It is hard to believe that anyone can have a copyright on a folk song. (Toci (talk) 16:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC))Reply

The original text might be free if it is old. I doubt however that the English translation is. Where did you get it from? If it is from a recent book, it is most likely copyrighted by the translator. --Mdebets (talk) 16:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
I have translate it now, there is only Macedonian lyrics in the book. :-) So it can go as copyright free or should I write translated by me. (Toci (talk) 17:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC))Reply

I think I remember once looking up Macedonian copyright law, and it had the provision (similar to many other eastern European countries) that items of traditional folklore are not copyrightable. So I guess we have no problem here. Fut.Perf. 10:44, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
