Just like that glass is filled with wine,
just like that glass is filled with wine,
my heart is filled with woes,
my heart is filled with woes.
Let me drink, dear mother, let me get drunk,
let me drink, dear mother, let me get drunk,
my woes, dear mother, let me forget,
my woes, dear mother, let me forget.
Even if you drink, dear son, there is no use,
even if you drink, dear son, there is no use,
go take, dear son, a Berdan rifle,
and go, dear son, to a green mountain.
You will find there, dear son, a faithful troupe,
you will find there, dear son, a faithful troupe.
Lead a fight, dear son, for freedom,
for freedom, dear son, for Macedonia.
