Lyrics

• Macedonian/English
• Translation

Pure and white, her skin is so inviting
Like a new, unbeaten snow
Eyes of blue, so beautiful and blinding
Like the sky over Moscow
Jas Makedonec, a ona Rusinka
Jas dobredojden kako muzika, muzika
Muzika, što ne ja razbira

Ni „kakaljin“, ni „kamaja“
Ma ništo ne ja razbiram
I „kakaljin“ i „kamaja“
Za nea sè kje naučam

Ni „kakaljin“, ni „kamaja“
Ma ništo ne ja razbiram
I „kakaljin“ i „kamaja“
Za nea sè kje naučam

Jas Makedonec, a ona Rusinka
Dajte ì vodka, a mene rakija
Muzika, muzika, što ne ja razbira

Ni „kakaljin“, ni „kamaja“
Ma ništo ne ja razbiram
I „kakaljin“ i „kamaja“
Za nea sè kje naučam

Lаlа, lаlа, lаlа, lаlа…

Ni „kakaljin“, ni „kamaja“
Ma ništo ne ja razbiram
I „kakaljin“ i „kamaja“
Za nea sè kje naučam

Ni „kakaljin“, ni „kamaja“
Ma ništo ne ja razbiram
I „kakaljin“ i „kamaja“
Za nea sè kje naučam

Za nea sè kje naučam

Pure and white, her skin is so inviting
Like a new, unbeaten snow
Eyes of blue, so beautiful and blinding
Like the sky over Moscow
I’m a Macedonian, she’s a Russian girl
I’m welcomed like the music, music
Music which I don’t understand

Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I just don’t understand any of it
Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I’ll learn it all for her

Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I just don’t understand any of it
Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I’ll learn it all for her

I’m a Macedonian, she’s a Russian girl
Give her a vodka, and me a rakia
Music, music which I don’t understand

Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I just don’t understand any of it
Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I’ll learn it all for her

Lаlа, lаlа, lаlа, lаlа…

Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I just don’t understand any of it
Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I’ll learn it all for her

Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I just don’t understand any of it
Neither “kakalin” nor “kamaja”
I’ll learn it all for her

I’ll learn it all for her
