Lyrics

These lyrics were taken from the CD cover.

Набрала ѓурѓа седенка
ој лелел мори седенка
Сите ми моми дојдоа
ој леле мори дојдоа

Сал една мома не дојде
Ој лелел мори не дојде
Кој ќе ми оди по неа
ОЈ елел мори по неа

Пратиле младо стражарче
ој леле море стражарче
Момата да ја доведе
Ој Леле мори доведе

Турила крошња на рука
ој леле мори на рука
И у крошњата вретено
ој леле мори вретено


Nabrala Ǵurǵa sedenka
Oj Lele mori sedenka
Site mi momi dojdoa
Oj Lele mori dojdoa

Sal edna moma ne dojde
oj lelel mori ne dojde
Koj ḱe mi odi po nea
Oj lele mori po nea

Pratile mlado stražarče
Oj lele mori stražareče
Momata da ja dovede
Oj Lele mori dovede

Turila Krošnja na ruka
Oj lelel mori na ruka
i u krošnjata vreteno
oj lele mori vreteno

Gurga called together a working-bee. All the girls showed up except for one. Who will go and bring her? They sent a young constable to fetch the girl. She hung a basket over her arm and in the basket was a spindle.
