Below is written a popular folk song from the Prespa region. The song is in the Lower Prespa dialect.

Ozgora idat Turcite,
mladi Ljubanki teraat,
napred mi odi Todorka.
Todorke mlada nevesto,
ostavi si go deteto
na tie ravni ledini
na tie tenki kamenja.
Todorka poču turčinot
si go ostavi deteto
na tie ravni ledini.
Mi pominal ovčarče
pa si go zema deteto,
pa si go glavil sluginče
kaj edna mlada vdovica.
kaj toj mi Osman Beg.
Devet mi godidi sluguval,
liceto ne i go videl
na taa mlada vdovica.
Poduvnal veter gornjaneni
i go duvnal feredžeto,
liceto i se otkrilo,
liceto na vdovicata.
I togaš si ovčarče zagrabil,
majčice mila majčice,
deka sisluguvaše devet godini
vo taa crna zandana.
Ah milo moje detence,
deka rasteše devet godini
vo tie crni zandani.
Togaš si majka zagrnal,
zaklal si turčin na guša
i kuḱa si napravil
so tie pari od sluguvanje

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
