TITLE / LYRICS

Zamuchi se Boja mayka

Zamuchi se Boja mayka
(oy koledo, moy koledo+)

ot Ignata do Koleda,
rodi Boga na Koleda,
pa si trugna Boja mayka
da si krusti mala Boga,
pa si sreshtna sveti Vasil:
- Lele vare, sveti Vasile,
shtesh li krusti mala Boga?
Ne moja gou, ni pogledna.
Pa si sreshtna sveti Evan:
- Lele vare, sveti Evane,
shtesh li krusti mala Boga?
Otgovara sveti Evan:
- Ne moja go, ni pogledna.
Pa si sreshtna sveti Yordan:
- Lele vare, sveti Yordane,
shtesh li krustish mala Boga?
Otgovaria sveti Yordan:
- Krusti shte si mala Boga,
pa go lishna niz Yordania,
niz Yordania, vuz Yordania.
