Bulgarian Cyrillic	Transliteration	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!	Vsemogǎštij pravij Bože, molim Carja ni pazi, daj mu sila, za da može zli povrati da srazi. Za pogrom na vragovete i za slavni bǎdnini, Bože, carju na carete daj na Carja svetli dni. A na bǎlgarskoto pleme uma Bože prosveti, sǎs ljubov da se obeme i zadružno procǎfti. Črez sǎglasie da može sila, volja da razvij, črez napredǎk daj mu, Bože, slavno ime da dobij!	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!
