Haj, Devla, Devla so kerdyom,
Pala, Devla, pala matilyom.
Chorus:
//T’aven t’aven baxtale,
Ol bare haj ol tikne,
Murro trajo luludyi, Ande ratyi.//
Hajde, romnyej, romnyej te zhas,
The has te pijas haj te gilyabas.
Chorus:
Deman, Devla adyes te trajisau,
Le hurde, bare ka te dikhau.
Chorus:
Deman, Devla, Devla sastipe,
Le romnyake haj le xurdorre.

La La, etc
English Translation –
God, what have I done?
Again, Lord, I’ve become drunk.
Chorus:
May you be lucky! Grownups and children, My life is like a flower in the night.
Come, woman, let’s go, Eat drink and sing.
Give me, Lord, today to live,
So I may see the small ones grow up.
Give me, Lord, good health,
For the woman and the children.
