lyrics

Macedonian:
Edno vreme si bev ergen,
em rabota si nemav.
Tra la, laj la, lala, lalalaj
em rabota si nemav.

Pa si trgnav na proshetka,
na proshetka vo Bitola.
Traj lalaj lalalalalalaj
na proshetka vo Bitola.

Na proshetka vo Bitola,
niz evrejskite maali.
Traj lalaj la lala lala laj
niz evrejskite maali.

Tam si sretnav moma Evrejka,
so kosi rastureni.
Traj lalaj lalala lala
so kosi rastureni.

I je rekov na slavjanski
da se storit slavjanka.
Traj lalaj lalalalalalaj
da se storit slavjanka.


English:
One time I was a bachelor,
Even a job I didn’t have.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
Even a job I didn’t have.

So I left for a stroll,
For a stroll in Bitola.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
For a stroll in Bitola.

For a stroll through Bitola,
Through the Jewish neighborhoods.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
Through the Jewish neighborhoods.

There I met a Jewish girl,
With messy hair.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
With messy hair.

And I told her in Slavonic
For her to become Slavic.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
For her to become Slavic.
