[I dedicate this lovely creation of Kole Nedelkovski to all the
Macedonians who have turned their back on Macedonia and the Macedonian
people-the Bugaromani, Grkomani and Srbomani. May this be a wake-up call
for them.]

ODRODENI

-Zoshto, sinko, taka traesh,
zoshto bujna glava vednesh,
zoshto mashko srce stegash
i sred plamenj-mladost chmaesh?

Treska li te silna trese,
teshka li te kukja tezhi,
prva li te izgor rani,
slana li te mladost slani?

"Ni mi, majko, kukja tezhi,
ni me prva izgor rani,
ni mi slana mladost slani,
tuku silna zhalba zhalam.

Eve vekje cela vechnost
kako, majkko, bolna lezhish,
nikoj v kukji ne ni stapil,
niti pusto nekoj prashal.

Dal' si, majko, rod nemame,
eli spomen losh ne deli,
ta ne mozhat da ni dojdat,
eli gajret da ni pratat?"

-Dejdi moe milo chedo,
ne me prashaj-gre me vie,
rod se ima, rod se znae,
koga v kukji pukot vrie.

Ami sega strashna bolest,
pusta bednost nad nas tezhi,
koj kje saka da ni dojde,
koj kje saka da ne vidi?
