Излел е Дельо хайдутин,
Хайдутин ян кесаджие,
С Думбовци и с Караджовци.
Заръчал Дельо, порочал,
Дериданскине айене,
Айене кабадайе,
—В селоно имам две лели,
Да ми ги не потурчите,
Да ми ги не почърните.^[5]
Че га си слезам в селоно,
Мночко щат майки да плакнат,
По-мночко, млади нивести.
Гюлсуме Дельо зароча:
-Чувай са, Дельо, варди са,
че ти са канят, Дельо льо,
Деридескимнем айене,
айене и кабадане,
леят ти куршум сребърен,
за тебе, Дельо, да превият.
-Гюлсуме, любе, Гюлсуме,
не са е родил чилюкън
дену ще Дельо убие!^[6]

Izlel ye Delyo haydutin,
Haydutin yan kesadžie,
S Dumbovtsi i s Karadzhovtsi.
Zaračal Delyo, poročal,
Deridanskine ayene,
Ayene kabadaye,
—V selono imam dve leli,
Da mi gi ne poturčite,
Da mi gi ne počarnite.
Če ga si slezam v selono,
Mnočko štat mayki da plaknat,
Po-mnočko, mladi nivestni.

Delyo has become hayduk,
the hayduk, the rebel
with the Dumbovi and the Karadjovi clans.
Delyo gave the following orders
to the ayans (local notables) of Zlatograd,
to the brazen-faced governors:
- There are two aunts of mine in the village.
Do not make them Turks (= convert them to Islam),
do not besmirch them,
because when I come back
a lot of mothers will cry,
a lot of young brides.

Gyulsume told Delyo:
- Beware, Delyo, beware,
you are being threatened, Delyo
the Zlatograd rulers,
the brazen-faced governors,
they cast a silver bullet
for you, Delyo, to kill you.
- Gyulsume, my love Gyulsume,
not yet is born a man
who could kill me.

Came out rebel Delyo;
rebel true grit;
with fellow Dumbovtsi and Karadjovtsi;
asking Delyo warning;
the oppressors and the tyrants;
I have two aunts in the village;
don't you dare convert them;
don't you dare convert them;
don't make me come for you;
your mothers will mourn you;
and more so your wives

Gulsum cautions;
Listen Delyo, be wary;
for they collude, Delyo;
the oppressors and the tyrants;
casting silver bullet for your demise;
Gulsum, my love;
Delyo's match hasn't walked the earth yet;
