Денес Над Македонија

Денес над Македонија се раѓа,

ново сонце на слободата !

Македонците се борат,

за своите правдини !

Македонците се борат,

за своите правдини !

Од сега веќе знамето се вее,

на Крушевската република !

Гоце Делчев, Питу Гули,

Македонија слободна,

слободна живее !

Македонија слободна,

слободна живее !
