First stanza:
Macedonian girl,
a beautiful bouquet,
picked in the garden,
given as a gift.

Chorus:
Is there, in this whole wide world,
a more beautiful girl than a Macedonian?
There isn’t, there isn’t, there will never be born,
a more beautiful girl than a Macedonian.

Second stanza:
There are no stars brighter
than your eyes,
If they were in the sky at night,
dawn will break out right.

Chorus: .....

Third stanza:
When you unravel your braids,
like silk,
you’re more beautiful
than a fairy.

Chorus: .....

Fourth stanza:
And when she sings a song
it is a voice sweeter than a nightingale
and when she dances oro
she will dance with all her heart.

Chorus: .....

Прва строфа:
Македонско девојче,
китка шарена,
во градина набрана
дар подарена.

Рефрен:
Дали има на овој бели свет
поубаво девојче од Македонче?
Нема, нема не ќе се роди
поубаво девојче од Македонче.

Втора строфа:
Нема ѕвезди полични,
од твоите очи,
да се ноќе на небо
ден ќе раздени.

Рефрен: .....

Трета строфа:
Кога коси расплетиш
како коприна
лична си и полична
од самовила.

Рефрен .....

Четврта строфа:
Кога песна запее
славеј натпее,
кога оро заигра
срце разигра.

Рефрен: .....
