Makedonija

Eve ja taa prosta zemja od dvolicen kamen
                                  i sonce
Decata uste nezaodeni kade otkopuvaat
                                  lobanji

Po gradinite.
Eve ja taa prosta zemja od pajazina i od vodi
Mudro slobodata kaj sto gi zapisuva selskite
                                  iminja

Mesto ikoni po crkvite
I kade letoto kako sudbina
Trae do posledniot vostanat.
Eve ja taa prosta zemja od zamoreno disenje
                                  i od molk

Niz koja vremeto odminuva i pak se vraka
So nea da go spodeli laznoto traenje.
O, eve ja taa prosta zemja od grc i od cekanje
Sto gi nauci i dzvezdite da sepotat na
                                  makedonski

A nikoj ne ja znae.
