Веће књигу од Богородице,
Однесе је цару на Косово,
Спушта књигу цару на колено...- On ne nosi tice lastavice,
Veće knjigu od Bogorodice,
Odnese je caru na Kosovo,
Spušta knjigu caru na koleno... - He bears not a swallow-bird,
But a letter from the Theotokos,
Carries it off to the Tsar on Kosovo,
Lowers the letter upon the Tsar’s knee...
