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:

    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)

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)
