Default I need help with Translation

Dear Macedonia Forum members,

I need your help with a translation.

I have been given a song for my choir that has its source marked as Traditional Balkan. The lyrics are : -

Sto me o me milo male
Sto me o me milo, Eh


I want to understand the words we are singing and their origin. This is important for broadening our minds and for getting the musical and word stress in the right place!!

Thanks in advance

Jonathan

Dear Jonathan,you aimed at wrong people.This lyrics seem to be in Bulgarian,a language that has nothing to do with Macedonia and Macedonians who are Greeks.You are confusing real Macedonia(a region in Northern Greece,whose inhabitants are real Macedonians=Greeks)with fake <Macedonia>(=FYROM,whose inhabitants are Albanians,Gypsies,Turks and Bulgarians-the last ones were brainwashed for many years and believe that they are Macedonians).The members of this forum are Greeks at 95% and some of these Greek members are Macedonians,like me who speak only Greek.There are also some Bulgarian members,either from Bulgaria,like Christov,or from FYROM and if you are lucky,someone of them will translate these words.
