Боят настана [Boyat nastana] [English translation]

The battle has begun, our hearts are beating strong

Behold our foes as they are drawing close

Courage, my friends, faithful and united

We no longer are a submissive herd

Fight, my brothers - God’s with us, the oppressor’s breed

A fight for honour and liberty, for beloved kin

Oh my mother, dear Motherland

You are a land of beauty, a heavenly garden

Let us with this blow smite our enemy

Let us, brothers, proudly prove to him

That these dirty chains we’ve broken

That we are free, and, slaves we shall not be

Fight, my brothers - God’s with us, the oppressor’s breed

A fight for honour and liberty, and for dear kin

Oh my mother, dear Motherland

You are a land of beauty, a heavenly garden
