"Today Over Macedonia" is the national anthem of North Macedonia. It was composed by Todor Skalovski in 1941; two years later, the lyrics were written by communistrevolutionaryValdo Maleski. After the end of World War II, it was adopted as the anthem of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, then again upon the country's independence from Yugoslavia in the summer of 1992.[1][2][3]
Today over Macedonia is born
the new sun of liberty.
𝄆 The Macedonians fight
for their own rights! 𝄇
Do not cry, dear mother Macedonia,
Raise your head proudly high,
𝄆 Old, young, men, and women,
have risen to their feet! 𝄇
Now once again the flag flutters,
(that) of the Kruševo Republic
𝄆 Gotse Delchev, Pitu Guli
Dame Gruev, Sandanski! 𝄇
The Macedonian woods resoundly sing
new songs and news!
𝄆 Macedonia liberated
lives in liberty! 𝄇
