"Postoy, pogrey, moe iasno sluntse,
dode ida gore na Koynare
da ouzema dva zlatni klyuchove,
da otvoria toia zlaten kovcheg,
da izvada tova belo platno,
da oushiia na brata koshoulia,
da izveza s taia zlatna svila,
na rukavi tiia sitni zvezdi,
na iakata tova iasno sluntse,
na otvitsi tiia sitni zvezdi,
che shte brat mi na voyna da ide."
