Yovano Yovanke
English translation
(Macedonian

(French
translation)
(German translation)
Jovana,
You sit by the Vardar,
bleaching your white linen,
Bleaching your white linen, my dear,
Looking at the hills.
Jovana,
I'm waiting for you,
To come to my home,
And you don't come, my dear,
My heart, Jovana.
Jovana,
Your mother, doesn't let
you,
(to)come with me, my dear,
My heart, Jovana.
Many
