//Цвета мома убава,
солзи рони, сама се пита//
//Зaщо Димчe ти да не дойдеш
мене да видиш?//

//Нел ми кажа, Димчe бре
Само мене верно ке любиш?//
//дар ти пракям, бре лудо младо,
врати се при мен!//

//Метни капче над око,
намигнувай ми ти под око!//
//Дигни капче яз да те видам,
изгорев за теб!//

//Теб те чекам секой ден
да те видам близо край мене //
Ке залюбам яз друго либе
ако не дойдиш,
дойди, Димче, довечера,
леле изгорев!


//Tsveta moma ubava,
solzi roni sama se pita//
//Zashto Dimche ti da ne dojdеsh
mene da vidish?//

//Nel mi kazha Dimche bre
Samo mene verno to ljubish?//
//dar ti pratjam, bre ludo mlado,
vrati si pri men!//

//Metni kapche nad oko,
Namignuvaj mi ti pod oko!//
//Digni kapche jaz da te vidam,
Izgorev za teb!//

//Teb te chekam sekoj den
da te vidam blizo kraj mene//
Ke zaljubam jaz drugo libe
ako ne dojdish,
dojdi, Dimche, dovechera,
lele izgorev.


A beautiful girl, Tsveta,
is shedding tears and asks herself,
"Why, Dimcho, aren't you coming
to see me?

Why, Dimcho, don't you tell me
it's only me you truly love?
I send a gift to you, you crazy guy:
"Come back to me!"

Put your hat in an angle over your eye
and wink at me.
Then take off your hat so I can look at you.
I am burning for you!

Every day I wait for you,
to see you close to me.
I will fall in love with another
if you don't come back.
So, Dimcho, come back tonight.
I am burning for you!"
