Words in English
Tell me, tell me, young man,
tell me, red Karamfil 1
where did you grow up?
Who gave you strength and beauty?
Eh, eh, Karamfil,
partisan mother, true commander.
I am a true son of the Dalkan mountains
and the Valley of the Roses.
Strength and beauty they gave to me,
it was they who taught me how to fight.
Forest, forest of the Hajdnka,
and you, our granite Dalkan.
Today we are raising young heroes,
true descendants of Karamfil.
1 nom de guerre, literally ́carnationî
 
Words in Native Tongue
Kazi mi, kazi, mladi le momko,
kazi mi, alen Karamfil,
de rasos, momko, rasoa porssoa,
sila i bubost koj li ti dade?
CHORUS
Eh, eh, Karamfil,
partizanski majko, slaven komandir.
Az veren sio sum, sio na Delkana
i Roeovata Dolina
Sila i huboet dar mi dariha,
kak da se borja te me uciha.
Como le goro, goro hajduska
i ti graniten nas Dalkan,
dnes nije rasoem mladi junaci
na Karamfila verni potomci.
