Gorda Stara Planina,

Do nej Dunava sinej,
Sluntse Tkrakija ogr'ava,
Nad Pirina plamenej

CHORUS
Milo Rodino,
Ti si zemen raj,
Tvojta khubost, tvojta prelest,
Akh te n'amat kraj

Padnakha bojtsi bezchet,
Za naroda nash l'ubim,
Majko, daj mi muzhka sila,
Put'a im da prodolzhim

CHORUS

English Translation

Proudly rise the Balkan peaks,
At their feet Blue Danube flows;
Over Thrace the sun is shining,
Pirin looms in purple glow.
CHORUS
Oh, dear native land,
Earthly paradise!
For your loveliness, your beauty
E'er will charm our eyes.
