Listen up patriots
Listen up patriots,
so that I can tell you clearly:
I was locked up on St. George's Day
in black, dark dungeons.
In the dungeons I was betrayed
because of the damned spies.
Because of the damn spies
misbehaving Vrhovists.
In the dungeons I was tortured,
neither water, nor bread,
my body darkened,
a long shirt to the floor.
- Come on, don't torture me
I am as innocent as a flower.
I have fought for freedom,
for humans rights.
Oh, if only my mother knew,
to dig up my grave.
To dig up my grave
towards the clear Sun.
And on the grave she should write:
- 'Here lies a martyr.
Here lies Alexander
Karagjule from Ohrid'.
I swear to the most beloved, to the dearest,
I swear to the cross and the candlestick
I swear to my faith, I swear to my soul,
I swear to Macedonian blood.
