Lyrics

The Cyrillic transcription and the translation are from Iliana's booklet "Sharenia" and she retains copyright. In that booklet, she also provides a Latin alphabet transcription and sheet music. Please purchase the booklet from from her directly.

Дуйни ми, дуйни, бел ветре,
разлюляй гора зелена,
разтопи бели снегове.

Разтопи бели снегове,
отвори пътя за Драма,
във Драма искам да ида.

Във Драма искам да ида
там имам любе болничко -
понуда да му занеса.

Понуда да му занеса
жълта ми дюля - с листата,
бело ми грозде - с лозата.

Blow, wind, blow
Blow, blow, spring wind,
Bring back green leaves to the trees in the forest
melt the white snow.

Melt the white snow,
Open the road to Drama,
I want to go to Drama.

I want to go to Drama,
My sweetheart is lying ill there–
[I want] to take him something that he will enjoy eating.

[I want] to take him a gift of fruit -
yellow quince on a branch with leaves,
and ripe grapes on a vine.
