North Macedonia National Anthem Lyrics
Денес над Македонија се раѓа,
ново сонце на слободата!
Македонците се борат,
за своите правдини!
Македонците се борат,
за своите правдини!
Одново сега знамето се вее,
на Крушевската република!
Гоце Делчев, Питу Гули,
Даме Груев, Сандански!
Горите Македонски шумно пеат,
нови песни, нови весници!
Македонија слободна,
слободно живее!
