Testo originale macedone (Traslitterazione)
Na srce mi lezhi, mila mamo, na srce li lezhi,
aj na srce mi lezhi, mila mamo, edna luta zmija.
Ne mi bila zmija mila mamo, ne mi bila zmija,
aj ne mi bila zmija, mila mamo, tuk' e kara Sevda.
Sevdinite ochi, mila mamo, Sevdinite ochi,
aj Sevdinite ochi, mila mamo, crni chereshovi.
Sevdinite vegji mila mamo, Sevdinite vegji,
aj Sevdinite vegji mila mamo, morski pijavici.
Sevdinata snaga mila mamo, Sevdinata snaga,
aj Sevdinata snaga mila mamo, tenka em visoka.
Odi posakaj ja, mila mamo, odi posakaj ja,
aj ako ti ja dadat, mila mamo, v' pajton donesi ja.
Aj ako ne ja dadat, mila mamo, postoj, pogledaj ja.
