Lyrics in Bulgarian:
Снощи е Добра късно седела
Ой Добро, Добро, добра невесто

Късно седела, попрелкувала
Ой Добро...

Та е напрела девет вретена
Ой Добро...

Девет вретена тънка основа
Ой Добро...

Да си дарува свекър, свекърва
Ой Добро...

Romanised lyrics:
Snošti e Dobra kâsno sedela
Oj Dobro, Dobro, dobra nevesto

Kâsno sedela, poprelkuvala
Oj Dobro...

Ta e naprela devet vretena
Oj Dobro...

Devet vretena tânka osnova
Oj Dobro...

Da si daruva svekâr, svekârva
Oj Dobro...

English translation:
Last night Dobra sat up late
Oh Dobra, good wife!
Sat up late spinning.
And she spun nine spindles-full
Nine spindles-full of fine warp-thread
And she wove fine wedding gifts
To gift her father-in-law, her mother-in-law
Her father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and his wife
Brother-in-law, his wife, and her younger sister-in-law
