FYR Macedonia - \"Ruskina\" performed by Vlatko Ilievski
Pure and white, her skin is so inviting
Like a new, unbeaten snow
Eyes of blue, so beautiful and blinding
Like the sky over Moscow
A Macedonian boy and a Russian girl
Music takes us high to a different world
(Muzika! Muzika!)
Singing of God knows what...
No \"kakalyn\", no \"kamaya\"
No single word I understand
No \"kakalyn\", no \"kamaya\"
But you can teach me all the same
A Macedonian boy and a Russian girl
Vodka takes us high to a different world
(Vodka! Rakija!)
Drinking from God knows what...
No \"kakalyn\", no \"kamaya\"
No single word I understand
No \"kakalyn\", no \"kamaya\"
But you can teach me all the same.
