до ней Дунава синей,
слънце Тракия огрява,
над Пирина пламеней.


Припев:
Мила Родино,
ти си земен рай,
твойта хубост, твойта прелест,
ах, те нямат край.

Паднаха борци безчет
за народа наш любим,
майко, дай ни мъжка сила
пътя им да продължим.

do nei Dunava sinei,
sluntse Trakia ogriava,
nad Pirina plamenei,


Pripev:
Mila Rodino,
ti si zemen rai,

ah, te niamat krai.

Padnaha bortsi bezchet
za naroda nash liubim,
maiko, dai ni muzhka sila
putia im da produlzhim.
