A poem from the country I love - Macedonia

Here in the South

there are many colors and even more

nuances... in everything

We have always been proud of this wealth.

This is one of the reasons why,

even though it's a small country,

Macedonia has been known in history as

Catena Mundi-the link between worlds.

Here in the South

once you get to know the colors,

you remember them all your life:

the colors of love, friendship,

untouched nature,

the colors of a rich history,

and an even richer cultural heritage...

Here in the South

the colors are more intense,

they last all year, they bring joy,

optimism and happiness...

When you go far,far away, these colors

will always stay with you...

And the first thing you will remember

when you think of us

will certainly be colors-

the colors of my country...
