughty?
Why don't you speak to me?
Oh, young Jova,
You yourself preferred
The lads from Sofia
With their fair mustaches,
The lads from Sofia
With their embroidered jackets.
