Колко нощи аз не спах Моя страна, моя България, Даже нейде по света Моя страна, моя България, Моя страна, моя България, |
Kolko nošti az ne spah Moja strana, moja Bǎlgarija, Daže nejde po sveta Moja strana, moja Bǎlgarija, Moja strana, moja Bǎlgarija, |
I did not sleep for so many nights, My country, my Bulgaria, Even if elsewhere in the world My country, my Bulgaria, My country, my Bulgaria, |
