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.
