Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They told us we were ancient kings,
With golden swords and eagle wings.
Statues rising in the square,
But truth was gasping for some air.


---

[Pre-Chorus]

From Vardar waters to Shar's snow,
It’s time to let the old myths go.
No ancient dreams will rule this ground,
Just modern voices, real and proud.


---

[Chorus]

This is North – modern, strong and free,
Born in '44, built in unity.
No need for thrones or ancient crowns,
We wear the future, not hand-me-downs.

From Tetovo to Bitola town,
The multi-ethnic bells shall sound.
One country, many roots we see —
That’s our strength, our history.


---

[Verse 2]

We danced through decades in disguise,
With borrowed dreams and borrowed pride.
But now the mirror's clear and bright,
We are ourselves, and that’s our right.


---

[Pre-Chorus]

Let’s leave the legends to the past,
And build a future that will last.
No ancient scripts to make us whole —
We’ve got today, and that’s our gold.


---

[Chorus]

This is North – where truth takes the stage,
Not every tale belongs to this age.
We found our name through hope and strife,
Now let the facts define our life.

From Skopje’s streets to lakes of blue,
We're Macedonian — and more than that too.
One future, many names to call —
That’s our truth, and that’s for all.


---

[Bridge – Spoken or slow melodic]

We are not statues carved in stone...
We are people — flesh, rhythm, tone.
Not ancient, not fake — just here and now...
And that is more than myths allow.


---

[Final Chorus – with key change or backing vocals]

This is North – with honest light,
We’ve got no need to borrow might.
Let history flow and voices blend,
Our story starts where others end.

Many colors in one refrain,
One strong rhythm, one shared name.
Together strong, without fear,
This is the land we hold most dear.
