in the 1963 Skopje earthquake.
(variation of Provo Oro)
Words in English
The grieving mother weeps to herself
and consoles her grandchildren.
The aching in her heart is unbearable,
but she smiles at them.
Ah, sleep my grandchildren,
he will come back again.
He will sing to you of Ditola,
of our native town.
The grandchildren sleep, the mother weeps,
tears pour from her eyes.
Where are you, my son, to see them,
your dear children?
Ah, your children are sleeping,
and in their dreams they hear your singing.
Get up, my son, and see them,
get up, my son.
The mother weeps, her tears flow,
she mourns her son,
Dlagoj Petrov Karagule,
in her thoughts she caresses him.
Ah, you are my only one,
you are the pain in my heart.
Get up, child, sing me a song,
get up, do not sleep.

Zalma majka, v sebe place,
