MACEDONIAN LYRICS

Desnes nad Makedonija se ragja
Novo sonce na slobodata,
Makedoncite se borat
Za svojte pravdini,
Makedoncite se borat
Za svojte pravdini,

Odnovo sega znameto se vee
Na Krusevskata Republika
Goce Delcev, Pitu Guli,
Dame Gruev, Sandanski.
Goce Delcev, Pitu Guli,
Dame Gruev, Sandanski.

Gorite Makedonski summo peat
Novi pesni, novi vesnici,
Makedonija slobodna
Slobodna zivee.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
 
Today over Macedonia
A new sun of freedom rises,
Macedonians fight
For their rights.
Macedonians fight
For their rights.

Now once again flies
The flag of the Krusevo Republic,
Goce Delcev, Pitu Guli,
Dame Gruev, Sandanski.
Goce Delcev, Pitu Guli,
Dame Gruev, Sandanski.

The Macedonian woodlands sing brightly
New songs, new awakenings.
Free Macedonia
Lives free.
Free Macedonia
Lives free.

Macedonia
"Denes Nad Makedonija" (Today Over Macedonia)

Words by:Vlado Maleski
Music by:Todor Skalovski
Adopted:1991

The national anthem of Macedonia (referring to the former Yugoslavian republic,
and not the neighbouring Greek province of the same name) was created in 1943
by Vlado Maleski, a poet from Struga. It was adopted as the anthem of the
Republic of Macedonia upon its establishment after World War II for a few
months. The song was later selected to be the anthem of the newly independent
Republic of Macedonia in 1991.

Special thanks to: Pavel Zinovatny for the MIDI file.

Important editor note:The use of the terms "Macedonia" and "Macedonian" on this
(and related) pages is not to imply an official position on the naming dispute
between this nation and Greece.
