English Translation

Всемогъщий правий Боже,

молим Царя ни пази,

дай му сила, за да може

зли поврати да срази.

За погром на враговете

и за славни бъднини,

Боже, царю на царете

дай на Царя светли дни.

А на българското племе

ума Боже просвети,

със любов да се обеме

и задружно процъфти.

Чрез съгласие да може

сила, воля да развий,

чрез напредък дай му, Боже,

славно име да добий!

Vsemogăștii pravii Boje,

molim Țarea ni pazi,

dai mu sila, za da moje

zli povrati da srazi.

Za pogrom na vragovete

i za slavni bădnini,

Boje, țariu na țarete

dai na Țarea svetli dni.

A na bălgarschoto pleme

uma Boje prosveti,

săs liubov da se obeme

i zadrujno proțăfti.

Cĭrez săglasiie da moje

sila, volea da razvii,

cĭrez napredăch dai mu, Boje,

slavno ime da dobii!

Almighty, righteous God,

We pray, save our Tsar,

Give him might to overwhelm

Dire vicissitudes.

For defeat of the foes

And for a glorious future,

Oh God, Tsar of Tsars,

Give the Tsar bright days.

And enlighten the minds, oh God,

Of the Bulgarian people,

Let them be filled with love

And flourish in unity.

Let them through accord

Develop their strength and will,

Through progress grant them, oh God,

To deserve an honourable name!
