Jove Malaj Mome [Bulgaria]
Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Po poleka oro voidi,
Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Po poleka oro voidi.
Sama si sakala, lele,
Na oro da ides,
Na oro da ides, lele,
Momce da izberes.
Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Sto mi se naduvas,
Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Sto mi se naduvas.
Sto mi se naduvas, lele,
Ta ne mi sboruvas?
Sto mi se naduvas, lele,
Ta ne mi sboruvas?
Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Sama si sakala,
Jove, malaj mome, lele,
Sama si sakala.
Sofijski momceta, lele,
S rusi mustaceta,
Sofijski momceta, lele,
S vezani menteta.
Translation
Oh, young Jova,
Lead the oro-dance more gently,
You yourself wished
To come to the dance,
To choose a young lad.
Oh, young Jova,
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,
With their embroidered jackets.
