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!	Vsemogashtiy praviy Bozhe, molim Tsarya ni pazi, day mu sila, za da mozhe zli povrati da srazi. Za pogrom na vragovete i za slavni badnini, Bozhe, tsaryu na tsarete day na Tsarya svetli dni. A na balgarskoto pleme uma Bozhe prosveti, sas lyubov da se obeme i zadruzhno protsafti. Chrez saglasie da mozhe sila, volya da razviy, chrez napredak day mu, Bozhe, slavno ime da dobiy!

Let them through accord Develop their strength and will, Through progress grant them, oh God, To deserve an honourable name!
