Skopje

SKOPJE

I take the path along the water
There’s lots of people passing by
And on the left bank of the Vardar river
Castle walls up in the sky

As I proceed I see big statues
Approach the centre of the town
The flying colors right in front of me
There are some steps leading me down.

I hear the ‘Da,da,da,da,da,da’
I hear this ‘Da,da’ the whole day
It means as much as saying ‘Yes’ to someone
In a Macedonian way

Make-donia, pure and true
Make-donia, we love you
Make-donia, pure and true
Make-donia, we love you.

I walk the road over the Stonebridge
And I cannot believe my eyes
It feels as if I am in a different place
The scene, it took me by surprise.

It feels so gentle, nice and cosy
It seems that love is in the air
All lively people, frolicking around
It’s like a merry fancy fair

I hear the ‘Da,da,da,da,da,da’
I hear this ‘Da,da’ the whole day
It means as much as saying ‘Yes’ to someone
in a Macedonian way

Children exploring all the playgrounds
The sun has chased the clouds away
Grumps are replaced by smiley faces
At the start of a new day
Make-donia, pure and true
Make-donia, we love you
Make-donia, pure and true
Make-donia, we love you.
