TITLE / LYRICS

Male stara male

Male, stara male,
negde shte te pratia,
negde shte te pratia (male ma+)
dole yu Donkini,

ou Donka houbavitsa,
ou Donka gizdavitsa,
ta da mi ia iskash
za mene da doyde,
snaha da mi stane.
Ako ti ia dadat,
ti da se zabavish,
ako te povurnat,
po-skoro da dodesh.
Az shte da otida
gore v manastira,
tam shte da si koupia
drehi kalougerski,
drehi iagoumeni,
tam shte ia izpoviadam
zashto te povurna,
ta ne te priela.
