TITLE / LYRICS

Za zlo e doshel Velikden

Za zlo e doshel Velikden,
Velikden prazna nedelia,
horo da tropat momite,
kamuk da hvurliat momtsite.
Kleto ratayche Nikola
prez plet gleda momite.

Chicho mou na Nikola douma:
- Ne te ia tsanil chicho ti
horo da tropash s momite,
kamuk da hvurliash s momtsite,
ia vpregni brezi bivoli,
izori nivi shiroki!
Ratay se jalno najali,
sulzi mou plamnik stanali,
chichovi imoti izgorili.
